David Dhawan and
Govinda team up yet again, this time for Jeetendra's KYO KII?
MAIN JHUTH NAHIN BOLTA, which is produced by Shobha Kapoor and
Ekta Kapoor.
Inspired by director Tom Shadyac's 1997 hit LIAR LIAR, which
starred Jim Carrey in the lead, KYO KII? MAIN JHUTH NAHIN BOLTA
was initially titled SAJAN RE JHOOTH MAT BOLO.
KYO KII? MAIN JHUTH NAHIN BOLTA stars Govinda, Sushmita Sen,
Rambha,
Sharad Kapoor, Satish Kaushik and Anupam Kher in key roles.
The story:
Raj Malhotra (Govinda) is a lawyer from a small district who
dreams of practicing law in the Mumbai High Court. To fulfil his
dreams, he heads straight for the city where dreams turn into
reality -- Mumbai.
Once in Mumbai, he
realises that it is difficult for small-town lawyers to establish
themselves as people in this city are judged according to their
status, not by the talent they possess. He realises that he needs to
have a godfather to make it big in the city.
At the court one day, Raj comes across noted lawyer Tejpal
(Anupam Kher) and is impressed by him. On seeing Tejpal's
son-in-law Adarsh's (Sharad Kapoor) comforts, Raj feels
jealous.
At this stage, Pyare Mohan (Satish Kaushik), Raj's friend,
enlightens him that Adarsh was also a small-town lawyer like him.
He started working with Tejpal, wooed Tejpal's elder daughter and
ultimately the two got married. Once married, everything Tejpal
owned was taken over by Adarsh.
Inspired by Adarsh's story of rags to riches, Raj also starts
planning and plotting in order to achieve his goals. He
pursues Tejpal's younger daughter Sonal (Sushmita Sen) and gets
married to her. He too eyes Tejpal's enormous wealth, but Sonal
is made of different stuff. She doesn't want to stay with her
father, but moves lock, stock and barrel to the slums where Raj lives.
Raj tries to reason with her, but fails.
In order to
accomplish his dreams, Raj starts working doubly hard,
compromising on his principles at every step. He lies all the
way and within a span of seven years, achieves all that he had
dreamt of.
During this period, Sonal gives birth to a baby boy. However,
Sonal is discontented that Raj has changed drastically. He is no
longer the innocent and honest person she loved, but has become a
liar and a manipulator who would go to any lengths to earn a few
bucks.
A rift occurs between Raj and Sonal and she walks out on him. The
situation moves from bad to worse when Sonal now seeks a divorce.
Observing the tension between his parents, the son gets
concerned. One day, he spots a falling star and wishes that the
father stops lying, so that the parents can get back together.
Miraculously, his wish comes true and Raj loses his ability to
lie. What happens next?
KYO KII? MAIN JHUTH NAHIN BOLTA has music by Anand Raaj Anand.
