Ek Nari Do Roop review :
A Shatrughan Sinha production; Ek Nari Do Roop is a crime thriller loosely inspired from James Hadley Chase novel 'The Wary Transgressor'.
Shatrughan aka Shotgun Sinha plays a local guide who catches the eye of a rich married lady (Rashmi Dhawan) and both end up having a torrid affair. Rashmi then invites Shotgun to her home in Uran (near Mumbai) to work as a caretaker of her paralysed husband (Iftekar). They continue their secret affair until one day, Rashmi discloses her sinister plan of bumping off her handicapped hubby and seeks help from Shatru to do the needful. In the meanwhile, her step daughter Asha Sachdev enters the picture and Shotgun falls in love with her...
The story and screenplay were quite unique and bold for the early '70s which may have been one of the reasons why the audience outright rejected the film. A young Shotgun showed sparks of his swag which led to his future stardom. Radhika got a plum role and nailed it. It remains her memorable act ever. The sexy Asha Sachdev had a small role in the second half of the film yet she left her mark.
To sum up, Ek Nari Do Roop has its thrilling moments and deserves a dekho even today. Shotgun fans cant afford to miss it!!
