==Summary==<br />
<br />
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.

== Reception ==<br />
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."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/society-the-arts/films/story/19981214-movie-review-jhoot-bole-kauva-kaate-starring-anil-kapoor-amrish-puri-juhi-chawla-827516-1998-12-14|title=Movie review: 'Jhoot Bole Kauva Kaate', starring Anil Kapoor, Amrish Puri, Juhi Chawla|website=India Today}}</ref><br />
