A Rom com film where the comedy content is less
I watched the film though I have very excited & exception before but when I watch the film is just like average to me because in modern era love stories youth generation have more values while a classical love story make the emotion between the characters of lovers little stronger although they portrayed their part in a very good & also talk about the family values of boy's is too good and well written & also boy part also good. For me girl part should be little improve rest the movie is good, one time watch but the story looks simple to me. Modern love story (i.e. Drama) is good at that point.
Could have been better
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.

DISAPPOINTED
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)

Monkey balancing between feminism and family ethos
Again a bakwas content. Same again monkey balancing b/w poisonous feminism and Indian family ethos. Nonsense justification of not marrying one' who is too much loves you and good in nature.
Cons: 1. Couples are going for job, and old parents are handling household works 2. Nonsense scenes when whole family request heroin to stay.
3. Club culture
Pro: 1. Hindu rituals and God praying scenes 2. Leaving partner for family, but only in a single place. And then the same guy do opposite further.
3. Criticism of one night stand relationships.
Don't watch and waste your money and time. #boycottbollywood.

Comedy hits, everything else misses
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.
