Chappak Movie

Storyline of the movie:

The story is based on "Laxmi Agarwal's life". Who was 16years old, when met with acid attack, attacked by three assailants, one of which was  32years old, and he did so because once "Laxmi" had refused him, when he was trying to have romantic advances with her. Channeling anger into action, she turned adversity into advocacy and become a high profile campaigner for banning the sale of acid, and was entitled as "an international women of courage" in 2005 by "Michelle Obama".

ANALYSIS ON CHAPPAK MOVIE

THE MOVIE IS BASED ON "ACID ATTACK SURVIVOR".

• HOW SHE IS ATTACKED.

• HOW SHE HEAL HERSELF.

• THINKS FOR OTHERS'S FITTEST SURVIVAL.

• ULTIMATELY, HOW THE CULPRITS ARE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.

Concerning all the four points in mind, always in any movie there is a medium through whom the incident is getting public attraction / attention. Here an old man is depicted, who is trying to gain public's attention on a passport size photo. Which is actually of his own 'acid victim' daughter.

Many gives attention, many ignores. Reacts as a mad man is just passing by, don't know what has happened to him, just going on shouting and complaining for something.

While some understands, but can't either contribute in consolation or support as they know that "this is a particular tradition, which is constantly being hurled on a girl child and as no one is raising voice, how they can"....!!! And if perhaps they will, what would be the consequences, won't they be punished by the culprits, who are assumed to be much powerful than these poor people.

Actually isn't the case... The incident is somethingelse..let's see..

Malti (the acid attack survivor) already knows that now it has happened with her. So instead of crying on a particular thing, why not to uplift herself and answer those, who're responsible for her terrific situation. Which isn't suggesting her either way, but has made her traumatic as she can't even properly digest or just vomit the things. Rather has to seek for solution..

She determines that she should heal herself, and as her life is now beyond repair and it isn't reparable, then why to worry..? She can empower other women / girl child to be powerful and must fight against any intentional violent attack and in this way, she may have catharsis of the violence, underwent by her.

Eventually she joins an NGO COMPANY, runned by (Vikrant Massey),  a step towards upliftment is already being taken and about to transform adversity into advocacy. Ultimately brings those three assailants to justice and in this manner, the story gets end.

Hence we learnt here how a girl, who is very innocent, just come to know what is beauty, and her beauty is suddenly tainted.

Was she knowing that in coming time, something horrific is going to happen?

Her happiness will transform into darkness (gloom / bleakness)?

Her excitement will convert into silence?

Was she knowing everything....? No. But abruptly it happens, and changes her life, her motto of the life and her journey of the life..

Noone can predict for such gloomy journey..So how she can..!

How due to someone's jealousy, ignorance and false attitude, an innocent being has to endlessly suffer..! Without complaining or expecting anything, just has to fight for herself and seek solutions from the situations, which she is going to face.

She is getting her happiness in the form of life-partner but lastly and which is also indefinite, if it will last or not.

As we always say: "Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder"..

But literally is it so?

In this manner the story comes to an end. It is screened after the "Nirbhaya Rape Case" which is being given judiciary justification and the culprits are hanged to death.
