Review of Chehre

Chehre (2021)
5/10
The summation/closing argument/monologue is downright incompetent, boring n incoherent but the movie raises a very important question about the legal system.

The 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.
