Ranbir and Shraddha Kapoor’s movie Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar has been released in theatres today. While it’s being marketed as a romantic comedy, the film is primarily romantic, with a mix of drama and a smaller dose of comedy. The director is Luv Ranjan, known for movies like Pyar Ka Punchnama, Pyar Ka Punchnama 2, and Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety. If you’ve seen those, you’ll understand what kind of tone this film carries.
Now that I’ve watched it, let me give you a piece of spoiler-free advice. Think back to Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety—some similar vibes are present here. I won’t spoil the fun because I care about your experience, but trust me, there are surprises in this one. If you enjoy spoiler-free reviews, consider subscribing—it helps.
Smart Scenes and Twists
There’s a memorable scene where a character starts to explain a problem, but gets shut down before finishing. The humor and subtlety in such moments will click better if you’ve seen Luv Ranjan’s earlier films.
As for the story, Ranbir’s character comes from a family that owns a Mercedes showroom in Delhi. But on the side, he runs a unique business—helping couples break up. And if the price is right, he ensures a peaceful breakup where everyone’s happy. Enter Shraddha Kapoor’s character, and things get complicated as emotions take over.
Misleading Trailer, But in a Good Way
Surprisingly, the trailer misleads you in the best way possible. The conflict you expect doesn’t really exist, and instead, the film serves up more fun than you’d anticipate. At times, I honestly felt like I was watching a Christopher Nolan film—layers of who knows what, and mind games that make you think harder than expected from a rom-com.
Romantic Chemistry and Dialogue Play
The romance part of the film dominates the first half, and Ranbir Kapoor is brilliant in it—his experience in rom-coms really shows. Shraddha Kapoor also performs well, and their chemistry is strong. The writing behind their journey—falling in love, confessing it, and moving forward—is charming and engaging.
Some dialogues are cleverly written to confuse the audience, while side characters bring in humor that’s occasionally chaotic but adds to the charm. The romantic angle feels fresh, and when it wraps up, the film shifts gears into drama.
Emotional Drama and Family Themes
The dramatic part of the story kicks in after the romance fades, and although it feels a bit stretched at times, it hits the emotional chords well. Themes around family, responsibility, and living together are highlighted meaningfully. These serious moments provide a roller-coaster effect—just when things seem to slow down, the narrative takes off again emotionally.
Key Points
- The film focuses more on romance and drama than actual comedy.
- The trailer was misleading, making the film’s surprises more enjoyable.
- Ranbir and Shraddha’s chemistry adds charm to the movie.
- The emotional drama feels a bit long but delivers a strong message.
- Humor is decent, and the music, especially the theme, works well.
Comedy, Music, and Final Thoughts
One of the strengths of the movie is its use of a comic friend character, not overused, but included thoughtfully. The film doesn’t rely solely on him for laughs, which keeps the humor balanced. While it’s not a laugh riot, the film has a decent comedy level with a few standout fun scenes, including an enjoyable chase sequence.
The background music is solid, especially the Makkar theme for Ranbir’s character. Some unreleased songs also work well in the movie. That “thumka” song you’ve probably seen in the video? Its placement might feel a bit flashy, but it still fits the story.
Final Verdict
In the end, I had fun watching Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar. If the trailer or songs sparked even a little curiosity in you, I’d recommend giving it a watch. It offers surprises, emotions, laughs, and solid performances—all in a stylish package.
