How Manmarziyaan is The Anti-Tamasha

Team FC

Two of the most loved love stories of recent times, Tamasha and Manmarziyaan explore the same storyline in different ways.

Tamasha follows the same storyline of the girl falling for the charmer, meeting the dull guy and finally realising her love for the charmer but with slight differences.

While a romantic movie felt totally out of Anurag Kashyap's comfort zone, it was interesting to see how he would present the most overused and "romanticised" genre of movies in India.

It was a pleasant surprise to see that the dull guy with a steady job and normal life style win the love of a crazy and bubbly female protagonist (i.e., the quintessential modern Hindi movie heroine).

It successfully portrays the realism and much-needed depth in the character of Abhishek Bachchan. And thus serves as a perfect anti-story to Tamasha.
