Any better counter arguments or thatās it?
Chaapak would have fared "better" with a bit of reality check.
Forget JNU and Left leaning ppl distributing free tickets. Its Meghana Gulzar's weakest film, no chance of it being a big HIT like Raazi.
They should have not clashed with "Tanhaji" but delusional fans led the team to believe somehow Deepika has better draw than Tanhaji team that too being no so great movie.
A media star does not automatically convert to Box office star. Even for a bad movie a box office star should have stellar opening.
Script was very poor. They made a documentary instead of a movie. Acting had nothing to do with the movie flopping. All acted accordingly in the movie.
The makers were probably being very careful not to commercialize the movie as it was a sensitive subject. As a result of that we got a documentary instead of a movie.
Personally I don't think the JNU visit affected the movie at all. If the movie became hit then same people would say her JNU visit was a success
For example, Padmavat did great amidst so much controversy. Because the movie appealed to audience. Audience don't care about controversies. If they want to watch a movie they will watch it no matter what.
Edited by SugaAgustD - 3 years agoDeepikaās performance was universally praised. She carry the movie fiercely. Most people here couldnāt bother watching and they were already bashing it. Half of people saying yes didnāt watch the movie if that was the case then a more detailed answer other than āYESā would have been more credible ššš
A better question would
would Chhapaak .....with a much better Director?
and the answer is yes.
True.
Let's look at it this way as to which of her contemporaries could have:
1. Alia - Maybe
2. Katrina - Wouldn't have been offered the film in the first place
3. Kangana- Would have aced it but the film wouldn't have fared well at the box office
4. Vidya- couldn't have been offered the film because the actress needed to look a certain way
5. Taapsee - Again maybe
