<p>The highly anticipated romance comedy 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar' has had audiences excited with its quirky title and sizzling chemistry between the lead pair of Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor. While it has struck a chord with the youth with its refreshing feel, vibrant visuals and the promise of a rom-com which is very young and very today, it has only increased the anticipation to know more and made junta wait eagerly for the trailer. Seems like that wait is over as the sassy and colourful new poster that launched today has announced the release date of the trailer as 23rd of January.</p>

<p>The new poster brings alive the world of the film, which is very colourful, fun, and full of life. Given that it’s a Luv Ranjan film we can guess that the story of the film will be anything but cliché. Relationships of today are also anything, but predictable. Audiences have waited for a while for a true-blue youth film and 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar' promises to be just that.</p>

'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar' trailer featuring Shraddha Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor to release on this date

<p><strong>Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar movie review:&nbsp;</strong>Filmmaker Luv Ranjan has been known for making rom-com that inadvertently shows the female protagonist in a bad light and the men as victims in love and relationships. In Ranjan's universe, the men are always at the receiving end from the women who are projected as ambitious, gold diggers, and as manipulative individuals. Considering his past films, I have to be honest I had already judged his latest <em>Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar </em>when the first trailer dropped. The convoluted title (loosely translated as you are a liar and I am a deceit) did help much. But the Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor starrer takes a fresh approach to modern relationships and Ranjan can shrug off the notions around him....well almost.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film primarily is a romantic comedy but also attempts to take a fresh look at how relationships work and slides in a message or two about true love, and familial love. The result is an engaging film with credible performances from its lead pair.</p>

<p>Set in Delhi, <em>Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar</em> has Ranbir Kapoor playing Mickey- a man who has multiple businesses including one of helping people break up- of course for a cost. His best friend Dabbas (comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi) is also his business partner and the two run a thriving business of breaking relationships. On a trip to Spain, Mickey meets Tinni (Shraddha Kapoor) and falls instantly in love. Tinni initially thinks it's a holiday fling, but Mickey convinces her that it is for real. Back home, Mickey introduces Tinni to his family, a boisterous Punjabi family that eats, drinks, and makes merry together. Suffocated and smothered by familial love, Tinni decides to call off the relationship but does not want to broach it on her own.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Life comes a full circle for Mickey when he realises his girlfriend is trying to seek his help to get rid of him from her life. Does she succeed and more importantly does she find out the truth about Mickey?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shot by Santhana Krishnan Ravichandran who gets the mood right, <em>Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar</em> looks very good from the word go. Actors Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor are in great shape, the locales of Spain are well shot and the whole film has a vibrant feel to it.</p>

<p>Luv Ranjan's actors and frames always look good. It is a story that is debtable mostly. In <em>Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar</em>, the lead protagonist takes no time to fall in love but the way Ranjan and co-writer Rahul Mody approach their relationship, coupled with humour, makes the film worth one's time.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Also read:</strong>&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/ranbir-kapoor-talks-about-his-tu-jhoothi-main-makkaar-character-says-my-coming-of-age-days-are-gone-568724">Ranbir Kapoor talks about his Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar character, says 'My coming-of-age days are gone!'</a></strong></p>

<p>Considering how women are usually projected in Luv Ranjan's films, Shraddha's Tinni is remarkably real and practical. She is ambitious, has a well-paying job and lives life on her terms. This is why it becomes difficult to accept her man with the baggage of his family, who are a constant in their relationship. Shraddha returns to the big screen after a long break and does justice to her role as the practical, level-headed Tinni.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The star of the show is Ranbir Kapoor, who in his goofy avatar is pitch-perfect as Mickey. Kapoor plays the charming Mickey to the hilt. His character may remind people of Prem from <em>Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani </em>and Bunny from <em>Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani </em>but Kapoor is fine a performer and makes Mickey an interesting character to watch. &nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>A scene featuring Rajan's lucky mascot Kartik Aaryan is super Meta and so well written and performed. There are so many references to Shraddha, Kartik and Ranbir's real life and the writers have done a swell job in incorporating all the elements into the film.</p>

<p>The film has plenty of monologues - all delivered by Ranbir. There are some which will remind you of Aaryan but Kapoor holds his own in a role that he has played often on screen before.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ranjan's films always have humour and this one is no different. A lot of references to pop culture, quirky dialogues and scenes featuring Bassi and Kapoor are well-written.&nbsp;</p>

<p>My only problem with the story was the way the two characters are shown to fall in love which seemed too rushed and half-baked. Even though both Shraddha and Ranbir share great chemistry on screen, the process of their falling in love seems too vague and hurried. I also wish Dimple Kapadia had not hammed so much playing the boisterous Punjabi mother.&nbsp;<br />

&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kapadia is a stellar actor and she really could have toned it down a bit. The film also marks the debut of producer Boney Kapoor who plays Ranbir's father in the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In Ranjan's universe, the man-child is a '<em>sachcha aashiq'</em> (true lover) but also a Mumma's boy who needs all his women around him at all times- mom, sister, grandmother and then the girlfriend.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I wish the film had ended slightly differently (not giving out spoilers, relax) because while the writers very carefully balance the character arc of the two protagonists well throughout the film, they ultimately bow down to conventional ways.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Watch&nbsp;Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar movie trailer:</strong></h2>

<br />
The narrative also appears to be repetitive after a point and the monologues are far too many to appear funny. It comes all together in the last half an hour with the quintessential dash-to-the-airport-to-profess-love scene where the writers and the actors pack in enough humour to provide plenty of laughs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite the flaws, Luv Ranjan's <em>Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar</em>&nbsp;truly makes for a good entertainer, especially during the festive season. Ranbir and Shraddha look great together, they complement each other as actors and dancers. They both are in top form and so is the director who puts romance over bromance, for a change.&nbsp;<br />

Even though both Shraddha and Ranbir share great chemistry on screen, the process of their falling in love seems too vague and hurried. I also wish Dimple Kapadia had not hammed so much playing the boisterous Punjabi mother. Kapadia is a stellar actor and she really could have toned it down a bit. The film also marks the debut of producer Boney Kapoor who plays Ranbir's father in the film. In Ranjan's universe, the man-child is a 'sachcha aashiq' (true lover) but also a Mumma's boy who needs all his women around him at all times- mom, sister, grandmother and then the girlfriend. I wish the film had ended slightly differently (not giving out spoilers, relax) because while the writers very carefully balance the character arc of the two protagonists well throughout the film, they ultimately bow down to conventional ways. Watch Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar movie trailer: The narrative also appears to be repetitive after a point and the monologues are far too many to appear funny. It comes all together in the last half an hour with the quintessential dash-to-the-airport-to-profess-love scene where the writers and the actors pack in enough humour to provide plenty of laughs. Despite the flaws, Luv Ranjan's Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar truly makes for a good entertainer, especially during the festive season. Ranbir and Shraddha look great together, they complement each other as actors and dancers. They both are in top form and so is the director who puts romance over bromance, for a change.

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar movie review: Luv Ranjan puts romance before bromance

<p>Kartik Aaryan’s career-changing romcom 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety(SKTKS)' &nbsp;which completes four years since its release on 23 February in 2018, is getting ready for a &nbsp;sequel.<br />
<br />
Yes, the controversial film about the over-possessive best friend Sonu(Kartik) who plots and plans and finally breaks up his friend Titu(Sunny Singh’s) &nbsp;proposed marriage with Sweet(Nushrat Nushrratt Bharuccha) is likely to have a sequel.<br />
<br />
Everyone wants to know what happened to the wrecked-angular relationship after &nbsp;Sonu got rid of Tutu’s fiancée.<br />
The &nbsp;2018 film was a glib-tongued game-changer. There is something to be said in favour of the spoken word in the movies, or the dialogue as its known. When sharply written, these words can embrace the characters in layers of unvarnished molten gold. Sure enough, the repartees in 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety'(SKTKS) &nbsp;just roll off the characters’ tongues making them sound sassy and sombre even when they are being mean and vicious just because it suits the script’s purposes. And &nbsp;God knows, this film needs no excuse to let the words flow. So full marks to co-writer Rahul Mody and &nbsp;Luv Ranjan for investing the vivacious proceedings with a &nbsp;verbal gusto that I found to be more sparkling in wit and insinuations than the dialogues in any recent film.</p>

<p>SKTKS is the story of the eponymous Titu(Sunny Singh, suitably equanimous) who is &nbsp;a &nbsp;bit of a rich spoilt dullard mithaiwala’s son who falls in love with every human being in a skirt, the shorter the better. It takes Titu’s &nbsp;BFF Sonu(Kartik Aryan) to rescue Titu from his &nbsp;disastrous relationship crises time after time.At one point in the slyly silken storytelling, Kartik’s Sonu tells the manipulative gold digger a story of what he did &nbsp;to a boy in the classroom as a child when that boy troubled Titu.</p>

<p>Clearly this a bromance of extraordinary intensity and Kartik and Sunny &nbsp;Singh, especially Kartik, plays the brothers-born-from-different-mothers with a &nbsp;ferocious fidelity never allowing gay insinuations to colour their camaraderie.Luv Ranjan &nbsp;is &nbsp;very clear &nbsp;in his reading of &nbsp;‘bromantic’ relationships. The woman is often a gold-digging manipulative scheming &nbsp;bitch.Nushrat Bharucha plays the part with relish. &nbsp;It’s her ongoing game of oneupmanship with &nbsp;Kartik Aryan’s Sonu that &nbsp;gives a thundering heft to the plot, lifting even the sagging episodes(like the pre-marriage bachelor party in Amsterdam which stretches into a blingy binge) to a &nbsp;zestful place filled with sexy sounds and &nbsp;seductive &nbsp;images of &nbsp;from privileged homes where no one has to bother about anything except the next holiday abroad.</p>

<p>Luv Ranjan is terrific at shooting family dynamics during festive times. Wedding-time negotiations, backbiting and meal/alcohol consumption occupy a &nbsp;major &nbsp;part of &nbsp;narrative. There is a &nbsp;kind of compelling clarity to the way Ranjan &nbsp;pins down the inner workings of relationships in joint families about to come together through a &nbsp;marital alliance.</p>

<p>Of course, it helps that character actors from Alok Nath(abandoning his bovine image to play a wickedly irreverent grandfather) to Pritam Jaiswal(as an annoyingly efficient house help who is manipulated out of the household) &nbsp;add character to every scene they occupy. Indeed this is not so much a triangle as a wreck-tangle with every supporting actor egging on the central conflict among two men who just can’t stop loving one another and a &nbsp;woman , who will tear them apart at any cost.</p>

<p>Nushrat Bharucha’s deftly enacted Sweety admits at one point she is not the heroine but the villain. So does she get her hero or does she get her comeuppance? The answer my friend is blowing in the wink. Tongue lodged firmly in &nbsp;cheek, Luv Ranjan’s bromance-versus-romance tale has enough bite to make it one of the most invigorating rom-coms &nbsp;in recent times.</p>

<p>After this oddball blockbuster changed &nbsp;Kartik Aaryan’s fortunes he had said to me, &nbsp;“Every actor dreams for this day and finally, for me it's here. I enjoy going to theatres to see the audience's reaction. I feel happy when they shout out my name. I'm enjoying the kind of love and adulation I'm getting from everyone and especially from girls haha . My Insta, Twitter and FB inbox is filled with marriage and dating proposals. I love reading them all.I started really young and was youngest actor to debut as a lead in a movie and before entering the industry a senior person had told me once that generally, it takes 7 to 8 years to make your identity in this city, Mumbai. It may sound a long span of time but trust me you won't even realise and it will go like this. But I feel you need to go through your own journey of struggle. It's important, it's necessary. It teaches you a lot about life. It makes you to value things in life. I used to travel from Navi Mumbai to Andheri for auditions via local train everyday. I used to get ready in railway stations’ washroom. But I had no option. I didn't know anyone in the city. But today I feel happy and proud when I look back at those days.”</p>

<p>So why &nbsp;did &nbsp;Kartik’s Sonu go all-out to destroy his best friend's marriage plans? Is there an undercurrent of homosexuality here? &nbsp;“I wouldn’t say Sonu destroyed his friend’s marriage. I’d say he protected his best friend from a &nbsp;gold digger. And yes, I’d do the same if push comes to shove. I &nbsp;don’t fear being judged as a misogynist. Because that’s my character Sonu they are judging, not me, Thankfully the audience is flocking to see the film without getting judgmental about the gender equations in the film.</p>

<p>About his special bonding with Luv Ranjan &nbsp;Kartik says, &nbsp;“I’d do it as many times as Luv Ranjan wants me to. Luv Sir stood by me through all these years. It takes a &nbsp;lot of guts to stand by someone you believe in when that someone is not a big star.He very clearly told producers it’s me and Nushrat Bharucha and no one else. I wonder where I’d have been in this lonely city without someone to believe in my talent.Not that I would have ever given up. I believed in &nbsp;myself. You have to believe &nbsp;in yourself only then &nbsp;can &nbsp;you expect others &nbsp;to believe &nbsp;in &nbsp;you.”</p>

<p>Luv Ranjan who recently got married has only warm thoughts for Kartik. “People have tried to spoil our rapport. They tell me has changed with success. But I see the same Kartik now as he was when I first signed him for &nbsp;Pyaar Ka Punchama after finding him on Facebook. Yes, we will work together again &nbsp;very soon.”</p>

#MeToo: Iranian actor Mandana Karimi accuses 'Kya Kool Hai Hum' director Umesh Ghadge of on-set harassment

<p>Filmmaker Sajid Khan is latest to join the list of people accused of sexual harassment and abuse as part of India’s #MeToo movement that has shamed many Bollywood bigwigs.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
In an explosive post on Twitter, former assistant director Saloni Chopra recounted her chilling experience with Sajid. She revealed how she was repeatedly harassed, subjected to misbehaviour and abuse by the director. He would call at odd hours and ask for bikini pictures, remembers Saloni in her lengthy post.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
She wrote: “For months, he mentally abused me and I would cry myself to sleep every night. He’d tell me I wasn’t sexy enough to be an actress. I didn’t have it in me, I didn’t have the ‘oomph’ factor. I talked too much. I didn’t sit properly. I wasn’t alluring or girly enough. Said he wanted to take me under his wing and make me an actress. Cast me in his next movie, but only if I was prepared for it. A part of me wanted it so bad that I kept working for him, and excusing his behaviour whenever I could.”&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
She added, “He’d say horrible, horrible things about his supposed girlfriend at the time, who also happened to be one of the kindest, nicest women I’d ever met in the industry. I wondered why she was with a man like that. He’d gloat about how he made her who she is today, and he could train me too. Then he’d go onto describe their sex life in ways I didn’t need to know, and also remind me about his one vagina problem. He’d talk about his dick and how big it apparently is and his sexual needs. He would ask me to touch his dick and get irritated with me when I said I didn’t want to.”&nbsp;</p>

It was his bedroom — Rachel White (@whitespeaking) October 11, 2018 × I stood like an idiot in one corner of the bedroom wondering where to sit and he was on one side on the treadmill. I clearly rem this episode. When he saw me walk in he goes “pls come this side” all smiling . I walk up towards the treadmill . He was directly staring down at me — Rachel White (@whitespeaking) October 11, 2018 × I was in a white vest and blue denims and still felt I was standing nude with that gaze. What happens next is that he finishes his cardio and walks up to me asking me about my boobs and making that kind of conversation. I didn’t bother to answer to anything. — Rachel White (@whitespeaking) October 11, 2018 × Finally he goes “listen no one has a problem with these things” (and obviously named people) and that if I could seduce him in 5 mins the role was mine. How this ended was me saying that I didn’t come mentally prepared for this and I left his house! — Rachel White (@whitespeaking) October 11, 2018 ×

#MeToo: Multiple women accuse Sajid Khan of sexual misconduct

<p>Luv Ranjan, director of ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ has been accused of sexual harassment by an actor who alleges that she was asked if she “masturbates” during the audition for a role in the hit film. It led her to walk of the audition as it made her feel uncomfortable.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/tanushree-dutta-records-statement-with-police-after-filing-fir-against-nana-patekar-170834"><em>Also read:&nbsp;Tanushree Dutta records statement with police after filing FIR against Nana Patekar</em></a><br />
&nbsp;<br />
Speaking about the incident, the actor told a tabloid, "It was 2010. I was 24, and had done two small roles in big movies opposite well-known actors, and was in the auditioning phase. I was called by Vicky Sidana, a casting director, who said that the auditions for Pyaar Ka Punchnama were on, and a very short list of girls had been called for them. I trusted him and hence, went for it. The dress code was a short skirt and a tight top, which was fairly common, and wasn't a problem with me. There were seven to eight girls there, and the strange part was that they didn't give us dialogues as they would usually ask you to enact the scene. This was supposedly only a look test."&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The auditions went okay till the bikini test came along. She participated in it thinking it was part of her profession. She said, "I was at Kumar Mangat's office and Abhishek Pathak, his son, was the producer. I'm not sure whether or not he was present that day because I didn't see him or interact with him. The director, Luv Ranjan, and the cinematographer were sitting in a room and calling the girls in one by one. The girl who went in before me came out with an ashen look and seemed uncomfortable. She hurriedly left. Then I went in. The room was properly lit for an audition and there was a proper camera set up, etc. &nbsp;They asked me to give an introduction, which was totally normal, totally legitimate.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
She added, "Then, Luv Ranjan said there was a kissing scene and bikini scene in the movie and asked if I was fine with that, to which I said yes. He said he wanted to see what I'd look like in a bikini. Later in life, when I gave another audition for a movie, there was a female stylist who gave me a bikini to do a look test in the presence of lots of people.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
"Luv asked me to strip down to my bra and panties. He said he wanted to see my body so he could check if I needed to lose weight. He said they were not recording anything and the cinematographer would also leave the room, so I needn't worry. After that, it all gets blurry. My heart was pounding and I rushed out saying I had to leave, and wasn't comfortable with it. I went home and tried to forget about it."&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
It didn’t end there. In the interview, the actress mentions that Luv Ranjan asked her intimate questions like whether she was a “virgin”, if she used “condoms” or if she “masturbates”.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
She narrates: “‘You need to draw from your experiences and when you can't, I need to know you so well, that I can help you’ said Luv. He asked me about my schooling and family, so I relaxed. Then he asked me if I had a boyfriend, to which I said yes. Then he asked, ‘Are you a virgin?’ I was shocked. He said, ‘Arrey, we can talk like this, we're adults’.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
She added, "Then he asked me if I used condoms. The last straw was him asking me if I masturbate. By then, I was scared and asked if I could leave. He said I shouldn't misunderstand him, and called the three guys into the room and asked them, ‘Do you trust me enough as a director, that if I were to ask you to drop your pants, you would?’"<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The actress couldn’t take all this. She settled abroad post the incident.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Luv has, however, denied all allegations and called it “absurd”. He said, “It's so absurd that I don't know what to say except that I deny it. I don't know how to react to an anonymous allegation beyond this and am willing to face any legitimate enquiry."</p>

'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety' becomes the second highest grossing film of 2018; races ahead of 'Padman'

<p>Like most of his previous films, Luv Ranjan&#39;s latest <em>Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety</em>, presents the age-old battle of the sexes in the most stereotypical manner, cushioned with some misfired jokes and dollops of cuss words.&nbsp;<br />

When Ranjan made his first film, the hilarious <em>Pyaar Ka Punchnama,</em> most of us overlooked the sexist tone in the film because it provided genuine laughs with some witty lines. The sequel, <em>Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 </em>was similar in many ways. It had three boys delivering some sharp lines and being the hapless boyfriends to very shrewd, sexy, gold diggers. Both films indulged in sexist jokes and female bashing. &nbsp;His second film <em>Akaash Vani</em> - was perhaps the only departure from his formula comedies- where the film spoke about marital rape.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<em>Sonu Ke Titu ki Sweety</em>, unfortunately, does not fall into the latter category but the former. Ranjan&#39;s story about &#39;Bromance vs Romance&#39; sticks to stereotypes, makes jokes about ditzy women who either are wanting to sleep with the rich brats or marry and take control of them. Or both.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sonu (Kartik Aaryan) has been lending his shoulder to his BFF Titu (Sunny Singh) to cry on, for years every time he breaks up with a girl. Titu, a bit of a mushball, falls easily in and out of love and Sonu, like a good and possessive friend, always ends up &#39;rescuing&#39; him from the clutches of manipulative girls. Titu meets Sweety Sharma ( Nushrat Bharucha) in an arranged marriage set up and falls instantly in love. Sweety has literally no flaw. She knows how to please her man and his family with the right responses and timely<em> j</em><em>agratas</em>. The only person who is not impressed is Sonu, who feels something is surely fishy about the girl who is set to marry his friend. &#39;<em>Itna perfect </em><em>kaun</em><em> </em><em>hota</em><em> hai</em>?&#39; is his argument.&nbsp;</p>

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="javascript:void(0)" id="jqclosemark">&times;</a></div>

<p>As the days go by and the family gears up for the grand wedding, Sonu tries every trick in his bag to sabotage the wedding because he is sure that the girl is not right for his friend. The girl though is smart enough to figure out Sonu&#39;s intention, and even admits she is &#39;<em>chalu</em>&#39; and calls a spade for a spade and has a ready retort to all of Sonu&#39;s accusations. Thus begins a battle of sexes and no prizes for guessing who wins in a story that screams of misogyny.<br />
<br />
Ranjan manages to gather a motley group of actors, all in top form and delivering some unintentional and some genuinely hilarious lines with absolute ease. Aaryan, a regular in Ranjan&#39;s films, gets the over suspicious, over-possessive Sonu&#39;s part to the hilt. So does Singh, who as the gullible, sweet Titu is someone you would fall for very easily. There is Alok Nath, &nbsp;who after ages gets to be non -<em>sanskari</em>, and is quite a delight to watch. Actress Ishita Raj, as Titu&#39;s ex girlfriend also delivers a fine performance as the girl who is gullible enough to think Titu wants her back. The film&#39;s female lead, Bharucha, Ranjan&#39;s other favourite, though gets a raw deal as her character is the most half-baked. Never does it clearly mention as to why Sweety is not the right girl for Titu or why she can&#39;t be trusted. So Bharucha is left narrowing her eyes&nbsp;at regular intervals.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In fact, Ranjan oversimplifies and makes a generic statement on how between the wife and the friend, the wife wins. In Ranjan&#39;s universe, the woman is always manipulative, overtly critical, always wanting to control the man in her life and usually a gold digger. In all his films, including <em>Sonu Ke Titu ki Sweety</em>, women are the butt of all kinds of jokes. His characters pass sweeping statements on women and his women stick to all kind of stereotypes. And that is the primary problem with this film. But isn&#39;t this something that Luv Ranjan has been portraying in all his films?Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety doesn&#39;t offer anything new that way.</p>

<p>Barring one, all his films have celebrated male bonding at the expense of dissing the women.

Ranjan&#39;s films always have some hilarious lines and this film has its fair share too. But all of these factors still don&#39;t manage to make the film as entertaining at Ranjan&#39;s first film.</p>

<p>Despite its flaws, the film is bound to work. Because it celebrates <em>dosti</em><em> </em>over <em>pyaar</em>.

It has some catchy tunes, good-looking actors who deliver the witty, cocky lines perfectly that will get the crowd cheering in the theatres for sure.</p>

<p>Is that good enough? Maybe for the audience that it caters too. But if you look beyond all the floss, it indulges in&nbsp;misogyny and that is definitely not cool.</p>
