I love this movie so much I am buying copies for all my friends and family. John Abraham is such fun to watch in this beautiful film!! The music is especially nice, with brilliant choreography.I love the inclusion of all kinds of people in the cast. This is true life in London, but it is too-seldom seen in films. I believed that all of these people were friends, and the way they interacted with each other was very genuine, and very supportive of one another. Beautiful.I love that I was not sure what was going to happen next. I thought I knew, but I was mostly wrong. It holds your interest and the climax at the end was fantastic! Very scary. I won't spoil the ending for you, though.John Abraham is the greatest actor and talent I've seen. I wish he were better known here in America because he sets such a good example. But whether or not that happens, he is a brilliant and good man and I thank him for his wonderful works and his loving heart. He makes "Jhootha Hi Sahi" a complete joy to watch.

Abbas Tyrewala's 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' was a refreshingly entertaining film, that despite the normal clichés held your interest.Sadly, 'Jhootha Hi Sahi' lacks soul. Written by Abbas's, Pakhi, this romantic-comedy begins well and offers a few interesting moments, but is mainly, as mentioned, soulless.'Jhootha Hi Sahi' tells the story of a suicidal woman, whose "final" call mistakenly connects her to a man who gives her something to live for.As interesting the idea is, the writing is a mess, especially in the second hour. To be honest, the protagonist, played by John Abraham is an interesting character, but the female protagonist played by Pakhi her-self, comes across confused. Also, the characters who play John's friends, have been given too much importance. And the character of Pakhi's ex, played by Madhavan, is completely wasted! Pakhi's writing is flawed. Thus, Abbas Tyrewala's direction hardly leaves a mark. Cinematography is fine. Music by the legendary A. R. Rahman is super, as always and helps elevate the film.Performance-Wise: John delivers a sincere performance. Pakhi Tyrewala's character, which she has penned her-self, lets her down. Raghu Ram is convincing. Madhavan is wasted. Others lend average support.On the whole, though it offers an interesting premise, great music and manages to bring in a sincere performance from it's lead star, this romantic-comedy still remains soul-less. Watch it, if you must!

Technically the movie is very good, especially the screenplay is very good and the performance of Jhon, Pakhi & Raghu is nice as well. Due to this two reason I like this movie. The idea of this romantic story is a new experiment in Hindi movie, which is not acceptable by a big majority of people also the music was not so effective its unbelievable that AR Rahman has given such music.The comedy and romantic scenes were nice and people enjoyed it, the co-stars has done their job well and comedy timings was good.Pakhi as and actress was very good at her role and she looked so fresh, John was good as well in his comic and romantic role. The film didn't run well on box-office due to the new concept of romance and the frequent use of English in the dialogs. I observed that the best part people couldn't enjoyed due to the language problem. Perhaps next time this should be taken care..

Definitely worth the watch....i was reluctant to watch it since some of the reviews were quite bad, but the Mrs is a big John fan, so had to watch it and I actually didn't at any time get distracted and felt the need to play on my iPhone or anything. It is certainly much better than some of the asinine movies coming out of Bollywood ( here looking at you Akshay Kumar who makes way too many movies and whose last few movies were barely watchable,oh god , Khatha Metha made me feel like killing myself for wasting 2 hrs of my life!).John does a good job ( much better than I would have expected and the director has been smart by having a good ensemble built up around him of actors who complement him and keep the momentum going. Only negative is that the script could have probably done with a little more tweaking, but nevertheless a good effort and something different from Bollywood. Would definitely recommend this....
