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 written by Desai's wife Jeevanprabha, was edited by Kamlakar Kamkhanis. The film starring Rajesh Khanna, Mumtaz, Vinod Khanna revolves around a simple villager (Bhola), who has a lookalike, a crook (Ranjeet Kumar), who takes advantage of the former's simplicity and mirror-image (both the roles of Bhola and Ranjeet Kumar were played by Rajesh Khanna).[2] The music of the film was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.
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.[3] 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.[4]
