Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar- Movie Review: This boy-meets-girl story, of flirting, falling in love, and then falling out of it equally soon, is as jaded as it gets. Families get involved and finally, there is a climax that's no rocket science to guess! Director Luv Ranjan's Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar starring Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, is a film that plays with the extremes. The funny parts are extremely funny, and the boring parts are intolerably boring.
Micky (Ranbir) and Tinny (Shraddha) meet at the bachelor party of their respective best friends Dabbas (Anubhav Singh Bassi) and Kinchi (Monica Chaudhary). They have an instant connection and ishq wala love happens. Micky is a family-oriented guy who can't do without his family members, Tinny is an independent career-oriented girl who needs her own space and life. Only a breakup guru can help them part ways. But is it that simple after the families are involved and the couple is almost about to get engaged? Will they make the ultimate compromise in love and career? Or as Sima Aunty (from Indian Matchmaking says), you can only get 60-70 percent compatibility, you never get 100 percent. Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar touches chords with the modern-age romantic relationships and issues that aren't far from reality albeit there's no moral compass that the director defines for his characters. The first half has no head or tail, and just keeps dragging in its mediocre writing. Second half opens up on a promising note but in no time, the story turns so predictable that you can almost guess it scene by scene.
If you a fan of Bollywood music, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar won't disappoint you as it has not one or two but five-six full-fledged songs. Three of them come in the first 30-40 minutes and they're peppy tracks.- Don't care if they were needed in the storyline or not!
