Kyo Kii... Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta () rarely abbreviated as KMJNB is a 2001 Indian Hindi-language fantasy comedy film directed by David Dhawan, starring Govinda, Sushmita Sen, Rambha, Anupam Kher, Satish Kaushik, Mohnish Bahl, and Ashish Vidyarthi. It is unofficial remake of the American film Liar Liar (1997) starring Jim Carrey. This was later remade into a Telugu film as Mayagadu.
Plot Raj, a small-town lawyer, travels to Mumbai to make his fortune. He moves in with his friend Mohan, who has lived in the city for a decade without finding success. Tejpal is the city's most successful lawyer, and his elder daughter is married to Adarsh, another lawyer who rose from poverty to wealth almost overnight. Hoping to replicate Adarsh's success, Raj charms and seduces Tejpal's younger daughter, Sonam, and marries her. However, Sonam refuses to live on her father's money and makes Raj return to Mohan's house, where they begin married life.
Forced to rebuild his career, Raj takes on the defence of Kalra's brother, who is accused of murder. After securing his acquittal, Raj gains lucrative opportunities and begins working exclusively for the underworld. He also has an affair with Kalra's secretary, Tara. Seven years later, Raj has become wealthy and successful, surpassing Tejpal.
When Kalra's brother is accused of another murder, Raj acts as prosecutor. He secretly assures Kalra that he will deliberately lose the case, allowing his brother to escape conviction. Sonam overhears him and, disgusted by his dishonesty, leaves Raj, taking their seven-year-old son with her. That night, their son prays that his parents will not divorce and that Raj will stop lying. His wish is miraculously granted, leaving Raj unable to lie despite his attempts.
Raj's newfound honesty rapidly destroys his personal and professional life. Sonam files for divorce, Tara leaves him, and Kalra becomes angry when Raj questions the credibility of their false witnesses. Raj flees, but discovers evidence proving that Kalra and his brother committed the murder. By nightfall, his son reverses his wish, restoring Raj's ability to lie, but Raj has become determined to uphold the truth.
In court, Raj presents the evidence and proves Kalra and his brother's guilt. They are convicted, and Raj reconciles with Sonam, who is pleased that he has returned to his honest ways.
