#OneWordReview...#Chhapaak: POWERFUL.Rating:


½Some stories should be told. Some issues must be addressed... Gut-wrenching, yet empowering... Aces: Sensitive writing. Skilled direction. Masterful performances... Take a bow, #Deepika and #MeghnaGulzar. #ChhapaakReview

I expected slobbering reviews. I think something about film hasn't clicked well with critics. They are not praising the film to the moon and back which I expected. They are being gentler because of the sensitive topic and not criticising it much.

That and also political pressures.

I felt the same too... But let's see there are still more reviews to go

Yeah may be general movie going audience will like it. But all review ratings are between 3-4 which is not bad but underwhelming definitely

And the thing I am not getting with these reviews is "heart-wrenching/blockbuster/need to be watched" etc etc sabhi 5 star worthy lagte hai but reality mein 3.5 ke aage ni bad raha🤔also the reviewers haven't pointed out flaws much but phir bhi it's 3.5...strange

Pata ni it's too early to tell ... I don't want to read these detailed reviews too as it might effect my judgement of the film... I saw some reviews with stars more than 3.5(5 too) now😄

It seems the direction has failed not the acting or deepika.

Let’s just put it in this way – I expected this to be at least Raazi level if not Talvar but Meghna Gulzar misses the mark. It might be because of retaining the sensitivity to the subject, but a lot of things are missing. She had everything designed on the platter to cook a delicious meal but she messes up with the ingredients. Meghna chooses to end on a shocking note but that too missed the landing for me. After a hurried & predictable ending, Meghna takes an unconventional route to conclude the climax.

The movie takes the right decision to include just two songs but Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy fails to impress with the romantic track, Nok Jhok. The title track by Arijit Singh strikes all the right chords & it’s totally soul-moving. Background score goes unregistered & could’ve been better.

So thats why Deepika is doing extra natak, the movie is going to flop it seems.

I guess Alia is cemented afterall!
