What common mindset are you talking about?
Kahaani

Barfi
Mardaani
Piku
Tanu Weds Manu Returns
Queen

None of these films had glamorous heroines. Most of them were without makeup including Deepika in Piku yet they all were superhits. Because they were all fantastic films and relied on good story,screenplay and acting which Chapaak lacked.Hence the film was a failure while the others weren't. Only her fans will live in a lala land where people will pay money to see Deepika with prosthetics. Those who went, went for the real life story of Lakshmi that was very much publicized wayy before Chapaak happened.
If people had only gone to watch Deepika then it's horrible that it only had 4 Cr opening given how you keep opening topics of her being the last superstar. Which superstar gives 4 Cr opening for a film? A superstar will guarantee a terrific opening despite what the film is and how their makeup is in the film.
And no thank you, I don't want to be intellectual if that means praising sub par actors like Deepika and Tritpi day in and day out in the forum.
