1) Tanu and Manu’s mental asylum fight in Tanu Weds Manu Returns

Tanu-Manu strike again with the funny banter! Who can forget this epic mental asylum couple’s fight from Tanu Weds Manu Returns? It was a truly hilarious scene laced with bitingly sarcastic humor, and Kangana- Madhavan’s sour chemistry from a marriage gone wrong was simply on point! Not to mention the terrific dialogues, “I think I love him like a mammal, like a homo sapien”, “Kaunsa sex? Pichle baar 2013 main bhai dooj ke time hua tha!” No wonder this fiery couple was an all-time favourite with the audience.
2) Tanu’s towel-clad rebel act in Tanu Weds Manu Returns
Kangana Ranaut, back in her rebel avatar for Tanu Weds Manu Returns had the audience in splits with her IDGAF attitude! This scene from Tanu Weds Manu Returns was just priceless, from Kangana boldly swaggering down clad just in a towel in front of the groom’s family-to-be, to everyone’s stupefied reactions. Not only is she audacious but strangely inspiring as well, as she tells the bride-to-be to break away from the monotony in her life instead of settling for marriage.
3) Whisky is Risky in Happy Bhag Jayegi
Guddu from Happy Bhag Jayegi is definitely right. Urdu can make anything sound eloquent! Guddu and Afridi’s drunken witty exchange over Urdu is truly funny. The tongue-in-cheek humour taking a political dig, “Ek gal pucho? Kashmir chod ke kuch bhi pucho!” also left the audiences giggling.
