The first half of the movie was beautifully written - very intriguing and good acting by almost everybody. The climax was so badly made and written that i had to fast forward the climax of a movie which I have never done. The long speech of amitabh bachchan was badly written and out of place. It had no connection to the movie itself.

Fella_shibby4 October 2021The right to privacy is a fundamental right under Article 21 of Indian Constitution.
With the invocation of privacy as a fundamental right under Section 21 of the Indian constitution, the admissibility of illegally obtained evidence should now be questioned.
Cyber crime law states that if an IO confiscates a mobile or laptop, he/she has to check the hash value.
Hash value recorded at the time of seizure has to be the same on the device when the gadgets are given back.
This ensures the sanctity of data.
Otherwise any false evidence aka incriminating evidence can be implanted.
The seized gadgets shud be closed in a faraday bag.
Coming back to this movie, the public prosecutor played by Amitabh Bachan obtains the mobile phone illegally, while the judge simply sits there n doesnt discourage the improper manners used for obtaining evidence.
Even the defending lawyer (Annu Kapoor) doesn't raise any objections.
The court should be careful while admitting illegally obtained evidence as by allowing such shreds of evidence, courts are promoting the improper methods of procuring evidence.
The exclusionary rule is enshrined in the fourth amendment of the American Constitution.
In the United States, the exclusionary rule is a legal rule, based on constitutional law, that prevents evidence collected or analyzed in violation of the defendant's constitutional rights from being used in a court of law.
Fifth Amendment also states that no person "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself."
Coming back to the movie, the snowy landscape looked very fake n even the fire looked fake.
The movie has too many plot holes.
Generous with a 5 for Bachan n Hashmi sharing screen for the first time. -
pawanpunjabithewriter4 March 2023Chehre captivates the audience right from the start, gradually building suspense that keeps us on the edge of our seats. Despite some dull moments, the script, climax, and dialogues hold our attention gripping us throughout. Adapted from The Dangerous Game by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, the actors elevate the material to a higher level. The movie maintains a constant suspenseful atmosphere keeping us engrossed with thrilling moments.
Emraan Hashmi and Annu Kapoor deliver strong performances, but they are overshadowed by Amitabh Bachchan's sheer brilliance. Leading the film single-handedly, Amitabh Bachchan adds yet another gem to his illustrious career. His is crafted with exceptional depth, making it a memorable portrayal. I decided to watch this movie upon my friend's recommendation as I had expressed my discontent with Amitabh in Brahmastra, wondering if he had lost his charm.
It's a slow, serious, and engaging experience. Chehre delivers on its promises of suspense, darkness, and crime thrills, making it an impressive addition to the genre. -
tariqzafar-1202030 November 2021The movie starts on an interesting note. A group of old retired men play a game with lost strangers to find out if someone has committed a crime by delving into their pasts asking questions. At one point Amitabh Bachan says that it's impossible that anyone's past is flawless without any serious sins or crimes and one must have committed something for which they could be indicted. Really!! Emraan Hashmi sounds too confident to say that he hasn't ever committed a serious crime for a person who just killed someone. And then Amitabh Bachan goes to the extent of being preachy. Emraan Hashmi's crime is not about any rape but Amitabh gives a long monologue how rape survivors face injustice and rapists tread free. A good message but nowhere related to the offence Hashmi had committed. What started as a good mystery fare turns into confusion and lead actors trying hard to justify their parts. Acting wise everyone is fine. Whats weak is the script.

tammytimtam8 October 2021Interesting till half then downhill till the end. CGI is bad as always. Very dull colours. Very predictable movie. I loved last speech about rape victims which is one of the sad part about today's society. Some wise things are said in movie about today's society which are very true. Acting was good. In short it's watch worthy but don't expect something special if you watch a lot of Hollywood movies. What this movie have is a message.

guddanshukla29 August 2021Excellent work by Emraan hasmi sir. I am his big fan.

Rhea was innocent as per law. She is a good actress and has achieved more than most of you can ever imagine.
Anyway movie is good, concept is amazing, ending was disappointing, Emraan was better than Amitabh, Rhea was really good, hope she gets more important roles in future. Annu kapoor is good as usual. -
ravirayappan29 August 2021Praise the director , producer praise amithab bachan, one of the best movie i ever seen.

msunando27 August 2021Sameer Mehra (Emaran Hashmi) is caught in a blizzard while driving to Delhi from a resort in the hills and a fallen tree makes his onward journey impossible. A chance meeting with Mr. Paramjeet Singh Bhullar (Annu Kapoor) near the sight offers Sameer a night stay at the former's friend's house, much to the relief of Sameer. At the isolated bungalow in the hills, Sameer meets a group of four old, retired men who have had long careers in the field of law - Bhullar himself, Justice Jagdish Acharya (Dhritiman Chatterjee), Lateef Zaidi (Amitabh Bachchan) and Hariya (Raghuvir Yadav). The four men treat their young guest well, offer him drinks, dinner and comfort of home, and invite him to play a game of law with them, where Sameer has to play the accused and he can choose any crime that he would have committed.
Confident and street smart as Sameer is, he claims that he has never committed a crime other than jumping signals on a few occasions and allows Lateef Zaidi to prosecute him on any crime he deems fit. The story starts taking a dramatic turn from here when Lateef realizes that Sameer is extremely ambitious and ruthless and his meteoric rise in his professional career must be due to some unscrupulous moves. Lateef plays the prosecutor, Bhullar the defence counsel, Acharya the judge and Hariya has a special task to execute. The game gradually reveals chunks in Sameer's armour and he is no longer confident and comfortable. And therefore way out until the game finishes.
"Chehre" is an interesting premise and a tactfully created plot. It's dialogue heavy and radically verbose, which aspect is both the film's merit and demerit. It's fast paced and exciting, albeit a little difficult to digest. But the concept of a courtroom outside of the established courts and the four old hands of law slowly breaking down Sameer's pride, confidence and gritty behaviour is interesting. The weak link in the endeavour is Amitabh Bachchan's rant on the precarious state of the legal cases and how the victims of heinous crimes fail to get justice - this aspect towards the end came up as irrelevant to the story, long and irritating, and honestly, brought the film to a screeching halt. The performances are all rock solid and Big B doesn't disappoint. Emaran Hashmi is credible and holds his ground when pitted against the stalwarts from the industry. "Chehre" is a good offbeat film as a one-time watch, but certainly not commercial success material. -
unrivaledraj1 October 2021Rating it 3 not because of Rhea. I see so many reviews filled with hatred towards an accused and just because of that they have rated it 1, it's not even remotely related to the movie, sorry to see so many dumb Indians.
Now to the movie, this is just dull and ridiculous. The characters start shady from the beginning, that just ruins any buildup towards a good thriller. They make it so obvious, that you can easily guess what's gonna happen.
Despite a strong cast, actors don't have much to do because of a poor script.
Just skip this movie. Waste of time. -
SoumikBanerjee19963 October 2021Flipping through that many critical scrutinies, I was preparing myself for nothing but another disappointment. Following my two hours spent with this execution, now I can tell with much certainty that my presumption was only half right.
To start with; the set-up, the all-around ambiance is relatively straightforward and explicit with their motivations and purposes. The creators knew what they needed to accomplish, and they successfully did so up until the third act's commencement. Unfortunately for them, thereupon, everything had gone downhill.
The primary justification for its eventual downfall is directly correlated to the Script's inability to uphold the rhythm, the momentum it was building up to, until the finale begins to take place. Just goes to show, how much important it is to wrap up on a decisive note. The closure is as crucial as the initiation!
Speaking of performances, those are nice. Nothing out of the ordinary, but each member of the cast did their job with utmost commitment and sincerity. Amongst them, needless to say; Mr. Bacchan stands out the most and on the other end, Emraan Hashmi again showcases his capability to be able to play all kinds of personalities.
At the end of the day, their goals might have been naive, unearthing the loopholes of our country's judiciary or the protocols themselves; but the way all that has been dealt with, it just doesn't quite hit the mark. Don't get me wrong, the underlying subtext holds grave significance and mustn't be disregarded but the timing wasn't relevant nor the strategy the film had seemingly taken in regards to that particular aspect. -
khalidhammad-8756512 September 2021I loved this movie and Sir Amitabh Bachman and Imran Hashemi acting.

Ansango5 October 2021Calling this film boring would be an understatement. This film is a preachy, lethargic, crude and hollow thriller with neither style nor substance.
I kept expecting something good to happen, and it never did. The plot is not good even for a short story, let alone a feature-length movie. The central mystery is really dull and it's presented in the most tedious way possible. Characters are uninteresting and the acting is flat. The monologue by Amit Ji is so preachy, stale and stupid that you really start to wonder about who wrote this crap. In my opinion, those self-righteous kooks, calling themselves protectors of law and justice, were equally at fault and should have been blamed for the casualty.
This is waste of time and resources. There is no place for logic and reasoning in this film. The cinematography is good but visuals during the end sequences are reprehensible.
The makers said during the release of the film that this is the film that is going to revive our theatres. If this is the kind of movie which is going to be made for theatres, let them be defunct. -
shubh-0446528 August 2021Wow that so amazing film that so amazing movie thanks for your movie.

yourz_sanju3 October 2021A movie about fictitious court game in a house and bringing justice to those who escaped committing their crime.
Interesting concept but poorly executed. There were slow places on the screenplay. It was supposed to be a suspense thriller but was predictable in so many places of the story.
As far as performance is concerned, apart from Rhea Chakroborty everyone else nailed it. Even Siddhanth Kapoor was better than her. She still needs to learn how to act. Amitabh Bachchan and Imran Hashmi got decent opportunity to portray their characters and have interesting on screen magic. However Annu Kapoor showed his best and was dynamic in his role. Dhritiman Chatterjee, Raghuveer Yadav and Samir Soni didn't get enough to contribute their excellence.
Overall, its definitely one time watch for sure. But if you can't see it in theatres, it's not really a big miss. Amazon Prime is still better platform for it. -
A posh photography and an impressive ensemble acting fail to lift this thriller. The film plays as a skit on the judicial system of the country with the retired judge, prosecutor and defense attorney living together in a bungalow and playing themselves in a game to execute the visitors of the bungalow as the criminals.
Despite some suspense and excitement at instances, the film ends pointless and feels like a childish play. The twists are similar to a much unknown thriller "Zid" and Amitabh Bachchan shares a similar role from "Badla;'" but overall, "Chehre" ends in a tasteless note with an unlikeable and improbable plot, which won't retain long with the viewers.
Rating: 1.5 stars out of 4. -
crisshill31 August 2021Good movie, a completely suspenseful story had me anxious throughout the game's plot, the acting of the actors Amitabh Bacchan and Emran Hashmi has been excellent. Nice work from producer Anand Pandit.

dhirajkakad4 October 2021Just Because Rhea is A Part of The Starcast, You Can't Just Ignore and Write Hate Review's For This Wonderful And Amazing Suspense Thriller With Superb Performance of All the Characters and A Good and New Story. Should not Miss this One for the Above Mentioned Reasons. A must see, Worth your Time.

santubhattacharjee3 October 2021The film is utter garbage. The talented starcast has totally been wasted. I understand that it's a low budget movie. But how can people can droop so low in the name of creativity! Poor VFX, unnecessary skin show, predictable 1 hr movie stretched to 2.5 hrs. I thank God that in OTT, I had the power to forward the bad scenes and trust me there are lots of them. I can't imagine how devastating it would have been if people watched in theaters. They surely would have needed psychiatric treatment.

piyushshukla17 October 2021Movie had a fabulous first half but in second half it was absolutely rubbish..plot of overall murder was very predictable and had no suspense factor ..and last saying all recording and will be sent to high court and no one will ever agree to fight such a case even for game to bunch of strangeras...had it been shown as a fiction it would have still made sensr but showing it as a realistic movie makes no sense whatsoever...everybody acting was quite goof and first half was very good and keeps viewers fixed with screen but un second half movies falls apart very badly with no logic or fun.

legolasj28 August 2021Chehre is the best mystery thriller film. It is about80-year-old man with a penchant for a real life game with his group of friends. They conduct a mock trial and decide if justice has been served, if not they make sure justice has been served. Amitabh Bacchan acting is best.
