Chhapaak Movie: Review, Cast, Box Office Collection, Budget

[SpiciestSweet2]

Deepika Padukone's Chhapaak is all set for a theatrical release in India on January 10. After delivering two acclaimed hits Talvar (2015) and Raazi (2018), Meghna Gulzar explores yet another realistic subject of acid-attack cases in India with Chhapaak and critics might love this one as well, just like her previous two outings. The film is clashing with Ajay Devgn and Kajol starrer magnum opus Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior that releases on the same day. The riveting trailer of Chhapaak has already established an emotional connect with the audiences and moviegoers can't wait to watch Deepika's performance on the big screen. With Akshay Kumar's Good Newwz still managing to rake big bucks at the box-office, it would be interesting to see how well does Chhapaak performs despite catering to a very niche audience.
