Looks like the controversy surrounding Deepika’s visit to JNU might have affected the opening day collections of Meghna Gulzar's Chhapaak. It will be interesting to see if the word of mouth spreads and Chhapaak’s collections grow outside the multiplexes too on Sunday. Also, the competition fro Ajay Devgn’s Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior is likely to affect the weekend box office collections of Chhapaak. The film is based on the real-life story of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal played by Deepika Padukone.
