Chhapaak movie review: Deepika Padukone's acid attack saga has its moments, but not enough

Firstpost  

Despite the standard disclaimer that appears at the start of pretty much every film these days, Chhapaak – as is evident from its promotions – is based on the true story of acid-attack survivor and activist Laxmi Agarwal. Chhapaak’s narrative style is largely documentary-like, leaving the horror of Malti’s reality to do its work on viewer emotions. Perhaps I have been spoilt for Chhapaak because just last year I watched – and loved and rewatched – the Mollywood film Uyare starring the wonderful Parvathy Thiruvothu as a woman whose controlling boyfriend throws acid on her face. Considering that Meghna’s handling of gender is usually faultless, it is surprising to see her go down a conventional path in Chhapaak’s finale. Hindi TV’s Darling Young Man, the sturdy Dev from Lootera and the loveable, troubled Shutu from A Death In The Gunj is all grown up and a really sexy man in Chhapaak.
