Introduction:
In the ever-evolving landscape of Bollywood, romantic comedies remain a beloved genre that offers escapism, humor, and a dash of romance. “Tu Jhoothi Main Makaar” (TJMM), with a runtime of 165 minutes, attempts to tick all these boxes, bringing together a talented cast and a blend of romance and comedy. However, while it has its moments of laughter and musical magic, it falls short in certain areas, leaving the audience with mixed feelings.
Performances: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ranbir Kapoor takes on the role of Mickey, and his performance is consistent. He excels in delivering monologues, showcasing his ability to hold the audience’s attention with his dialogue delivery.
Shraddha Kapoor, as Tinni, makes her return to the screen after a three-year break. Unfortunately, her performance doesn’t shine as brightly as one might expect. In several scenes, she appears somewhat dull, lacking the vibrancy that could have added depth to her character.
Dimple Kapadia, playing Mickey’s mother, Renu Arora, stands out with her great performance and impeccable comic timing. Her presence on screen adds a much-needed sparkle to the film.
Anubhav Singh Bassi, as Manu, delivers an average performance, occasionally coming across as dry in his portrayal.
Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
“TJMM” follows the typical Luv Ranjan formula, portraying the male lead as a victim. It features quirky one-minute monologues and plenty of hilarious scenes, along with family drama. However, like its predecessors, the film seems to fall into a predictable pattern, lacking heartfelt dialogues and presenting several loopholes in the script. The emotional scenes, which are meant to be the film’s core, often feel unconvincing.
Soundtrack: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The soundtrack curated by Pritam emerges as the shining star of “TJMM.” It offers a musical treat to the audience, featuring tracks like “O Bedardeya,” “Pyaar Hota Kahi Baar,” and “Tere Pyaar Mein” that leave a lasting impression and enhance the film’s overall appeal.
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Prediction:
AVERAGE
In a genre saturated with classics, “Tu Jhoothi Main Makaar” offers a decent rom-com experience, but it may not be the one that lingers in your heart long after the credits roll.
Conclusion
“Tu Jhoothi Main Makaar” is a rom-com rollercoaster that succeeds in making the audience laugh out loud but falls short in delivering a more substantial narrative. While Ranbir Kapoor’s consistent performance and Dimple Kapadia’s comic timing are noteworthy, the film struggles to rise above the formulaic approach often associated with Luv Ranjan’s films.
The music, undoubtedly, is the film’s saving grace, injecting soul into the otherwise inconsistent storytelling. “TJMM” is a lighthearted entertainer that may offer moments of amusement but doesn’t leave the audience clamoring for more.
