  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,March 16 2011]

The movie is enjoying a successful run in spite of the cricket fever. And owing to its winning status ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ will be now made into German, our birdies said.

Yes, buzz is that this romantic comedy impressed a group of students from Germany, so much that they have decided to translate ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ into German.

They were the students of Comparative Cinema from the University of Regensburg in Bavaria (Germany). When they met the film’s director Aanand Rai, the students excitedly bombarded him with several questions, much to the surprise of the filmmaker. “I was surprised that they wanted to see 'Tanu Weds Manu', and even more surprised at the way they responded to the film, remarked Rai.

On lighter note, he added that they asked questions about the wedding proceedings that even he had never asked himself. However, the director felt very encouraged to know that his film about small town culture connected so deeply with them.

Sources said that now the German delegation has returned home and has immediately initiated plans to release ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ in a dubbed German version. A thrilled Rai stated, “Tanu Weds Manu is making inroads in places where Bollywood cinema is not a priority. I suppose my honesty of purpose showed up on screen.”

Tanu, Manu mubarak o!
