Chehre Review Begins
The star ensemble of the film is phenomenal including actors like Annu Kapoor, Emraan Hashmi and ofcourse Big B. The film also has a strong supporting cast including Rhea Chakraborty, Dhritiman Chatterjee, Raghubir Yadav, Krystle Dsouza, Sameer Soni, siddharth Kapoor and AlexAlexx O’ Nell.. The movie Chehre begins with Amitabh Bachchan ‘s monologue justifying the movie title.

Rhea has a very short screen time and is overshadowed by others. She voluntary work as a house help at Acharya ji’s house. Soon, Amitabh ‘s character enters as a very talented and vigilant retired lawyer.
All the characters enter into a game in the form of courtroom drama and the story takes a suspicious turn. The first half is mostly shot in an isolated bungalow. It is filled with Gyan bhaare baatein of Amitabh Bachchan and Emran Hashmi which could be slightly boring. But the second half is engaging and gripping.
Krystle D’Souza left a mark!
Anything beyond this will be a spoiler and we are totally against it. It will be very interesting to see how a veteran lawyer digs out truth from a stranger.
Performances
Emran Hashmi was very convincing as an unapologetic business professional. He lives life on his terms and is eager for easy success.
Amitabh Bachchan was true to his profession and believed in justice. But his character has a 13-minute-long monologue which fails to create a long-lasting impact.
Siddharth as a mute man also has a short screen time but his acting skills were very convincing. We rate it 1.5 stars!
