I miss the days of 2018sPadmaavatand 2016sAe Dil Hai MushkilorBefikre.
Big names and bigger productions with music youd be streaming to get through the work day for months.
Im not being picky or demanding.
Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar
Im not asking for a repeat of the back to back bangers we saw in 2015.
Well never get anotherBajrangi Bhaijaanout of Salman Khan, let alone in the same year as Shah Rukh-Kajol reunionDilwale.
So when I need to scratch thatdesiitch, the one film I keep rewatching is 2023sTu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.
Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar
Its not a 90s or a 00s classic, but Im not ready to raise the bar that high.
Maybe in its delayed production, it captured that last glimpse of pre-COVID magic Im yearning to return to.
Either way, it gets the job done and meets the minimum requirements.
Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar
It checks the boxes that matter most.
The plot may be the source of its staying power, mainly because of its simplicity.
Theres no reincarnation, no robots, just good old-fashioned human error to drive the story forward.
Mickey is a spoiled entrepreneur running his familys business, along with a side-hustle orchestrating breakups for cash.
Infatuated, he bails on the deal so that not ruin his chances with Tinni.
They introduce each other, clumsily, to their families, and life takes on a much different pace.
One that gives Tinni cold feet.
