Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar is a new Bollywood movie starring Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor.The advance booking for the movie started on Sunday, five days before its release, and the early indications suggest that the film will open on a positive note.
This comes as a relief to the struggling Indian film industry, as none of the Hindi movies released so far in 2023 have done well, except for Pathaan.
Industry insiders are hopeful that Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar will reverse this trend and provide some respite to the industry.
The movie has already sold 30,000 tickets across India, grossing over Rs 1 crore in advance bookings for all days.On the opening day, the advance booking gross alone is Rs 68 lakh, with almost 22,000 tickets sold.
Based on the current trend, trade analysts predict that the movie will open at Rs 15 crore, making it the fifth-highest-opening Hindi movie post-pandemic, ahead of hits like Gangubai Kathiawadi.The pre-sales indicate that the movie will perform better than expected.
Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar is a romantic comedy that features Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor as the lead actors.The movie also stars Dimple Kapadia and marks the acting debut of filmmaker Boney Kapoor and comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi.
The movie is set to release on March 8, which is the day of Holi, and will be shown in theaters across the country.
In a recent interview when Shraddha Kapoor was asked about her experience of working with Ranbir for the first time, she stated that Ranbir and the director Luv were very clever as she felt that they would plan scenes without her.She also added that although Ranbir was quiet and composed on set, he would perform excellently between cut and action, making her believe that he had rehearsed the dialogues beforehand.
