Meanwhile, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar has opened to mixed reviews. In her review, The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote, “Luv Ranjan’s latest ‘Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar’ is basically every Luv Ranjan film till now: the guys, they’re the best, the gals, well, they gotta learn their lesson. That, and the one thing no Luv Ranjan movie can do without: the monologue. The plot, basically an excuse to hang this one-line philosophy of his movies, is as loose and harebrained as they come.”

Considering Bollywood has witnessed only one raging success with Pathaan in 2023 as other films like Kartik Aaryan’s Shehzada and Akshay Kumar’s Selfiee petered out, there’s much hope pinned on Luv Ranjan’s film Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar as it sets a precedent for the upcoming Bollywood movies. The film industry has been going through a rough patch since the post-pandemic era, as most of the big releases in 2022, including Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, and four of Akshay Kumar’s films had flopped at the box office. Ranbir returned to the big screen with Shamshera last year, which didn’t perform well. However, he witnessed success with Brahmastra, which did well at the box office despite being unanimously panned by critics.
