Tu Jhooti Mein Makkaar is a new romance-comedy film directed by Luv Ranjan which stars Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor. Ranjan is not new to this genre in fact he has delivered time and again with such genre films that have done extremely well at the box office. With films like Pyaar ka Punchnama, Pyaar ka Punchnama 2, Akaash Vani and Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety. Despite the films being successful, one criticism that the filmmaker has often faced is what his films propagate. His views on women have always been harsh and negative, always portraying them as evil, malicious and gold diggers. Well, the talented filmmaker has returned with a new movie after almost five years. Given his prowess in the genre and the addition of Ranbir and Shraddha a hit verdict seems guaranteed but these are strange times and no one can guarantee which film would work and which won’t.
Will Tu Jhooti Mein Makkaar Be In Ranbir’s Top 10?
In normal circumstances, a film like Tu Jhooti Mein Makkaar would have definitely earned 15+ crores, although due to skeptical environment around movies the projected box office opening for the film is around 11-12 crores. This estimate is based on the pre-release box office buzz which is quite a bit given that it is Luv Ranjan film and a rom-com from Bollywood is a rare site given the market scenario. Ranbir Kapoor is back to his most comfortable genre and after the debacle that was Saaho Shraddha Kapoor has returned to the big screen.
Apart from this the music of the movie is doing quite well in generating buzz about the movie in general audiences. Of course, the figures will get clearer once advance booking reports come in. Ranbir’s films haven’t done quite well post pandemic with Shamshera bombing horribly and Brahmastra (418 crores) failing to keep up with its insane budget of 400 crores+. Even though it appears that the film collected enough to earn its budget back you might want to divide the final figure by 2 to see the exhibitor’s (theatre owner) share in it.
Although, the film would’ve earned a huge amount of money by selling its OTT rights to Disney+ Hotstar. Regardless, Tu Jhooti Mein Makkaar seems like a safer bet and even though it is opening on a low note it is still able to crack in Ranbir Kapoor’s highest opening films’ list. Take a look at the complete list below:
- Brahmastra – 37 crores (including 5 crores from south dubbed versions)
- Sanju – 34.74 crores
- Besharam – 21.56 crores
- Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani – 19.45 crores
- Ae Dil Hai Mushkil – 13.30 crores
- Rockstar – 11 crores
- Tamasha – 10.87 crores
- Raajneeti – 10.50 crores
- Roy – 10.40 crores
- Shamshera – 10.25 crores
Tu Jhooti Mein Makkaar will release in theatres near you on 10th March 2023.
