Top Cast
Chargesheet is an Bollywood Crime thriller, drama film directed by veteran Dev Anand, starring himself, Jackie Shroff, Naseeruddin Shah and Divya Dutta in lead roles, while Riya Sen appears in an item-number. The film is named after a formal document of accusation prepared by a law-enforcement agency in India. It released on 30 September 2011, to mixed reviews and failed at the box office due to multiple releases around the same time.
Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Chargesheet is largely negative, with reviewers finding little to recommend beyond a passing acknowledgment of Dev Anand's persistent creative energy. The screenplay was noted by one critic as a relative strength compared to contemporary films, but the film is otherwise widely panned. A dominant criticism is that the film is overwhelmingly centered on Dev Anand himself, leaving little room for other elements, and at least one critic warned it could put viewers off cinema entirely. A box-office failure was widely anticipated.

Updated“Dev Anand still sees himself in a similar mould. Writing and directing movies. For those who felt the director in him would give younger actors a chance to dominate on screen, be warned this film is all about Dev Anand, Dev Anand and still more Dev Anand. In case you're not his admirer, you can abandon this review here itself. Or else keep reading.”Read full review ↗
“But unlike some of the movies made today, Chargesheet story and screenplay are good. With some literally titillating scenes liberally thrown in, this movie would definitely appeal to the mass front benchers. A must see if you have to.”Read full review ↗
“On the whole, Chargesheet will bomb miserably at the box-office.”Read full review ↗
“Over all, it's just the respect for Dev Anand that people will go to cinema hall, otherwise after 'Chargesheet', one would not dare to watch any other film.”Read full review ↗
“Irrespective of how CHARGESHEET fares or received by the movie-going audience, I am sure Dev sahab would've already cracked the idea of his next film. I salute that!”Read full review ↗
