The make-up used for the devilish persona of the protagonist is though not bad, is nowhere near to being something admirable.
#CHEHRA TV SERIAL FULL STORY MOVIE#
This movie was made (and publicized) as a horror movie which was not at all required because there is no horror in it. The problem that has always remained with the Bollywood filmmakers is that despite picking up good subject-matters, they fall into the trap of regular box office formulae instead of dealing with the plot at hand in the best possible way. Daisy (Rekha), Diana (Sulakshana Pandit), David (Vinod Mehra), Peter (Amol Palekar), Barrister Sinha (Shatrughan Sinha), Maartha (Rajni Sharma), Kanhus (Amjad Khan) etc. Wilson, there are several other characters also which are for all practical purposes, supporting ones only, viz. Wilson loses his life, repenting for trying to interfere with the nature. After several events in the screenplay, Dr. Jekyll in the classic work of Robert Louis Stevenson, Blackstone (the wicked part of the personality) becomes to Dr. His wicked persona gets segregated from the good one but it is stronger than its counterpart and he is not able to eliminate it. But the result is quite contrary to what he had theorized. The trouble comes when he experiments his invention on himself only. He works hard on his theory and remains busy in inventing a potion to put his theory into effect. He firmly believes that these two elements which remain intermixed in an individual's personality can be segregated and then a medicine can be invented to eliminate the wicked or the undesirable element, thereby leaving only the desirable or the angelic element intact. That's why sometimes, even a good person becomes satanic in his behaviour whereas sometimes, a wicked one also becomes benevolent. Wilson (Sanjeev Kumar) who is a workaholic scientist (all sincere scientists are actually workaholics only) who feels that every human-being has an element of being an angel as well as an element of being a devil in him. The only Bollywood movie which is a straightaway (and officially declared) adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde story is Chehre Pe Chehra (1980) starring Sanjeev Kumar (in the lead role), Rekha, Sulakshana Pandit, Shatrughan Sinha, Vinod Mehra, Amol Palekar etc.Ĭhehre Pe Chehra (a face over a face) tells the story of Dr. However they were the stories based on split personalities (real or fake) and not the original story of Dr. In India also, certain movies have been made on this concept viz. When the same person acts morally in one situation and immorally in some other, he is termed as Jekyll in the former and Hyde in the latter. Besides, as the novella showed one personality (which came into existence later than the first or the original one) is low in morals as compared to the other one, later on the phrase - 'Jekyll and Hyde' became almost a maxim to denote a person's ethically contrasting activities in different situations.
It's a story based on the split personality disorder of a person, i.e., the state in which two different personalities reside in the same person out of which one remains active at a particular point of time and the person continues to switch over between them.
This classic story was adapted for theatre play and TV serial too.
Hyde was first published in 1886 on which Hollywood movies were made under the title - Dr. Famous Scottish author - Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novella - Strange Case of Dr.
