What happens

Sachaa Jhutha (English: "Honest and Liar") is a 1970 Indian Hindi action comedy film directed by Manmohan Desai and produced by Vinod Doshi. The film stars Rajesh Khanna in dual roles, alongside Mumtaz and Vinod Khanna in lead roles. It revolves around a simple villager with a lookalike — a crook who takes advantage of the former's simplicity and mirror-image. The story was written by Desai's wife Jeevanprabha. The music of the film is composed by Kalyanji-Anandji and is edited by Kamlakar Kamkhanis. The film was the second highest grosser of the year and was declared a super hit. The performance of Rajesh Khanna was critically acclaimed and he won the Filmfare Best Actor Award for 1971. Being a box office blockbuster, it is counted among the 17 consecutive hit films of Rajesh Khanna between 1969 and 1971, by adding the two-hero films Marayada and Andaz to the 15 consecutive solo hits he gave from 1969 to 1971.
