Enter Sameer Mehra, the chief of an ad agency from Delhi, played by Emraan Hashmi. Circumstances force Sameer to spend the night at the mansion due to severe weather conditions. As he becomes acquainted with the group of law veterans, portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan, Annu Kapoor, Dhritiman Chatterjee, and Raghubir Yadav, he finds himself drawn into their peculiar game.
The group welcomes Sameer warmly, engaging him in small talk and sharing a few drinks. Eventually, Sameer agrees to participate in their courtroom game. Initially finding it amusing, he soon discovers that he has been accused of a serious crime: murdering his boss and usurping his position in the agency. What follows is a trial where Sameer’s fate hangs in the balance, with the veteran actors portraying key roles in the proceedings.
Despite the talents of the cast, including Emraan Hashmi and Amitabh Bachchan, the film suffers from a weak script. Rhea Chakraborty’s character, Anna, the mysterious housekeeper-painter, fails to make a significant impact. While the premise of the story initially appears promising, it gradually descends into absurdity as the plot unfolds.
The film attempts to explore themes of justice and law, but it ultimately falls short due to plot holes and a lack of coherence. The attempt to convey a social commentary on the Indian criminal justice system feels shallow and lacks depth. As the story progresses, viewers are left feeling disappointed by the sluggish pace and preachy tone of the film.
Despite its atmospheric setting, the film fails to deliver as a thriller, leaving audiences unsatisfied with its drawn-out courtroom drama and unsatisfying conclusion. Overall, while the idea behind “Chehre” may be intriguing, its execution leaves much to be desired.
