Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar - 2023
The film is helmed by Luv Ranjan famous for directing Pyaar Ka Punchnama 1 and 2, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. His area of expertise is showing relationships and reality revolving around relationships. There is no action or big blasts in the movie or suspense, just cheesy comedy and Bollywood romance which is not reality. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Anubhav Singh Bassi, Dimple Kapadia and Boney Kapoor. The movie includes everything family, romance, drama and, a lot of cheesy comedy and, don't miss the crappy music.
Rohan "Mickey" Arora(Ranbir Kapoor) is a spoiled upper-middle-class south delhi boy. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth but values his family and one friend Manu Dabbas. He has his hand in a number of businesses making my jack of everything. But his specialty comes in helping people break up without guilt. That's the first red flag about our protagonist. He gets hired by his own best friend to help him break up with his fiancé. Unfortunately, Mickey falls in love with bridesmaid Nisha "Tinni" Malhotra(Shraddha Kapoor) a corporate, middle-class and very good-looking Delhi girl. They meet and flirt and that's the best part of the movie the over-acting somehow works because it's so cheesy and fun. The biggest revelation undergoes during the interval since Tinni hires Mickey to help her break up with her fiancé. The movie does not end there the second interval is probably the better half of the movie. It's filled with laughter, emotions and a tragically good ending which our Director is not known for.
It could be the crappy theatre I watched the movie, but did the director spend the whole music budget on two songs? The rest of the songs were pure torture and unnecessary. There is a very big reason why the main characters should not break up in the middle of the movie, it adds more time for the screen to see them patch up. That could be the only reason why the audience will not enjoy it as much as any other movie. But overall the movie did justice to the romantic-comedy genre. Both Ranbir and Shraddha are doing amazing in the movie, they are connecting romantically, physically and collectively. The first half of the movie did feel a bit uncooked and recently Ranbir gave a statement "We shot the movie for 180 days without a script" which can be seen. There was no moral established till the very end it just pops up and suddenly it's converted into a family movie. This can be seen as a girl you love v/s family you love sort of drama movie.
