Critic Review

Cinema has always been called the mirror of society and the silver screen has proved this thing continuously in the past years. The way in which the trend of films depicting social issues and women tragedy has gone on in this period, Chhapaak directed by Meghna Gulzar and starring Deepika Padukone is presented with the strongest content.

The story is based on the life of the acid attack Victim Survivor Lakshmi Aggarwal. The story begins with Aced Victim Survivor Malti (Deepika Padukone), who is looking for a job. In this attempt, he is reminded of his ugly face from repeated acid attacks. When Malati, who has undergone several surgeries, is found and interviewed by a journalist, other layers of the story open up. Malti joins an NGO working for acid Victim Survivors, where she meets Amol (Vikrant Messi), the NGO’s doer with several acid Victims. Then the Darun tragedy of Malti comes through other girls who are victims of acid attack. The beautiful and cheerful 19-year-old Malti (Deepika Padukone) dreams of becoming a singer, but her life will never be the same after the inhuman acid attack by Bashir Khan aka Babu.

Police Investigation and Court-Court affair between brothers suffering from TV sickness at home, financially strapped parents and countless surgeries of Malati. One thing does not change between the disfigured face and all the taunts and scorn of society after the Tejabi attack and that is, the family’s support and lawyer Archana (Madhurjit Saraghi )’s the courage to bring justice to Malati. With the inspiration of Archana, she files a petition to ban acid. Malti’s face is snatched away in this hilarious journey, but no one can snatch her smile.

Meghna Gulzar’s quality as a director is that she has kept the story realistic. Nowhere does the tragedy of the acid attack be melodramatic or sensational. The first half of the film is definitely a little dull, but after the intermission, the events take their momentum. Meghna, who has directed successful and thought-provoking films like Talwar and Raji, has shot it as a documentary drama. Meghna also seems to attack the traditional notion of beauty.

Deepika’s prosthetic make-up as an acid Victim Survivor is commendable. Yes, there are some questions that remain unanswered. The title track ‘Chhapak’ has become heart touching in the music of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. If Deepika Padukone is called the soul of the film, then it will not be an exaggeration. Posing as an actress and actress with an acid burn can only be said to be a bold move for a heroin-like her, but she has brought to life the role of Malti.

Many of the scenes played by him squeeze your heart. In one scene, placing her imitation jewelry and clothes in a bag, she says, ‘No nose nor ear, where will I hang these earrings mother?’ Vikrant Messi has brought his role to life. They should have been given more screen space. Madhurjit Sargi has played a superb role in the role of Loire Archana. The supporting cast of Chhapaak has done full justice to their roles.

Police said that the suspect claimed he only attempted to rape her, but the extent of the assault will only be clear once the victim’s autopsy report comes out.

“Although the accused said that he tried to rape the girl and killed her by strangling her, we are waiting for her autopsy report to confirm sexual assault and the exact cause of death. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita’s sections of murder, along with sections under the Pocso Act, have been added to the first information report (FIR),” said a senior police officer, who asked not to be named.

The search continued till Tuesday morning. Around 9am, the girl’s semi-naked body was found tied to the window at an abandoned building. The girl’s payjamas were used to hang her,” the officer added.

A second senior officer, who also requested anonymity, said that the vacant building where the crime happened was nearly 400 metres away from the girl’s residence.

“In one of the footage, the girl was seen walking with him. He was taken into custody, interrogated, and confronted with the CCTV footage after which he confessed to the crime. He said that he lured the girl to the abandoned building and tried to sexually assault her. When the girl screamed, he panicked and strangled her with his hands. He then used her payjamas to tie her body to make it look like a case of suicide,” the second officer added.

A statement issued by Station Commander, Delhi Cantonment, said the army authorities were extending their support in the investigation.

“The local military authorities are extending full support to the grieving family during this difficult time and cooperating closely with the police, who are conducting a thorough investigation into the matter. Our thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved family, and we remain in constant touch with them to provide any assistance they may require,” the statement said.

Soon after the girl’s body was found, her family members, along with 50-60 people, gathered at the service road of the NH48 (Delhi-Gurugram highway) near the Shankar Vihar Military Station gate and blocked traffic, demanding justice for the victim. The protesters alleged that the girl was raped and murdered and blamed the authorities for “slow action”.
