No wonder dirt is cheap when it comes to Luv Ranjan You are a liar, I am a liar, The characters love their own voice (the louder the better). At the slightest provocation, they go boating. He is given little breathing space between one long-winded monologue and the next. More slapstick than comedy, more chaos than fun, more fun than romance – this is it You are a liar, I am a liarBollywood’s Holi and International Women’s Day releases, if one has the energy to work out the film’s endless conundrums and contradictions, it adds up.
You are a liar, I am a liar Starts as a cut-price Life will not happen again, It ends in Rajshree Films and Dharma Productions locality. The film tries to make up with heaps of verbiage what it lacks in depth. Before long, the male protagonist, played with misplaced enthusiasm by Ranbir Kapoor, begins to see the sheer futility of it all. All the drama happened without talking, he wonders out loud. He’s having a blast. You are a liar, I am a liar Really a lot of hollow hue and cry about nothing.
If director and co-screenwriter Luv Ranjan’s intention is to show us how tangled up modern relationships can be when hearts collide with minds, his film achieves that end with some effort. This shameless chatter-fest is as big as any life can be.
Ranbir Kapoor, who feels like an amalgamation of his characters in ANajana Anjani,pageant And Crazy youthfulness, has the rare skill to capitalize on the silences that punctuate his incessant chatter. However, such moments are few and far between. Plus, the actor’s chemistry with equally spirited co-star Shraddha Kapoor is strictly serviceable. Try as they might, they are unable to breathe life into a love story in which the knots are not good for him.
The leads seem to be having a lot of fun, romancing on the beaches of Spain before a more serious matter catches up with them and throws their whirlwind love affair into disarray, even as the film forgets that the audience may also need a story that is more than skin deep. A handsome shirtless hero and a beautiful heroine in a two-piece bikini quickly wears out its limited appeal.
Rahul Modi and Luv Ranjan’s screenplay aims to make amends for the startlingly sexist rom-coms that the director habitually foists on us. In You are a liar, I am a liar, Love at first sight does not mean that the girl forgets her goals and subordinates herself to the man in her life. But this is not atonement enough – the heroine is not spared the humiliation of being constantly objectified until the film reaches its halfway point.
The boy is the requester here. He is madly in love and begging for revenge. When he goes out with his girlfriend, his whole family goes without your permission. For the heroine, a woman who values her space more than anything in the world, it is best to avoid the crowd. It needed a better film than this to articulate its concerns and aspirations.
You are a liar, I am a liar Ridicules established notions of dating and romance and examines the consequences of the conflict between family and freedom, between casual flings and lifelong loyalty, between a girl living under the same roof as her extended brother. And a boy for whom filmy bond matters as much as love. The film churns out a lot of froth in the bargain.
When he’s not looking after his family’s car dealership, Rohan Mickey Arora (Ranbir Kapoor) teams up with his best friend Mannu Dabas (stand-up comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi in his acting debut) as a “break- up” service. With an enviable strike rate, two friends help young couples end their relationships, guilt-free and without heartburn.
On a trip to Spain for Mannu’s bachelor party, Mickey falls in love at first sight with Nisha Tinni Malhotra (Shraddha Kapoor), who is there for his best friend Kinchi (Monica Chowdhary), the girl Mannu ready to marry. Confusion ensues as Mickey labors to figure out whether Tinny is in for the long haul or just a quick, non-committal relationship.
Before the boy can say I love you with any degree of confidence, the possibility of a break-up looms large over the relationship. Mickey is in a bind – hired by Tinny to bring him back. More confusion, more chatter, more hemming and hag – You are a liar, I am a liar This goes on until the Delhi airport free-for-all injects a dose of passive hilarity into the climactic film.
As you can guess, Mickey’s Delhi Punjabi family is a quarrelsome family. His mother (Dimple Kapadia) is a slapstick woman who is upset and troubled by the losses the family business has suffered. His father (Boney Kapoor) has no say in anything that happens in the house, except when he is gripped by the urge to rustle up food for the family.
Mickey’s elder sister (Hasleen Kaur), his precocious niece (Inayat Verma) and his talkative grandmother (Jatinder Kaur) add to the tumult that surrounds him. Mickey loves them all.
In the case of Tinny, the story is completely different. Her family of chartered accountants is comparatively sedate, but the girl has chosen to move away to protect her independence. more than a battle of the sexes,You are a liar, I am a liar There is an all-out war between the two worldviews.
The first half of the film is a disturbing blur. The second one is very less. After interval,You are a liar, I am a liar Luv features two random, unfunny cameos for Ranjan’s favorite lead pair, Kartik Aaryan and Nushrat Bharucha. They appear as separate testing devices, one to arouse jealousy in the protagonist, the other to assess his loyalty.
You are a liar, I am a liar A 30-year-old man and a 27-year-old girl alternate between outright nonsense and billowy bluster as one heavy season of a relationship begins on a fiery note and ends in unbridled childishness.
It’s not that actors do nineteen to a dozen things. They shout and hector without knowing. Even Dimple Kapadia is forced to fully display her lung power as a headstrong matron. Ranbir Kapoor, when he can shake off the ubiquitous frivolity, is the only saving grace of a film that is more empty chatter than actual matter.
