Paropakari (Kannada: ಪರೋಪಕಾರಿ) is a 1970 Indian Kannada language romantic drama film written and directed by Y. R. Swamy. It stars Rajkumar and Jayanthi in the lead roles.[1] It revolves around the story of a self respecting young man who wins a wager with his wealthy father. The film was produced under Bhagavathi Productions. It had a very successful soundtrack composed by Upendra Kumar.
Rajkumar plays a dual role in the movie. However, this movie is not considered as a movie with double role since the second character appears only for thirty seconds on-screen in spite of it being an important plot twist.[2]
Mohan, played by Dr Rajkumar, leaves his father's home after betting that he would return home after one year, after earning Rs 25,000 by legal means. He meets Shami, played by Jayanti, a runaway orphan, on the way. The two start living together, but face several hurdles like Mohan being accused of a murder. He earns the money, only to decide to spend it on the cancer treatment of his teacher. Mohan survives an attempt on his life by his cousin. Mohan returns ot his father, along with Shami in the end.
