Plot

Rajveer Choudhary, played by Sanjay Kapoor, shows up at the Pinto residence to check out the case. He finds out that Albert's friends and family all have reasons to want him gone. Apparently, Albert left behind a hefty sum of 35 crore in cryptocurrency, catching the eye of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), with Officer Shashi, played by Simran Kaur Suri, getting involved too. But as they question the suspects, the story behind Albert's death becomes more confusing.[5]

Reception

Archika Khurana from The Times of India rated 2/5 stars and shared her review "House of Lies offers nothing new. If anything, it bores you and makes you smirk at places where it tries, and fails, to keep you glued to the whodunnit thriller. The film's premise isn't unfamiliar, but its execution and predictable plot ruin the entire experience."[6]

Pushpangi Raina from Outlook Magazine rated the film 2/5 stars.[7]

Release

The film was officially released on 31 May 2024.[4]
