Sallu ne conspire kiya hoga.

Craycanes were saying woh chroma mein kiya gaya tha... aur cheers fake tha.

While Deepika is a fab actress, Meghna should have casted Kangana instead. Whether true or not, Kangana is synonymous with bold cinema and great performances. She's the finest actress today. Her presence would have given Chappaak another dimension and credibility.

you2 being the IF's spokesperson of the leftists and libtards, I never had dreamed about that nightmare.

This is really hilarious when some DP fans come out with the excuse that people were asking to boycott Chappaak. Twitter comes up with boycotting something every other day, do you think people do that in real life. VDW and Padmavat did so well, which was more contributed to this SM boycott trend. Any publicity is a good publicity but this time it backfired. Accept it.

Mission Mangal, boycotted by Bhakts for supposedly ridiculing Hinduism and heavily criticised by Libtards for apparently being a nationalist propaganda, still did huge business.

Women card, JNU card, Bhakt card and so many cards being used as an excuse lol.

It takes a big heart to accept the defeat, in this case a flop movie. You can come up with umpteenth excuses but the fact will remain the same, movie bumped.

I still remember the time Jai Ho released, some leftists started putting the blame on Sallu meeting with Modi. Do you really think that was the reason for movie not working? Movie didn't work because it wasn't accepted by audience being a bad film. How difficult it is to accept that?

Now deepika has got eternal funding for her next flops from congress like her fans say kangana gets funding from bjp. Now she will visit more criminals and her fans will say she is torch bearer of human rights. #MyDpAgain❤️

Such a queen. 😃 but she got zero star power. Flop!

Citizen Deepika

Stars hold a mythic meaning for us, embodying through a persona, the currents of the culture

Since Deepika Padukone went to the JNU protests, it is amusing to see her described as heroic and also a great actor. You have only to see Chhapaak, her first film as a producer to know that while Deepika is an uneven actor, she is definitely, something more significant in popular culture: a star.

Stars hold a mythic meaning for us, embodying through a persona, the currents of the culture. Stars and the public, exist in a dynamic relationship, like lovers, reflecting and reshaping each other.

Deepika's persona has always been, as this column has previously noted, one of decency and sincerity, even noble of heart. Her presence communicates a self-possessed, reflective and emotional quality. She has frequently played characters who are forthright, ethical and loving. Upright, but not unyielding, who feel deeply, hurt keenly but are willing to heal from hurt—whether in Jawani Deewani, Chennai Express, Piku or Love Aaj Kal.

This is the fundamental quality which illuminates Chhapaak. This is not a 'great' film, lacking strong cinematic qualities, with a basic script that can't quite create narrative momentum or emotional causality, garnishing turning points with dialogue, but not taking us along with them experientially. And yet, Chhapaak has something that has been sorely missing from the cultural mainstream: deep sincerity, even humility, that does not tip over into self-serving earnestness.

Many people have said that it is very brave of Deepika to do "such a role" as if it is dangerous for a beautiful woman to play a disfigured one. But Deepika's pluckiness lies elsewhere.

Despite its limitations, Chhapaak is constantly disturbing. We feel the horror of everyday violence sharply. Without innuendo, sensationalism or euphemism, without aestheticised violence, it conveys the terror, the horror, the pain of being attacked, shunned, heartbroken and defeated. It manages, on the whole, to avoid the pitfalls of presenting its central character, Malati, as pathetic victim and then soaring hero. We encounter her half-way through her recovery process. In avoiding a linear tale of lost normalcy or innocence, which is vanquished, it compels us to deal with a person in the present moment, living, struggling, desiring.

But, throughout, we feel this pain for every woman who appears in the film—Malati does not become a proxy for all women, but exists in a community of women. Those victims who die, and those who survive to strive with the women who support or help them, all make up this world, which spends little time on sociological or psychological explanations for acid attacks.

It is significant and new for a movie star to play one among many, heroism as everyday comradeship, not larger than life. That Deepika went to JNU because she had a film coming out may be true. But it's also true that the film and her persona reflect the times. After a period of deep cynicism, misogyny and self-interest, we are surrounded by earnest passions, which strive for co-existence without subsuming difference; a heartfelt, hospitable politics in response to a politics of corrosive masculinised violence. In this moment, the citizen is the star, and offers the movie star a chance to be a citizen too, not only a brand, reframing celebrity. In the visit to JNU, the star and public mirrored each other. She was welcomed, and easy as one among many. Citizen Deepika, a star for the age.
