For the uninitiated, 'Chhapaak' is inspired from acid-attack survivor Laxmi Agarawal. Laxmi was 15 when the attack occurred, which was at a New Delhi bus stop in 2005. Her attacker, a 32-year old man, was an acquaintance of her family. Later, she took up the job of helping acid attack survivors and promoted campaigns to stop such attacks. Agarwal is a well-known advocate of stricter punishments in acid attack cases. The film is getting positive response from critics as well as audience and it needs to remain steady at the box-office to deliver a good total at the end of its theatrical run.
