Mithya .... meaning "a lie" is not a typical bollywood potbolier , it breaks the cliche' to the hilt.The team of Bheja Fry collaborate for the most unexpected ride of 2008 ,with Rajat Kapoor in the thick of things behind the camera.
Ranvir Shorey , plays a struggling actor frustrated with the knick - knacks of bollywood world. Unexpected events at a night out in mumbai street , creates a storm in the life of VK (Ranvir) .
The story is a maze of events involving the two underworld gangs and VK is in this muddle. Naseerudin Shah , Saurabh Shukla , Vinay Pathak , and many more are the pawns of a Chess Game and someone is surely checkmated!!!!
The script by Rajat and Saurabh Shukla is well-written and reminds us of Ramu' s Satya and yesteryear's Don. The performance by Shorey is once again superlative , he is definitely the king of off-beat cinema in India!
Neha Dhupia is just ok , and the supporting cast gives much needed impetus to the story!
Watch this film for Ranvir only and the unconventional story-telling .
Rating : 3.5/5.0

Though some of my friends didn't like it (the checkmate part) but I found it good .. as u said, ranvir's acting skills are the high point..
actually we had a play (C for Clown) with ranvir, vinay pathak and rajat kapoor (directed by rajat kapoor) being played near my college..
Though I didn't get the tickets but I had the privilege to have Rajat Kapoor standing alongside me, asking for tickets for some of his friends :)
some of my friends who got tickets said the play was superrrbb!
