In
one
of
the
scenes
which
is
supposed
to
be
a
hilarous
one,
Rajesh
Sharma
asks
Rishi
Kapoor,
'Didi
ki
muskaan
achhi
nahi
lagi
aapko
kabhi?' To
which,
the
latter
replies,
'Jahan
inke
dimple
padte
hai
na,
teri
didi
ke
wahan
pimple
rehte
the.'
Well,
'Jhoota
Kahin
Ka'
has
many
such
bland
liners
which
are
served
to
you
in
the
name
of
comedy.
Jumping
straight
into
the
plot,
the
film
opens
in
Punjab
where
we
are
introduced
to
Yograj
Singh
(Rishi
Kapoor)
who
wants
his
Mauritius-returned
son
Varun
(Omkar
Kapoor)
to
join
their
family
profession.
However,
the
young
lad
is
least
interested
and
flies
back
to
Mauritius
to
join
his
close
buddy
Karan
(Sunny
Singh)
in
hunt
of
a
job.
There,
he
bumps
into
a
girl
Riya
(Nimisha
Mehta)
at
a
wedding.
Few
scenes
and
a
song
later,
the
two
end
up
tying
the
knot.
Having
lied
to
Riya's
family
that
he
doesn't
have
a
family
of
his
own,
he
moves
in
with
them
(Manoj
Joshi
and
Lilette
Dubey).
On
the
other
hand,
Karan
is
constantly
heckled
by
his
girlfriend
Sonam
(Rucha
Vaidya)
to
get
married,
but
the
boy
is
waiting
to
get
a
go-ahead
from
his
brother
Tommy
(Jimmy
Sheirgill)
who
is
in
the
prison.
Karan
and
Varun
are
forced
to
swap
identities
when
Yograj
Singh
decides
to
move
to
Mauritius
to
be
close
to
his
son
and
ends
up
renting
the
bungalow
next
door
which
is
owned
by
Varun's
in-laws.
The
rest
of
the
plot
revolves
around
how
the
two
boys
end
up
getting
caught
in
the
web
of
their
own
lies.
'Jhooth
Kahin
Ka' is
a
remake
of
director
Smeep
Kang's
own
Punjabi
hit,
'Carry
On
Jatta'.
But
when
it
comes
to
his
latest
offering,
he
falls
flat
in
holding
your
attention
for
over
two
hours.
The
screenplay
is
bland.
The
jokes
get
repetitive
after
a
point
and
the
romance
too
becomes
stale.
Random
songs
are
inserted
at
places
which
merely
adds
to
the
screen-time.
It
feels
good
to
see
Rishi
Kapoor
at
his
energetic
best
and
honestly,
he
is
the
reason
why
we
keep
ourselves
invested
in
Jhootha
Kahin
Ka.
Sunny
Singh
still
has
the
hangover
of
the
'Punchnama'
series.
Meanwhile,
Omkar
Kapoor
goes
a
little
hard
on
his
expressions.
The
girls,
Nimisha
Mehta
and
Rucha
Vaidya
have
very
little
scope
to
perform.
Jimmy
Sheirgill
ends
up
with
well,
one
more
'criminal'
act.
Manoj
Joshi
hams
too
much,
but
still
manages
to
evoke
some
laughs.
Smeep
Kang
tries
to
add
some
humor
by
character-shaming
Lilette
Dubey's
role.
So
not
cool!
Himanshu
Sharma
acts
his
part
well.
Akashdeep
Pandey's
cinematography
falters
when
it
comes
to
capturing
the
beauty
of
Mauritius.
Ashfaque
Makrani's
editing
is
chopping
and
the
music
scores
low.
The
background
score
is
annoying.
Smeep
Kang's
comedy
of
errors
lack
the
comic
punches
to
make
you
go
haha
all
the
way.
Watch
'Jhootha
Kahin
Ka'
only
if
loud
humour
appeals
to
your
taste.
The
rest
can
easily
give
this
one
a
miss.
I
am
going
with
2
stars.
