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."[2]
