Plot

Sameer Mehra, an ad agency executive, runs into a group of retired law professionals. He takes shelter at their house due to extreme weather. Sameer soon gets involved in a dangerous game of mock trial where he plays the accused along with Acharya, the judge, Bhullar, the defence lawyer, and Latif, the public prosecutor. As details about his personal and professional life get revealed, Sameer finds himself stuck in the situation without any escape. The movie is in the form of a courtroom drama. It deals with the decisions one makes in their lifetime and how every decision has consequences.

Star Performance

The lead actors have put forward remarkable performances. The chemistry between Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi is good.

Analysis

Chehre sheds light on the state of criminal justice in India. The idea is interesting, but the execution falls short. It starts on an exciting note but goes downhill due to poor writing. It has some visually stunning scenes showcasing the beauty of the hillsides of India. It has an engaging feel, but the script makes viewers lose interest. The movie has unnecessary rants about injustice in society. The plot twists are often too predictable.

What’s There?

Beautiful portrayal of hillside scenery
Good acting and performance by actors

What’s Not There?

poor script
long runtime
Unnecessary monologue

Verdict

Chehre had the potential to be a unique mystery thriller, but the poor writing made it boring. The long storyline and predictable plot twists could not keep the viewers hooked. Right when things look exciting, it gets stretched out and loses momentum. With good editing, it could have been a more engaging watch.
