Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar

Director: Luv Ranjan

Actors: Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor

Rating: 3/5

No, I don’t wanna delve too much into the film’s title that sets false expectations. But, really, this isn’t, strictly speaking, about the girl who’s a liar (jhoothi). And indeed, dude, where’s ma-kkaar—the deceitful, mean, cunning male of this movie? That’s supposed to be Ranbir Kapoor here—who, if he wasn’t here at all, let alone a rom-com, this wouldn’t qualify for a movie at all. 

I’m not even getting into a full 45-minute section in the second half, where enough raita is ‘failoed’ for you to wonder how something that starts off so tight/sorted, could melt into such a multi-directional mess?
