Bollywood climax
Luv Ranjan has once again brought Bollywood's most cliche airport ending back to the screens with Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. But this time it is not as simple as breaking a traffic signal or picking up a stranger's vehicle and stopping the flight to stop your love from going. Rather, Luv Ranjan has added such a twist to it that Bollywood movie lovers will laugh, get emotional and will become teary-eyed. It would not be wrong to say that the climax has done its job perfectly. The dialogues and punchlines are whistle worthy in many parts.
Kartik and Nushrratt's surprise
For those who missed Kartik Aryan and Nushrratt Bharuccha in a Luv Ranjan film, there is a surprise. The actors appear in the movie in such a way that you will be left ROFL-ing. Nushrratt will narrate the story of 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety' as her sad love story while Kartik's cameo has a connection to his popular monologue 'Problem yeh hai...'.
Story of independent girl on 'Woman's Day'
The film is releasing on 'Women's Day', so Luv Ranjan has also taken care that today's working and independent-minded girls should also be given a place in the story. What all goes through the mind of a working girl living in a joint family, or how she has to compromise on her career, has been shown well with the role of Shraddha Kapoor's mother. At the same time, it has also been shown in the best way how Indian families need to change their views about working women. So that never a woman is forced to give up her love in the name of joining a joint family.
Performances
Ranbir Kapoor is always a visual treat to watch onscreen, and he shines once again as Mickey. From his comic timing to being the self-obsessed, boy next door, to his charm and shirtless scenes, Ranbir did a great job. However, it is very refreshing to see him in a somewhat different role than before.
Shraddha Kapoor as Tinni looks totally connected with her character. Throughout the story, she left no stone unturned when it comes to acting and dialogue delivery. There are some fantastic shots of Shraddha in a bikini that are whistle worthy. There is no doubt that she looks good with Ranbir on-screen.
Dimple Kapadia plays Ranbir Kapoor's mother and is perfect as ever. She also seems to have perfect comic timing and looks fun as a Punjabi mother. Who can randomly slap anyone, and no one cares. On the other hand, Boney Kapoor has also brought alive a boring, non-formal father character who is seen sitting in front of the TV all the time.
Anubhav Singh Bassi has made people laugh while playing the role of Mannu. Bassi looks good on screen with his punchlines, but he still needs to work on his acting.
If you are a rom-com lover, then you will enjoy the film a lot. A must-watch for Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor fans. If you appreciate good Bollywood songs, then you will like this film. If you have ever gone through a breakup then this movie is for you, if you love your family then this movie is for you and only.
