Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior's Box Office Report

Meghna Gulzar directed Chhapaak is based on the real-life incident of acid attack survivor, Laxmi Agarwal. The film was majorly in the news especially after Deepika's presence at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) for some time. Even though she did not speak a word here, she stood in solidarity with the students and this created a debate on social media.

Trolls even chanted the '#BoycottChapaak mantra on Twitter, urging the fans to opt to watch Tanhaji instead. While some termed as a positive step from a mainstream actress like her, others called it a PR gimmick. Despite rave positive reviews, Chhapaak is as of now lacking behind in terms of the box office competition, which is probably inevitable. Stay tuned with us for more updates.
