Jhootha Hi Sahi (Hindi: झूठा ही सही; "Even if it's a lie/False is True") is a 2010 Indian romantic comedy film co produced and directed by Abbas Tyrewala under the banner of Sa Re Ga Ma. It stars John Abraham, Pakhi Tyrewala, Raghu Ram, Manasi Scott and Alishka Varde in the leads roles. R. Madhavan makes an extended Cameo appearance along with Nandana Sen in a Special appearance. It features a successful score and soundtrack by A. R. Rahman. The film is about a suicidal woman, whose "final" call mistakenly connects her to a man who gives her something to live for.
Siddharth "Sid" (John Abraham) works in a bookstore in London named Kagaz Ke Phool with his Pakistani friend Omar (Raghu Ram). His girlfriend Krutika (Manasi Scott) never leaves a chance to dominate him. The twist comes when Sid starts getting calls from people who are attempting suicide as his number was mistakenly printed on fliers of an Indian suicide helpline and later on he takes on the counselling job.
One night he gets a call from Mishka (Pakhi Tyrewala) who had a bad relationship and is on the verge of taking her life. Sid and Mishka get talking and suicidal feelings are thrown over London's Tower Bridge. They become phone friends and Sid knows who Mishka is when she visits his bookstore. Unaware that Sid aka Fidato is the one who takes up her call and consoles her, she befriends Sid upon Fidato's advice. Then starts the meetings of Sid and Mishka where he impresses her by telling her all the things which she used to tell Fidato. But one fine day, Kabir (ex-boyfriend of Mishka) springs up from no where, and introduces his new girlfriend to Mishka, meanwhile Sid arrives and in their chat, he calls Kabir by his name. This makes Mishka wonder whether Sid and Fidato are same or not. This leads her to go to suicide helpline center and confirm whether Sid is Fidato or not and here she is misled. A neighbor of Mishka is attempting suicide and she calls Fidato immediately. Here she realizes that Fidato and Sid are the same. They get apart. Later on, on the London Bridge they finally end their differences and the film ends on a happy note.
