Director: Rumi Jaffrey
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Emraan Hashmi, Annu Kapoor, Raghubir Yadav, Rhea Chakraborty
At the climax of the film, Emraan Hashmi says, “I am tired and bored of this game, just let the verdict be heard.” Unfortunately, the dialogue is true to face.
Director Rumi Jaffrey takes its audience into the world of four friends (Amitabh Bachchan, Annu Kapoor, Raghubir Yadav, and Dhritiman Chatterjee), a public prosecutor, a defense lawyer, a judge, and an executioner, who play a game. who play a game. Like a mock trial with a mysterious visitor (Hashmi) who reaches the door of his house due to some unforeseen circumstances. While Hashmi’s character was initially reluctant to participate, he later gives up and decides to play the game. It might sound like an interesting plot, but the film lacks both the smarts and the danger to be a good courtroom drama thriller.
To begin with, the screenplay is passive, especially in the first half. The second half, which is set almost entirely in a makeshift courtroom, has more vigor. There are some interesting points in the film that include some heavy dialogue, but the problem lies in the parts that are supposed to establish the connection between the audience and the characters – they are loosely written and dramatically portrayed onscreen.
Given the absurd twists and turns, the film turns out to be a complicated and tedious mess. It almost seems that Jaffrey has spoiled his own script. In about two and a half hours, the film looks slow and boring. The cat and mouse game between the characters of Bachchan and Hashmi never gained momentum.
In the performances, Bachchan is at the top. His nuance and his ability to draw the finest lines with his elegant baritone make the performance as clinical as an experienced lawyer argues in court. The makers have given her a stylish look which adds to her charisma. Kapoor is convincing as ever and gets into his character with ease. Both the actors combine to create just the right amount of tension and thrill. Katerji and Yadav give good support with their experience. On the other hand, Hashmi looks a bit tired as a corporate person. Siddhant Kapoor seems to be doomed as the helper of the house. The women- Rhea Chakraborty as the maid and Krystle D’Souza as the love interest are cardboard-ish and have hardly any meat to work with.
Faces isn’t watchable, but it’s an uncompromising film that has little to offer. I remember Sunny Deol’s famous dialogue, “Tarikh pe tithi, tithi pe tithi, tithi pe tithi milti gayi my lord, par justice nahi mila” from the 1993 superhit film Damini. The audience will definitely not get any kind of justice. After spending my time in the face
