Chhapaak is a big FLOP as it grossed under 26 crore nett in the first week. The film was doing poor business and it CRASHED on Thursday when the holiday factor went out of the equation. There are not many major films that lose money today due to revenue from satellite and television but Chhapaak will be one of those rare losers

The failure of the film is being blamed on the controversy around Deepika Padukone visits to a college in Delhi which got bad publicity and an image of a bad PR exercise but it has not failed due to that but because of the content. The film only needed 40-50 lakh footfalls to be a success or even a hit and a controversy cant stop a film getting that much footfalla if the film is genuinely good. Maybe if you needed 1 crore or more footfalls then the controversy could have been an issue. The rejection is across the board with even the high end multiplexes in metros having poor collections. Its so bad that the second Friday could be lower than the fourth Friday of a holdover release like Good Newwz.  The collections of Chhapaak till date are as follows.

Friday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 7,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 25,75,00,000 apprx
