Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar

The movie could have been better, well in many and indeed many areas.

Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, sounds good pair, well they were certainly looking good on screen, there were sort of some moments, some chemistry, but throughout the movie you will be the special element being missed.

First half of the movie, not making much sense, not making any rhyme and you start to feel the boring element rising. Second part, better and interesting, anyone can guess the ending and the entire plot by then. Movie was with a message of being with the family and differences can be resolve, but not given in a much effective way.

All in all, it is a one time watch, nothing extra to expect.

P. S.

Only one song was good, rest, too boring.

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.

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar is two films in one, promoted as a third completely different one altogether. You walk in expecting a typical Luv Ranjan film with the twist of both of its lead characters being anti-heroes but get confronted by a Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi-esque love story coupled with family drama.

The film shines the brightest during its comedy scenes (the FRIENDS finale inspired family banter in the car is the highlight of the film). The meta jokes land well. Bassi delivers one-liners like he did when he was at his peak as a standup comedian and while his own subplot in the film makes no sense, he chews whatever bite he's given well. The child actor, Inayat Verma, is the definition of chhota packet bada dhamaka. She plays her character with such ease and brilliance and hits both the punchlines and the slapstick comedy with such perfection, I became a fan. The supporting cast in general is fantastic. Shraddha, as always, looks gorgeous in the film and performs fairly until her shortcomings in the acting department get highlighted in scenes where she has to deliver purely through her expressions. This isn't anywhere close to Ranbir's best performance, in fact he puts his acting skills on the backburner, but apart from some scenes where he unnaturally breaks the fourth wall due to the director's insistence, he does fit in well.

The film, however, tests your patience in emotional scenes in the second half, completely losing both its tonality and crowd pull. Attempts at using songs to pick up pace and audience interest fall flat in the last hour. The film picked up a pretty relevant topic in the second half but chose a convenient way out of it. I would've preferred the realistic ending they were going for until the U-turn that they took in the last 30 minutes but that wouldn't have had the commercial appeal that is needed to carry Bollywood films to the Hit verdict these days. The background score of the film is fantastic and it does have some catchy chartbusters too but it has one too many songs for its own good. The direction is pretty mediocre as is the writing but I walked in leaving my brain in the fridge at home so I was able to look past that.

Overall, the film is a decent one-time watch constructed calculatively to make it flow with the masses and even if you aren't one of them you could enjoy it for its comedy.

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 .

Good looks cannot save this dull Movie. Editing is the main villain of this film .Ranbir Kapoor is terrific as usual . Shraddha gave an earnest performance. Veteran actor Dimple Kapadia shines again . 1st half is tiresome ,2nd half picks up some pace but the incoherent writing ruined it completely. The songs are well placed but the problem is build up, screenplay fell flat which turns into a Yawn fest for the audiences. RK is very good in emotional scenes but this time audience unable to connect due to sloppy writing.

Luv Ranjan's monologue didn't work this time as the film .Luv Ranjan lost his mojo ,he should rethink about his cliched formula. If you are a RK fan this is for you if not this is strictly a one time watch (Only for the songs)
