Satyam Shivam Sundaram (meaning, "Truth is God and God is beautiful") is a 1978, Raj Kapoor-directed film starring Shashi Kapoor and Zeenat Aman. The story is based on the persona of Lata Mangeshkar who then was not pretty in terms of facial beauty but had other unparalleled quality, the divine voice. Whereas the message was noble Raj Kapoor filmed certain scenes which were supposedly against the ethos of Indian culture. As a result the film became famous for its songs but not otherwise. The film had to face a stiff battle in getting past the Indian Film Censor Board for some of its risque scenes. The film did average business. .
