direction
Luv Ranjan’s films have a different flavour. His films have often touched the heartstrings of the youth. Be it the heart-wrenching monologues of a boyfriend upset with his girlfriend or the dilemma of choosing between friendship and love, the youth has always felt very connected to love stories. Titled Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, this film also addresses some of the issues of the youth. On the one hand, while the boys remain like a pendulum between the girlfriend and the family, on the other hand, Love has painted the film in a new color by keeping a modern approach on the issues like the girls’ desire for an independent life and the life stuck between the joint family.
The disparity is clearly visible in the first half of the film. In the first part, there is a tremendous stretch of the story. Seeing many unnecessary scenes and dialogues, the mind feels bored. There is a lack of editing here. The timeframe could have been reduced by crisping the story. However, the way the film which was boring after the interval has taken a U-turn is commendable. During the second half, the film takes you on an emotional ride. Where the right dose of every emotion related to family values, romance, friendship is seen. The one liners of the film are his life. Along with this, there is an entry of two such actors, who definitely brings a smile on the face when seen on the screen. Overall the film is a family entertainer with all the elements that will appeal to the mass audience.
technical and music
The technical side of the film is its strong side. Ayanka Bose and Santhana Krishnan Ravichandran’s cinematography was class. Be it Gurgaon or Spain, every location in his frame looks exotic and grand. It is a treat to watch the film on the silver screen. Hitesh Sonik’s background score was in perfect harmony with the emotion of the film. The variation of music on every emotion has given life to its scenes. At the same time, Pritam’s songs have rocked the chart buster even before its release. Especially songs like Tere Pyaar Mein, Kabhi Baar Pyaar Hota Hai, O Bedardi will soon be included in people’s play lists. The carelessness of Akiv Ali and Chetan Solanki is clearly visible in editing. If some scenes of the first half were edited and crisped, then perhaps the film would have looked even better.
