Deepika
Padukone's
Chhapaak
stirred
a
controversy
before
its
theatrical
release
after
she
visited
the
JNU
campus
to
express
her
solidarity
with
the
students
who
were
injured
in
a
mob
violence
on
the
campus.
Her
JNU
visit
even
sparked
off
a
#BoycottChhapaak
trend
on
Twitter.
The
IMDB
rating
of
the
social
drama
too
took
a
hit,
with
people
downvoting
the
film
in
large
numbers.
Many
netizens
suspected
it
as
a
'deliberate
attack'.
However,
the
actress
is
unfazed
with
the
trolls
targetting
her
film
and
had
a
savage
response
when
asked
about
it.
In
a
video
shared
on
Twitter
by
a
fan
club,
the
actress
is
seen
telling
her
detractors.
"Unhone
meri
IMDb
rating
badli
hai,
mera
mann
nahi."

After
the
flood
of
1-star
ratings,
Chhapaak's
IMDb
rating
later
finally
stabilized
at
4.6
stars.
Speaking
about
the
film,
Deepika's
performance
garnered
a
lot
of
praises
from
the
critics.
However,
the
film
failed
to
rake
in
big
numbers
as
compared
to
Ajay
Devgn's
Tanhaji:
The
Unsung
Warrior
which
too,
released
on
the
same
day.
Reporedly,
Chhapaak
collected
Rs
34.03
crore
nett
and
Rs
40
crore
gross
in
two
weeks
at
the
domestic
box
office
and
Rs
13.03
crore
in
the
overseas
market.
A
Quint
report
stated
that
the
Deepika
Padukone
starrer
was
made
on
a
budget
of
around
Rs
35
crore.
The
makers
sold
its
music
rights
for
Rs
3
crore
and
its
digital
and
satellite
rights
for
about
Rs
23
crore.
Talking
about
the
film's
lukewarm
performance
at
the
box
office,
Deepika
earlier
said
in
an
interview,
"The
numbers
are
actually
very
similar
to
Piku.
It
is
more
or
less
the
same.
The
intent
of
this
film
was
very
different.
Every
Rs
100
crore
film
is
not
necessarily
a
successful
film.
It
is
based
on
your
budget
and
based
on
how
much
you
have
spent
in
the
movie.
So
if
you
have
earned
Rs
100
crores
what
if
you
have
spent
300
crores
to
make
a
film.
But
the
audience
today
has
been
fed
with
this
kind
of
information
that
a
Rs
100
crore
film
is
a
hit
film."
Directed
by
Meghna
Gulzar,
Chhapaak
tells
the
story
of
a
young
girl
named
Malti
(Deepika
Padukone)
whose
life
changes
after
an
acid-attack.
The
film
is
inspired
by
the
life
story
of
real-life
acid
attack
survivor
Laxmi
Agarwal.
