A young woman tries to rebuild her life after a man throws acid in her face on a public street in New Delhi in 2005.

Aparita Bhandari

Globe and Mail

Graceful direction and a mature performance by a Bollywood A-lister, surrounded by a strong supporting cast, come together to make an uplifting movie.

Rated: 3.5/4

Variety

Director Meghna Gulzar and Indian superstar Deepika Padukone are affecting without excess in this fact-based drama about the aftermath of a horrible crime.

Film Companion

Chhapaak is powered by good intentions and progressive messaging but the film is undermined by a flawed screenplay.

Meghna Gulzar documents Chhapaak's grim reality barefacedly without losing sight of its character's quiet determination to fight the reasons that make such heinous crimes possible in the first place.

Like everything else in Chhapaak, the romance between Amol and Malti... takes its time to evolve. But when it does, the director is at her very best.

Rated: 3/5

The Quint

However, despite these effective performances it seems like the film has nothing to say post interval. Although Deepika "looks" her part as the acid attack survivor, the events seem more like a reconstruction rather than a comprehensively built story.

Rated: 3/5

Don’t trust the low rating reviews, they’re left by people with a political affiliation different to that of the main lead actress. This movie is great and a must watch. It makes you empathize and see life from a survivors view. Acting is superb.

Mind blowing script! Great content. It is a lot to digest but is truly a piece of work that should not be missed.
