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.

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.
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.

Not Worth..Luv Ranjan failed this time
I am giving 4 stars because of the songs, ranbir-shradda pair on screen, few one liners in second half, and the climax scene. Luv Runjan surprsingly dissapointed with poor screenplay, poor dialogues and poor script writing.
They had superb casting but could not do character building or make optimum utilisation of the actors. The first 35-40 minutes you will see overacting from all the actors with baseless script and makes the plot very predictible.
There is a scene in the first half where Bassi literally with folded hands tells about Ranbir "Isko koi Chup Karau". All in the theater strongly felt with Bassi said.
I strongly felt to leave in the first half. The monologues by Kartik in previous movies were much better as compared to short monologues by Ranbir.
All in all you can watch on OTT platform, do NOT deserve to be seen in theater near you.

Watchable rom com
Typical Luv Ranjan style Rom-Com .
Well balanced Romance and Comedy . Decent plot which tries to be unique but comes under the template . Screenplay has it's own ups and downs . First half was kinda mixed bag , completely dedicated to story building and character establishment . Plot actually takes off in Second half , except few lags it delivers a appealing half . Loud and forced comedy worked in most of the places , especially climax was completely hilarious part of the movie . Ranbir and Shraddha were the pillars of the movie , and justified their characters . Other side casts had good scope to and contributed well . Behind the screen Pritam's mesmerizing music and songs were great support .
Despite some flaws overall a good entertaining and satisfying Rom-Com to watch . If you like Luv Ranjan's style of Rom Com then definitely give it a try .
