Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde Provides Laughter and Life Lesson

Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde is an independent film written, produced, and directed by Dr. Ravindra Godse-who also starred in the movie. To watch the movie is to get a glimpse into the life of a man at a creative crossroads in his life. It is funny and quirky with a solid life lesson.

The plot of the movie is simple. A successful physician finds himself in the midst of a full-blown midlife crisis. Don't worry, parents, he doesn't turn to little red sports cars, drugs, or buxom blondes. His new passion is filmmaking.

He is driven to, as the opening theme proclaims, making a groovy movie. His family is inconvenienced, his associates avoid him, and his finances are diminished. There are plenty of jokes-ones that everyone will get and some that may be a bit over some folks' heads. It's a fast-paced movie. There were times when it became necessary to stop the DVD and replay a scene because we were still recovering from the previous punch-line.

Dr. Ravi's goal was to make a movie. His message was to do what you love-"...there is no shame in doing a thing as long as you do it honestly."
