Though Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar is not on a par with Brahmastra’s Rs.120.75 cr on its opening weekend, nor Luv Ranjan’s Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety third day performance, it has done better than most other recent Bollywood releases. It’s already surpassed the lifetime collections of Akshay Kumar’s Selfiee (Rs 16.60 cr) and Kartik Aaryan’s Shehzada (Rs 32 cr), plus performed better than Ranbir Kapoor’s romantic drama Ae Dil Hai Mushkil – starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma – which had a festive release to the tune of Rs 35.60 cr in its first three days.

Film critics found the film to be boring, which may work against it going forward. In her review, she wrote, “The writers of Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar clearly didn’t get the memo that brevity is the soul of wit: the film drags on for two hours before it comes to the last twenty minutes when the pace picks up.”
