5/10
A clean family entertainer
23 October 2021
"Jhooth Bole Kauwa Kaate" was the comeback film of the legendary film-maker, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, which he made after 10 years following "Jhoothi," which too was the last film of the legend. Clean family entertainers have been the trademark of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's movies. The trademark persists in his last production too, which in many ways stands different to 90s formulaic movies. It, at instances, presents some wit and laughs. But overall, the film feels a bit weary with the familiar jokes from the legend's masterpiece comedies like "Golmaal " and "Naram Garam." The performances are ok, but lack the sparks. In a nutshell, the film represents the film-making style of a legend with some decency but misses the sparks in performances and narration which ends it into a passable entertainer, but not a masterpiece.
