Chappak box office collection day 2: Deepika Padukone starrer witnesses upward trend, strong at multiplexes

Chappak box office collection day 2: Deepika Padukone starrer Chappak has released to a rather dull response by earning around Rs 4.77 crore on Friday but witnessed an upward trend on Saturday due to its decent performance at premium multiplexes. The film managed Rs 6.90 crore on its second day of release. However, has failed to do well beyond metros. Sunday will be important for Meghna Gulzar directorial if it aims to register an impressive lifetime collection. 

"#Chappak witnesses an upward trend on Day 2, but the 2-day total is underwhelming... Decent at premium multiplexes, but unable to connect *and* collect beyond metros... Needs to cover lost ground on Day 3... Fri 4.77 cr, Sat 6.90 cr. Total: ₹ 11.67 cr. #India biz," movie critic, business analyst and influencer Taran Adarsh tweeted on Sunday afternoon.

The film's box office collection is likely to get a boost from the fact that it was declared tax free in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. The decision to declare the Meghna Gulzaar direcetd film tax-free in Rajasthan was taken late on Friday night.

"We are happy to declare `Chhapaak` a tax-free film. People have welcomed the decision of exempting this film from the tax bracket. The film shall be an eye opener," Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said on Saturday.

The film is based on the life of the acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. It competes against Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan's big budget Tanhaji.
