Chhapaak Trailer Review: After Padmaavat, Deepika has been away from silver screen. It has been almost 2 years now and Deepika is back with her promise of Chhapaak.
The Meghna Gulzar directed film has been making headlines ever since its announcement. The first look of Deepika as Malti – the acid attack survivor was released earlier this year and was received warmly by the audience.
Now the team Chhapaak is here with the trailer of the film.
The film is based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Aggarwal and I must say the trailer is successful in achieving its goal. The trailer is hard hitting, heart wrenching and extremely emotional which will make it tough for you to control tears.
Deepika as Malti does full justice to her character. From her prosthetics to her performance everything is on point and so perfect that it’s hard to not believe it. There are several moments featuring Deepika in the trailer which will stay with your for a long time and will leave a lasting impact on your mind. She’s a brilliant actor and she raises her graph with this one much more. Vikrant Massey is also promising as he has been seen in never before look. The kind of actor he is we can sure expect another beautiful performance from him.

Sehmat sacrifices her everything to move to Pakistan and spy for the intelligence bureau. Living amongst them, Sehmat every day risks her life to attain the confidential information in order to give India an upper edge in the upcoming war. Dodging the risk till what extent she succeeds, how her life changes with Iqbal who loves her truly and what all she goes through to protect the pride of her nation is what the main story is about.
Raazi Movie Review: Script Analysis
Towards the end of this film you’ll feel a sudden pain in your heart; all this is able because of Meghna Gulzar’s captivating narration and Alia Bhatt’s absorbing presence. Sehmat as a character is like a mosaic – created by colorful tiles of various emotions. Her character graph, from the girl who fears blood to someone who can do anything for her country, goes through different parameters ending on an unforgettable high.
Meghna succeeds to teleport you to the atmosphere designed by her for the film. Raazi is a powerful yet silent film, it speaks a lot without making much noise. First half takes enough time to build up the first base for the story and some serious trimming would’ve resulted in a pacy structure. Story set in 1971, Raazi is a precautionary tale of that one decision that changed the course of history.
Raazi Movie Review: Star Performance
Playing Sehmat is not about the maturity, it’s about the innocence; hence Raazi was impossible without Alia Bhatt. To portray the fear of getting killed all the time without overdoing it is what she has achieved. While Highway & Udta Punjab established her prowess, Raazi will take her to a different level.
Vicky Kaushal’s character Iqbal Syed is silent and subtle. It’s one of those roles in which you can’t impress by your corporeal existence but you need to do a lot by being stiff and firm. It’s tough to play such a role and Vicky yet again justifies his part.
Rajit Kapur as Alia Bhatt’s father has not much screen time but is an appropriate fit for the script. Shishir Sharma as Vicky Kaushal’s father is up to the mark and fills every blank space when it comes to portray the side of Pakistan. Jaideep Ahlawat as Khalid Mir stays honest to his character and delivers a fine performance. Amruta Khanvilkar as Munira looks eternally beautiful and does well.
