Chhapaak movie Review
Story of the movie:
Chhapaak narrates the story of 19-year-old Malti (Deepika Padukone) who, as a happy teenager, aspired to be a singer. But, one day she is attacked in broad daylight on the streets of Delhi by a friend of the family, Bashir Khan aka Babbu after she rejects his romantic advances. As the narrative chooses a non-linear route, we first meet Malti when she is on a job hunt – consciously trying to move on from the emotional scars that the heinous crime has left her with. For the physical scars, she has to go through a number of complicated surgeries. In fact, far from the dreams she nursed of being a singer, her life is now an intersection of her work with an NGO for acid victims, her multiple surgeries and her court cases.
Star Performance:
Deepika Padukone has delivered an outstanding performance as Malti. As her boyfriend, Vikrant Massey has also delivered good acting and his chemistry with her is a treat to watch on screen. While, others like Vishal Dahiya, Madhurjeet Sarghi and Ankit Bisht have also done justice to their respective roles.
Music Direction:
The film’s music is good. The title track by Arijit Singh strikes all the right chords & it’s totally soul-moving.
Direction:
Meghna Gulzar’s direction is outstanding. Dialogues are catchy. The story sends out a strong message and is undoubtedly a brave attempt, however the edit seems choppy. The director has treated the subject with the sensitivity and seriousness it deserves. Moreover, her narration is brilliant and engaging.
Watch Or Not:
It’s a watch worthy film.
