Chhapaak, starring Deepika Padukone as the protagonist, is having a tough run at the box office. The Meghna Gulzar directed film, on Tuesday, fell flat at the ticket windows as it added around Rs 3 crore to its kitty, boxofficeindia.com reports. After a five-day run in cinemas, its total collection stands at about Rs 24 crore.The trending is simply disastrous as compared to Deepika Padukone's previous films Padmaavat (2018) and Bajirao Mastani (2015).

"The film is going to be one of those rare films that will actually lose money joining Pagalpanti and Panipat in recent times. It wont lose as much as those films but a 5-7 crore loss looks on the cards due to the rejection of the content", BOI report says.

Chhapaak is directed by Meghna Gulzar and is also Deepika's first work as a producer. The film features her character being attacked who couldn't cope with the rejection of his advances.
