Katha (English: Story) is a 1983 Indian romantic comedy film directed by Sai Paranjpye[1] starring Farooq Sheikh, Naseeruddin Shah and Deepti Naval in the main roles.

The story is based on S.G. Sathye's Marathi play Sasa Aani Kasav (Hare and Tortoise), which was also adapted into the 1988 movie Mukunthetta Sumitra Vilikkunnu.

Film and music expert Rajesh Subramanian reveals that Kishore Kumar sang Maine tumse kuch nahin manga without a remuneration.

One day Rajaram's smooth-talking, roguish friend Vasudev aka Bashu (Farooque Shaikh) — the hare — comes visiting as a house guest and makes himself at home in the chawl.

He then joins Rajaram's company Footprint Shoes by impressing the owner Mr. Dhindhoria with untrue stories about his work experience in "good ol' England" and his newfound love of golf.

Typically, Bashu soon starts flirting with Dhindhoria's beautiful and young wife Anuradha (Mallika Sarabhai) as well as his daughter Jojo (Winnie Paranjape) by his first marriage, courting both women at the same time.
