What happens

Teen Cheharey (Hindi for Three Faces) is a 1979 Indian Hindi-language romantic thriller film directed by Y. N. Kapoor and produced by Deepak Kapoor and S. A. Patel for Viral Movies. Starring Anjana Mumtaz as a woman betrayed in love who seeks wealth and vengeance by killing her three betrayers, the film also features Sujit Kumar as the investigating officer who becomes romantically involved with her. Supporting cast includes Jayshree T., Meena T., Raviraaj, Ravindra Mahajani, Nana Palsikar and Pran in a special appearance. The film weaves together elements of emotional family drama with those of a suspenseful thriller with music composed by Shyam Ghanshyam. Teen Cheharey marked the second time director Y. N. Kapoor worked with male lead Sujit Kumar who was widely regarded as the first superstar of Bhojpuri films. Scholarly work on Hindi and Bhojpuri cinema, such as Kathryn Hardy's analysis, stresses the “porous boundaries” between the two cinemas arising because of notable overlaps in audience and production infrastructures, countering views of the industries as entirely distinct. This crossover illustrates how a Bhojpuri star like Kumar could drive commercial success in Hindi films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
