Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar

Finally a Luv Ranjan movie without women-bashing.

I'm a fan of insta-love when done right, but this one wasn't it, chief. It seemed like an infatuation more than actual love. The chemistry was also lacking. The premise was okay & the movie had a lot of plot holes, but the movie is aware of at least some of them. Without giving away any spoilers, one of the major illogical aspects was like when Superman wore glasses, and no one was able to recognise him.

Ranbir did a good job as usual, Shraddha's acting paled in comparison. The cgi de-aging effect done on them was a bit awkward tho, making it hard to see the micro-expressions Ranbir usually uses to portray his emotions. Their skin looked one-toned. The supporting cast did a splendid job as the lovable family. Bassi was also great as the friend.

I am giving 4 stars because of the songs, ranbir-shradda pair on screen, few one liners in second half, and the climax scene. Luv Runjan surprsingly dissapointed with poor screenplay, poor dialogues and poor script writing.

They had superb casting but could not do character building or make optimum utilisation of the actors. The first 35-40 minutes you will see overacting from all the actors with baseless script and makes the plot very predictible.

There is a scene in the first half where Bassi literally with folded hands tells about Ranbir "Isko koi Chup Karau". All in the theater strongly felt with Bassi said.

I strongly felt to leave in the first half. The monologues by Kartik in previous movies were much better as compared to short monologues by Ranbir.

All in all you can watch on OTT platform, do NOT deserve to be seen in theater near you.

TJMM : This Modern Rom-Com is a Winner

TJMM serves as the quintessential revival of Bollywood Rom-Coms which was missing. A refreshing yet relatable premise, solid laugh-out-gags, entertaining bollywood music, peppy and vibrant dance numbers and an engaging chemistry between the lead pair all work in favour of the film. Overall a delightful, enjoyable rollercoaster which has fun, emotions and a lot of reliability factor which the masses will appreciate.

Luv Ranjan's trademark style of direction involves a lot of rambling of long dialogues without a break can be tiring at times for all the actors but the othet things mostly go the right way. Amazing cinematography, vibrant color grading, bollywood chartbusters, peppy dance performances and a wonderfully woven genre fusion of rom-com and family drama keeps you engaged till the end. In terms of performances, Ranbir is loud at times but exceptional for the remainder and Shraddha is understated but appreciable in the comeback. Bhassi provides the calm to the chaos and he does relatably good as a debutant.

A few flaws. Major ones.

The tone of story telling in few places doesn't match with the intensity or importance of some scenes.

Like, the scenes where Shraddha gets annoyed with too much interference or lack of space from Ranbir's family should have been a tone up. It was almost comedy than being the soul of the movie itself.

Shraddha was upset with Ranbir for not telling her that he knew she wanted to break up with him. Well, looks more like fake feminists crying over everything that is their fault.

Lastly, everybody got to their knees, including Ranbir's grandmother to pacify Shraddha is more like a Karan Johar movie.

Typical Luv Ranjan style Rom-Com .

Well balanced Romance and Comedy . Decent plot which tries to be unique but comes under the template . Screenplay has it's own ups and downs . First half was kinda mixed bag , completely dedicated to story building and character establishment . Plot actually takes off in Second half , except few lags it delivers a appealing half . Loud and forced comedy worked in most of the places , especially climax was completely hilarious part of the movie . Ranbir and Shraddha were the pillars of the movie , and justified their characters . Other side casts had good scope to and contributed well . Behind the screen Pritam's mesmerizing music and songs were great support .

Despite some flaws overall a good entertaining and satisfying Rom-Com to watch . If you like Luv Ranjan's style of Rom Com then definitely give it a try .
