Through Malti\u2019s story, the film makes an attempt to understand the on-ground consequences of surviving an acid attack in India, the medico-legal-social state of affairs that transpire after the acid has been hurled and the face is irreparably burnt.<\/p>\n<p>As we closely follow Malti\u2019s life over the years from her attack, we journey with her through her rehabilitation, her facial surgeries, her legal battle against her attacker and her constant struggle to become economically independent.<\/p>\n<p>In this time, Malti also joins a campaign against Acid violence and comes across other victims of Acid attacks as well. Here she also meets Amol, the founder of the campaign.<br \/>\nAn emotional attachment forms between the two \u2013 an inexplicable bond, free from the conforms of society.<\/p>\n<p>But it is Malti\u2019s game-changing PIL in the Supreme Court of India, with her lawyer Archana Bajaj, that inspires the Judiciary to amend to the laws on acid violence in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Acid attack is granted its own legal section in the Indian Penal Code (Section 326 A, IPC) and the sale of acid is also regulated in the country, as a result of Malti\u2019s PIL. All these narratives intertwined, make Chhapaak a gritty investigative piece \u2013 interspersed with a compelling courtroom drama and woven together around a deeply emotional core.<\/p>\n<p>Above it all, Chhapaak is a story of triumph\u2026 of the unquashable human spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Directed by: MEGHNA GULZAR Produced by: FOX STAR STUDIOS\u00a0 DEEPIKA PADUKONE-KA PRODUCTIONS\u00a0 GOVIND SINGH SANDHU &amp; MEGHNA GULZAR- MRIGA FILMS<br \/>\nWritten by: ATIKA CHOHAN, MEGHNA GULZAR Starring: DEEPIKA PADUKONE, VIKRANT MASSEY<br \/>\nReleasing on: 10TH JANUARY 2020<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RIAZ K AHMED-P.R.O.
