Cast: Emraan Hashmi, Amitabh Bachchan, Annu Kapoor, Raghubir Yadav, Dhritimaan Chatterjee, Rhea Chakrabarty, Krystle D’Souza, Sidhant Kapoor, Samir Soni

Director: Rumi Jafry

It takes a ton to waste a particularly grasping reason with helpless composition. In any case, chief Rumi Jafry's Chehre does precisely that. The film begins a promising note, yet it before long begins to go downhill. Chehre is so peculiar after a point that even prepared entertainers like Amitabh Bachchan, Anu Kapoor, and Emraan Hashmi can't lift the content. While everything may have looked amazing on paper, it simply doesn't decipher on screen.

A Delhi based promotion organization boss, Sameer Mehra (Emraan Hashmi) gets abandoned in a hailstorm, and four resigned court authorities welcome him to go through the night in their spooky house-like home at a secluded slope station. Little does Sameer realize that these oldies authorize mock preliminaries with outsiders as a breathe easy, and they've tracked down their most recent guinea pig. Hesitant from the get-go, he yields to their wound 'game'.

Helmed by Rumy Jafry and composed by the chief in a joint effort with Ranjit Kapoor, Chehre is a verbose and vacuous film caught in a corny develop intended to focus on ho-murmur thoughts about wrongdoing and culpability. A cast of prepared entertainers is diminished to hamming their direction through an enervating show that is all vainglorious hot air.

The law in our nation, says past open investigator Lateef Zaidi (Amitabh Bachchan), doesn't convey equity, it just conveys decisions. In the organization of resigned Justice Jagdeep Acharya (Dhritiman Chatterjee) and previous protection counsel Paramjeet Singh Bhullar (Annu Kapoor), his buddies for quite a long time, he takes upon himself the errand of fixing things and continues to make mincemeat of rationale.

The threesome has a woodwind playing Hariya Jatav (Raghubir Yadav) for organization. The unassuming man not just finishes the fearsome foursome, he additionally remains by smiling and scowling by turns, recommending in the deal that there is something else to him besides he will let on.

The young fellow who is trapped in the obfuscate is Sameer Mehra (Emraan Hashmi), who, after he has brought down a stake of rum and a glass of sangria, is persuaded that he is in an innocuous fireside game. The experience accepts an unpropitious divert as an occurrence from his past is uncovered and made a necessary piece of the clash of brains that Zaidi and his watchful accomplices have concocted for the visitor who knows not what he has given himself access to.

There are two different characters in the house - a secretive maid (Rhea Chakraborty) and a quiet jack of all trades (Siddhant Kapoor). Both have histories yet neither of them gets any opportunity of advancing into characters of substance. That isn't what they are here to do. They are simple limbs. The young lady snickers like a hen when she gets an unexpected gift from the visitor. The person scowls threateningly at the man in the dock when the event requests.

The exchanges, co-composed by Rumi and Ranjit, are so blundering that they will in general get troubled by their own weight. There's a ton of 'shayari' as well, yet you can just partake in these Hindi writing talks to a point. Notwithstanding, somebody liners do trigger snickers.

Amitabh and Emraan's go head to head groupings is energizing. Annu Kapoor, as well, tidies things up with his Punjabi complement. Rhea Chakraborty (Anna), the baffling house help and painter, is squandered playing a silly person that doesn't allow her to do a lot. So is Siddhanth Kapoor (Joe), who can't talk. Krystle D'Souza (Natasha Oswal) for her first big-screen trip looks very amazing. There's Samir Soni, as well, as Emraan's chief and Krystle's onscreen spouse, however his exaggerating can simply be disregarded.

Chehre can't be known as an exciting court show. So how about we simply say that Rumi Jafry has endeavored something out of his usual range of familiarity, yet his film is only watchable.
