Synopsis

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar

Rohan "Mickey" Arora is the son of Ramesh Arora, a rich Punjabi business magnate, and lives with his family in New Delhi. Mickey and his best friend Manu Dabbas secretly work as break-up consultants, helping people break-up with their respective partners. Mickey and Manu travel to Spain for Manu's bachelor party, where they are accompanied by Manu's fiancée Kinchi and her best friend Nisha "Tinni" Malhotra. Mickey and Tinni hook up and eventually fall in love. Upon returning, Manu and Kinchi get married, while Mickey and Tinni introduce each other to their respective families. The families accept their relationship and start preparations for their wedding. However, Tinni feels she is not ready for the marriage and decides to break-up with Mickey. Tinni contacts the break-up consultant on phone, not knowing that it is Mickey, and asks for help in breaking up with him. Unaware that he is speaking with Tinni, Mickey agrees to help her. Mickey suggests that Tinni and her partner match each other's horoscopes and if they do not align, then the marriage can be called off. However, their horoscopes align perfectly. Mickey soon finds out that the client is none other than Tinni and gets heartbroken as she did not discuss her concerns with him and try to sort out the misunderstandings. Mickey decides to play along and beat Tinni at her own game. Mickey suggests Tinni to do a "jealousy test", which can lead to their break-up.

The Quint Pratikshya Mishra

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar doesn’t try to be more than it is advertised to be and at first sight; it can even be considered entertaining. However, once you start to peel apart the layers, its flaws are laid bare and one wonders if Bollywood will ever grow out of those tropes.

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar rejoices in this dated deceit and stays true to its director's trademark boy bias.

India Today Tushar Joshi

Ranbir’s sidekick in the film Anubhav Singh Bassi uses his standup comedy learnings to the best ability and is hilarious in most scenes. Where TJMM falters is in its lengthy and tiring first half. Since this is Ranjan’s most family friendly film (to the extent that it has direct reference to the father of family dramas - Sooraj Barjatya), it should have had more fun moments between Ranbir and his dysfunctional family, instead it puts too much emphasis on making the frames look glossy and overdone. There are also a few odd looking close-up shots of Ranbir where he looks like there are multiple Instagram filters covering his lean jawline. Perhaps an effort to make him look younger to suit the character? Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’s second half and peppy climax redeem its lazy first half and making it a worthy entertainer.
