'Jhooth Bole Kauwa Kaate' is a 1998 Indian Hindi comedy film directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The film stars Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, Amrish Puri, Reema Lagoo, Anupam Kher and Sajid Khan. The film was the last film of Hrishikesh Mukherjee as director.

Summary



Shankar (Anil Kapoor), an actor of sorts, loves Urmila (Juhi Chawla), but since Urmila is the daughter of a conservative and orthodox retired police officer Abhayankar (Amrish Puri), it'll take a lot for Shankar to win over the Abhayankar family. Shankar then begins to create a series of lies (hence the title, when he lies, the crow caws) in attempting to get the one he loves.

Reception



Nandita Chowdhury of 'India Today' wrote, "'Jhoot Bole Kauva Kaate' has an old world charm but technically and artistically, the film is stuck in the '70s. The dialogues are stilted and Jal Mistry's cinematography often resembles that of a television sitcom."
