Jhootha Hi Sahi (2010)

Whats it about:
Siddharth accidentally starts getting calls from people with suicidal tendencies. Beyond a point, he himself volunteers to help these people on the phone every night. One such caller, Mishka is very much helped by Sid's talks and Mishka transforms herself. Sid stammers when talking to girls live. But not on the phone.
                  Sid meets Mishka by chance and is bowled over by her. They start dating each other. But Mishka doesn't know that it is Sid who speaks to her on the phone every night. Mishka calls Sid as Fidato on the phone.
                  Sid and Mishka fall in love and Sid also talks to Mishka every night on the phone as Fidato. He helps his love on the phone by talking to her as Fidato. In the meanwhile, Sid breaks up with his girl friend. Mishka's former boyfriend re-enters her life. Finally Mishka comes to know that Sid and Fidato are the same and after a minor split, they re-unite to live happily ever after.

                                                                            
Hits

  • Quite a different plot and the setting is also good. London, an Indian book store etc etc. 
  • The actors who play the hero's friends are all very natural particularly the Pakistani brother sister duo. Their jokes are also enjoyable. 
  • A.R.Rahman's lovely songs
Misses
  • John Abraham though super handsome, is very average. He has been miscast. A Ranbir Kapoor would have rocked this role
  • The heroine looks old and jaded. No chemistry with John. 
  • Maddy in a cameo as the jerky, selfish X-boyfriend is again a misfit. He is too dear to audiences to be made to act in such a small time role. 
VERDICT
Due to the lead actors' lack of chemistry and some bad casting, this movie flopped. Otherwise, it is a decent watch ...
