What went wrong with Chhapaak?

• It all started with Deepika Padukone making an appearance in JNU and then Twitter got crazy. Twitterati started trending #boycottChhapaak and no sooner did when her movie got released people boycotted.
• Chhapaak’s release date collapsed with Ajay Devgn’s movie Tanaaji – an Unsung Hero. This movie was based on the Maratha warrior Tanaaji Malusare. Which gave tough competition and Deepika’s star faded in front of this mighty movie.

So if we will try to find out the reason behind Chhapaak being flopped is Deepika Padukone herself as per the many sources and analyses. Her JNU presence for the promotion of her movie has gone wrong. People urge to boycott, even some BJP leaders also asked to Boycott the movie. A movie that may have been career-changing. But the movie turns out to be an unexpected failure.

Deepika Padukone is the biggest superstar in India. With her presence, she can make any movie successful at Box Office. Her movie Piku earns her so much which she may have been expecting from Chhapaak too but sometimes things don’t go our way. Some moviemakers after seeing Chhapaak’s promos were solid on their views that this movie may win her National Award too. So it was shocking to see Chhapaak as a failure at BOX OFFICE INDIA.

Here are some tweets on Boycott Chhapaak :

#BoycottChhapaak started trending with the claim that the film gave Aggarwal’s perpetrator, Naeem Khan, a Hindu identity, but was found false.
