== Synopsis ==
''Tiku Weds Sheru'' film is billed as a tale of two eccentric, starry eyed characters, who want to make it big in Bollywood. The film is a kind of love letter to those who come to this city, but lose their way yet end up finding something much more meaningful. Ranaut described the movie as a heartfelt ode to Mumbai, the city of dreams.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-24 |title='Tiku Weds Sheru' Ending, Explained: A Tale of Love, Dreams, and Redemption |url=https://www.thescreescore.com/2023/06/tiku-weds-sheru-ending-explained.html |access-date=2023-06-24 |website=The Screen Score |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-06-15 |title=Kangana Ranaut on Tiku Weds Sheru |work=The Economic Times |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/kangana-ranaut-reveals-tiku-weds-sherus-original-cast-included-her-late-actor-irrfan/articleshow/101007360.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2023-06-15 |issn=0013-0389}}</ref>

== Production ==

=== Development ===
The film was initially titled as "Divine Lovers", with [[Irrfan Khan]] and [[Kangana Ranaut]] as main leads in 2016.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-14 |title=Kangana Ranaut reveals Irrfan Khan and herself were original leads of Tiku Weds Sheru |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/web-series/kangana-ranaut-on-irrfan-khan-in-tiku-weds-sheru-101686744777373.html |access-date=2023-06-15 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-06-15 |title=Kangana Ranaut: Irrfan Khan and I were initially supposed to do 'Tiku Weds Sheru' |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/kangana-ranaut-irrfan-khan-and-i-were-initially-supposed-to-do-tiku-weds-sheru/article66971424.ece |access-date=2023-06-26 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>The film got stalled because director Sai Kabir felt severely ill for three to four years. When the filmmaker went back to working on the script, Irrfan passed away in April 2020. Kangana was also not in the same frame of mind that she was eight to ten years ago.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kangana Ranaut Reveals Tiku Weds Sheru Was To Be Made With Irrfan Khan: 'It Was Titled Divine Lovers' |url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/kangana-ranaut-reveals-tiku-weds-sheru-was-to-be-made-with-irrfan-khan-it-was-titled-divine-lovers |access-date=2023-06-15 |website=Free Press Journal |language=en}}</ref> Hence they decided to bring in a new cast.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-06-14 |title=Kangana Ranaut reveals Tiku Weds Sheru was first planned as Divine Lovers with her and Irrfan Khan |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kangana-ranaut-reveals-tiku-weds-sheru-was-first-planned-as-divine-lovers-with-her-and-irrfan-khan/articleshow/100993985.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2023-06-15 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

[[Shubhra Gupta]] of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave the film 1.5 stars (out of 5) and wrote, "While Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur are good fit for the roles, they never quite fit together and you can never overcome the queasiness caused by seeing Sheru slobbering over Tiku".<ref>{{Cite web |date=23 June 2023 |title=Tiku Weds Sheru movie review: Your eyes glaze over while watching this dated Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/tiku-weds-sheru-movie-review-nawazuddin-siddiqui-avneet-kaur-kangana-ranaut-8681785/ |url-status=live |access-date=23 June 2023 |website=[[The Indian Express]]}}</ref> [[Deepa Gahlot]] of [[Rediff.com|''Rediff'']] gave the film 1 star (out of 5) and wrote, "There is no redeeming feature in ''Tiku Weds Sheru'', and that is also rare.

== Controversy ==
The film's trailer received immense criticism owing to a kissing scene between the two lead actors. Critics pointed at the fact that the kissing scene between the lead actors seemed inappropriate considering the age gap between Siddiqui and Kaur.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Biswas |first=Sayantani |date=2023-06-19 |title=Nawazuddin Siddiqui opens up on kissing scene row, says ‘who else will do it?’ |url=https://www.livemint.com/industry/media/nawazuddin-siddiqui-opens-up-on-tiku-weds-sheru-kissing-scene-row-says-who-else-will-do-it-11687169202536.html |access-date=2023-06-24 |website=mint |language=en}}</ref>

However, Nawazuddin defended the scene and the film, explaining that "romance is ageless". In an interaction with [[India Today (TV channel)|India Today]], he said, "Romance is ageless. The problem is that the young men have no romance left. We are from the times when romance was something else. We would be in love and be in 'ishq' for years. Today, [[Shah Rukh Khan]] continues to do romantic roles because the young generation is useless. They don't know romance. Everything today happens on WhatsApp, be it love, or breakup. There is a reason behind this. People who have lived in romance can do romance. Who else will do it?”<ref>{{Citation |title="Romance Is Ageless": Nawazuddin Siddiqui Defends Kissing Avneet Kaur In 'Tiku Weds Sheru' |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h1eUbXViqs |access-date=2023-06-24 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Nawazuddin Siddiqui Defends Screen Kiss With Avneet Kaur, 21: "Romance Is Ageless" |url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/nawazuddin-siddiqui-says-romance-in-ageless-defends-age-gap-with-tiku-weds-sheru-co-star-avneet-kaur-4142676 |access-date=2023-06-24 |website=NDTV.com}}</ref> Earlier, Avneet Kaur too had defended the age gap saying, "I don’t see the age-gap between a male and a female actor as a problem. It has happened in the past but the performances of the actors have been appreciated. In fact, a lot of such pairings have received positive feedback. Kangana Ranaut ma'am has already said this was the requirement of the film and I agree with her".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-02-25 |title=Avneet on her age gap with co-star Nawazuddin: Don’t see it as a problem |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/avneet-on-her-age-gap-with-co-star-nawazuddin-don-t-see-it-as-a-problem-101645808523561.html |access-date=2023-06-24 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}</ref> Kangana reacted on it stating that, "The two who were supposed to do the film initially, Irrfan Khan and Kangana Ranaut, had an age gap of more than 20 years. Finally, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur, were zeroed in who too have an age gap of more than 20 years".<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-06-24 |title=Kangana Ranaut addresses the age gap between Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur in Tiku Weds Sheru |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kangana-ranaut-addresses-the-age-gap-between-nawazuddin-siddiqui-and-avneet-kaur-in-tiku-weds-sheru/articleshow/101223868.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2023-06-26 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>
