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] The film was produced under Bhagavathi Productions. It had a very successful soundtrack composed by Upendra Kumar.

Rajkumar plays dual role in this movie. Strangely, it is usually not considered among the movies in which he played a dual role because the 2nd character (that of a taxi driver) appears at the 52nd minute into the movie and dies at the 57th minute. However, the death of the second character is a necessary plot twist in the movie as after his death the lead character Mohan assumes the identity of the deceased character - Ramanna and moves into his house in order to create a false notion that Ramanna is still alive and thereby help the police identify the murderers of Ramanna and solve a burglary case also.^[2]
