A crisp, racy, engaging film with a powerful social message as well! It's thumbs up all the way!! Read full poetic review below:- Deepika Padukone starer "Chhappak" tells the story of acid victims a 'horror' moment that changes lives of victims forever! It also raises issues of easy availability of acid, insensitivity of legal system, the police and the general public at large to the plight of acid victims Some may feel movie, too matter of fact not the usual, hyped sentimental stuff Hindi movies are known for yet this movie is more about triumph rather than defeat triumph of the spirit, over horrific circumstances over heinous, sick action of cowards! Instead of wallowing long in self pity Malti, the protagonist, based on a real life Shero not only rebuilds own life but fights for the needs of fellow acid victims Though a heavy subject, ace director Meghna Gulzar gives right dozes of sensitivity, concern, and lighter moments to this beautiful flick sans melodrama... Deepika as Malti is too good so are her co artists providing solid support whether Vikrant Massey as co-passenger Madhurjeet Sarghi as lawyer Vishal Dahia as attacker or Payal Nair as ever supporting Shiraz auntie The entire team - cast and crew can be very proud - being part of a crisp, racy, engaging film with a powerful social message as well! It's thumbs up all the way!!
