Hello...
It's been a long time since I didn't have a deep talk, about anything.
I recently watched a very touching Bollywood film. As a big fan of Indian romantic movies, the last few years I've lost my favorite genre. Bollywood films labeled romantic comedies are usually just entertaining without leaving a deep impression. In the modern era, I have to admit that the color of Bollywood romantic films has changed 180 degrees. What used to uphold culture is now the opposite and more westernized. As a viewer and connoisseur of films, I must admit that I have become lethargic. Want to leave the film industry as a hobby, but yes it will not. Haha...
The film is called Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, henceforth I will call it TJMM. TJMM means, You Liar I'm Cunning. This film pairs two of my favorite artists at once, Namely Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor. Yup, both of them have the same surme but are not related. This film is directed by Luv Ranjan, who I have seen before are Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety and De De Pyaar De. To be honest, I never expected that TJMM would be this cool from a story perspective. I have been waiting for such a meaningful Bollywood film for a long time.
OK, I'll tell you a littl story about TJMM and why I become crazy about these movie.
This film starts from Mickey who runs a secret business where he helps people who want to break up with their partners without leaving a bad impression. Mickey and his childhood friend Mannu run the business together. One day Mannu asks Mickey's help to make him separate from his fiancé. Instead of helping, Mickey falls in love with Kinchi's best friend, Tinni. Mickey continues to chase Tinni until Tinni finally falls in love with him. After returning from vacation, Tinni was introduced by Mickey's family. This is the beginning of the problems in the Mickey-Tinni relationship that Mickey is not aware of. Tinni begins to feel uncomfortable with the treatment of Mickey's family who love him very much. Tinni and Mickey never have alone time, there's always Mickey's family on their weekends.
After that, what happened with that lover is about an emotional rollercoaster that will make your eyes keep on the screen.
Do you know that this film is like the biography of Ranbir Kapoor, who is indeed a family man. I assume that this is related to his love affair with his ex-girlfriend, Katrina Kaif. Katrina and Ranbir used to be dating for a very long time. 10 years, maybe. They fell in love since working together in the film Azab Ki Ghazab Prem. If you watch their old videos, you will find that Ranbir looks full of smiles when he is with Katrina. Rumor has it, Ranbir's mother disapproved of them so they had to break up, right after Katrina attended RK's family function several times, so I assume that the reason for the end of their relationship was because Ranbir did not want to separate from his family, just like in this TJMM movie.
But Ranbir has dismissed this notion. Looks like Ranbir knows what we are thinking huh? Ha ha ha ha
What do you think?
Perhaps many will not realize that Tinni's character in this film represents an independent woman, who has not depended on anyone all her life and feels uncomfortable if someone else interferes in her life, even if it is her own family.
This was clearly illustrated at Mannu's wedding, where Tinni had not spoken anything about her relationship with Mickey, even though on Mickey's side, Tinni had been introduced and was involved in several family events.
The second indication is when Tinni is uncomfortable with the treatment of Mickey's family, which according to her is getting too far into her relationship with Mickey, uncomfortable with the abundance of affection given by Mickey's family so that in the middle of the story she decides to end her relationship. He gave up the people he loved for the freedom to choose and determine his own life.
Another character that is just as amazing is Mickey's character, who loves Tinni and his family without being one-sided. In one scene, Mickey is seen crying remembering Tinni who wants to separate from him. He said he would let Tinni go if it would make him happy, but he would not let Tinni go if he didn't know why. What a gentleman. On the other hand, he loves his family so much. He said that he could not live without his family. Family man is every girl's dream right? Moreover, his family is very warm and super kind like Mickey's family.
Me who watched be like, God, can I ask for a partner like Mickey and his family? hahaha
One word for this film, MEANINGFULL!
On the other hand, the comedy of this film is also quite entertaining. Not the typical territorial comedy that only Indians know, but globally. Yes, let's call it that because I really laughed at some comedy scenes like when Mickey was going to pick up Tinni at the airport. He and his family blame each other. Mickey seems to be breaking down Tinni's reasons for wanting to break up with him, and his family's reactions are so hilarious. No one blamed Tinni, all the blame was still on Mickey.
So in conclusion, this film is a complete package because it can combine the values of life (simple) with comedy. Got the romance, got the comedy, got the message!
The chemistry between Ranbir and Shraddha is extraordinary. This is the couple I've been waiting for a collaboration for a long time, and finally! Very cool. Throughout his career, Shraddha has been a match for any actor, including Ranbir Kapoor.
One more thing, as a fan of conventional Bollywood films, this is like a film that melts my longing for conventional Indian films, romance, good views and songs that have good lyrics. I recommend Jaadui song and broken heart song Bhedariya. The sports songs are no less addictive, Show me The Thumka, Tere Pyaar Mein, Pyaar Hota Kayi Baar Hai and my favorite is the song Maine Pi Rakhi Hai.
Only one drawback of this film, namely the boredom I felt at the beginning of the film. When Mickey and Tinni spend time together, it feels sluggish and I have absolutely no idea where this film is going. But on the other hand it's great, right? The story has an unpredictable plot.
Oh yeah, almost forgot! This film has a very interesting cameo. Namely the cast from the director's previous popular films, Kartik Aaryan and Nushrat Baruchcha. I was just as surprised when I saw Salman Khan in Pathaan, even though his cameo had been spilled by the previous film.

Halooo...
Sudah lama rasanya nggak deep talk, tentang apa aja.
Baru-baru ini aku menonton film Bollywood yang sangat menyentuh. Sebagai penggemar berat film film romantis dari India, beberapa tahun terakhir aku kehilangan genre yang paling kusenangi ini. Film-film Bollywood berlabel romantis komedi biasanya hanya menghibur tanpa meninggalkan kesan yang mendalam. Di era modern, harus kuakui bahwa warna film romantis Bollywood berubah 180 derajat. Yang tadinya menjunjung tinggi budaya, kini malah kebalikan dan lebih kebarat-baratan. Sebagai penonton dan penikmat film aku harus mengakui bahwa aku menjadi lesu. Ingin meninggalkan industri film tersebut sebagai kesukaan, tapi ya itu tidak akan bisa. Hehe...
Film itu berjudul Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, selanjutnya akan kusebut TJMM. TJMM memiliki arti, Kau Pembohong Aku Licik. Film ini memasangkan dua artis favoritku sekaligus, Yakni Ranbir Kapoor dan Shraddha Kapoor. Yup, keduanya memiliki surnme yang sama namun bukan bersaudara. Film ini disutradarai oleh Luv Ranjan, yang kya sebelumnya kutonton adalah Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety dan De De Pyaar De. Jujur, aku tak pernah berekspektasi kalau TJMM akan sekeren ini dari segi cerita. Su
dah lama aku menantikan film Bollywood yang sebermakna itu.
Oke, aku akan ceritakan...
Film ini dimulai dari Mickey yang menjalankan bisnis rahasia dimana dia membantu orang-orang yang ingin putus dari pasangannya tanpa meninggalkan kesan yang buruk. Mickey bersama teman masa kecilnya, Mannu, menjalankan bisnis tersebut berdua. Suatu hari Mannu meminta bantuan Mickey untuk membuatnya pisah dengan tunangannya. Alih-alih membantu, Mickey malah jatuh cinta dengan teman baiknya Kinchi, Tinni. Mickey terus mengejar Tinni hingga Tinni akhirnya pun jatuh cinta padanya. Sepulangg dari liburan, Tinni diperkenalkan oleh keluarga Mickey. Ini awal masalah dari hubungan Mickey-Tinni yang tidak disadari Mickey. Tinni mulai tidak nyaman dengan perlakuan keluarga Mickey yang sangat mencintainya. Tinni dan Mickey tidak pernah punya waktu berdua, selalu ada keluarga Mickey di weekend mereka.
After that, what happened with that lovers is about an emotional rollercoaster that would make your eyes keep on the screen.
Tahu ga ya kalau film ini seperti biografinya Ranbir Kapoor yang memang family man. Aku berasumsi bahwa ini berkaitn dengan kish cintanya denga sang mantan pacar, Katrina Kaif. Katrina dan Ranbir duluny berpacaran sangat lama. 10 tahun, mungkin. Mereka jatuh cinta sejak bekerja sama di film Azab Ki Ghazab Prem. Jika kalian melihat video lawas mereka, kau akan menemukan bahwa Ranbir terlihat penuh senyum ketika bersama Katrina. Rumornya, ibu Ranbir tidak merestui sehingga mereka harus putus, tepat setelah Katrina menghadiri cara keluarga RK beberapa kali, jadi aku berasums bahwa penyebab berakhirnya hubungan mereka karena Ranbir tidak ingin pisah dari keluarganya, persis seperti di film TJMM ini.
Tapi Ranbir sudah menepis anggapan ini. Sepertinya Ranbir tahu apa yang kita pikirin ya? Hahahaha
Bagaimana menurut kalian?
Mungkin banyak yang tidak akan menyadari bahwa karakter Tinni dalam film ini mewakili para independent woman, dimana selama hidupnya tidaak bergantung kepada siapapun dan merasa tidak nyaman jika ada orang lain yang mencampuri hidupnya, meskipun itu keluargany sendiri.
Itu tergambar jelas saat pernikahan Mannu, dimana Tinni belum berbicara apapun tentang hubungannya dengan Mickey, padahal di sisi Mickey, Tinni sudah diperkenalkan dan beberapa kali terlibat dalam acara keluarga.
Indikasi keduanya ketika Tinni tidak nyaman dengan perlakuan keluarga Mickey yang menurutnya terlalu jauh mencmpuri hubungannya dengan Mickey, tidak nyaman dengan limpahan kasih sayang yang diberikan keluarga Mickey sehingga di tengah cerita dia memutuskan untuk mengakhiri hubungannya. Dia merelakan orang yang dicintainya demi kebebasan memilih dan menentukan sendiri hidupnya.
Karakter lain yang sama mengagumkannya adalah karakter Mickey yang sangat mencintai Tinni dan keluarganya tanpa timpang sebelah. Pada satu adegan, Mickey terlihat menangis mengingat Tinni yang ingin berpisah darinya. Dia berujar bahwa dia akan melepaskan Tinni jika memang itu akan membuatnya bahagia, namun dia tidak akan melepaskan Tinni jika dia tidak tahu alasannya. What a gentleman. Di sisi lain, dia begitu mencintai keluarganya. Dia berkata bahwa dia tidak bisa hidup tanpa keluarganya. Family man adalah impian setiap gadis bukan? Apalagi keluaraganya sangat hangat dan super baik seperti keluarga Mickey.
Aku yang menonton be like, Tuhan, boleh nggak minta jodoh seperti Mickey dan keluarganya? Hahahaa
Satu kata untuk film ini, MEANINGFULL!
Di sisi lain, komedi film ini juga cukup menghibur. Bukan tipikal komedi teritori yang hanya orang india aja yang tahu, tapi secara global. Ya sebut saja begitu karena aku benar benar tertawa di beberapa scene komedi seperti ketika Mickey akan menjemput Tinni di Bandara. Dia dan keluarganya pun saling menyalahkan. Mickey seperti melakukan breakdown alasan-alasan Tinni yang ingin putus darinya, dan reaksi keluarganya begitu sangat lucu. Tidak ada yang menyalahkan Tinni, semua kesalahan tetap dibebankan kepada Mickey.
Jadi kesimpulanku, film ini paket komplit karena dapat menggabungkan nilai kehidupan ( dengan sederhana) dengan komedi. Romance-nya dapet, Komedinya dapet, pesannya pun dapet!
Kemistri antara Ranbir dan Shraddha ini sangat luar biasa. Ini adalah pasangan yang sangat kutunggu tunggu kolaborasinya sejak lama, dan petjah! Keren sekali. Sepanjang karirnya, Shraddha memang cocok di pasangkan oleh actor manapun, termasuk Ranbir Kapoor.
Satu lagi, sebagai penggemar film film Bollywood konvensional, ini seperti film yang meleburkan rasa rinduku atas film-film india konvensional, romantis, pemandangan bagus dan lagu lagu yang memiliki lirik yang bagus. Aku rekomendasikan lagu Jaadui dan lagu patah hatinya, Bhedariya. Lagu untuk olahraganya juga tak kalah candu, Show me The Thumka, Tere Pyaar Mein, Pyaar Hota Kayi Baar Hai dan favoritku adalah lagu Maine Pi Rakhi Hai.
Hanya satu kekurangan film ini, yaitu rasa bosan yang kurasakan diawal film. Di saat Mickey dan Tinni menghabiskan waktu bersama, ini terasa lamban dan aku sama sekali tidak bisa menebak kemana arah film ini berjalan. Tapi di sisi lain itu bagus, kan? Ceritany memiliki plot yang unpredictable.
Ah ya, hampir lupa! Film ini memiliki cameo yang sangat menarik. Yaitu cast dari film popular sang sutradara sebelumnya, Kartik Aaryan dan Nushrat Baruchcha. Aku sama kagetnya ketika melihat Salman Khan di Pathaan, padahal cameo-nya sudah di spill oleh pihak film sebelumnya.
