Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan's jodi has struck the right chord with the audience once again. Their romantic comedy Tanu Weds Manu Returns which hit the screens last month has turned out to be the highest grosser of this year leaving behind Akshay Kumar's action flick Gabbar Is Back. In fact, the Aanand L Rai directorial venture is also the first film of 2015 to enter the Rs 100 crore club. While last year Kangana proved why she is the real Queen of Bollywood, this year the National Award winning actress has also proved that she is bankable star and can get cash registers jingling like any of the Khans. Her film Tanu Weds Manu Returns has already collected Rs 116.73 crore at the Indian box office and its still rock steady.
