Chhapaak¡¯s IMDb Rating Drops After 4000 People Give 1-Star Rating, Twitter Suspects Foul Play
#BoycottChhapaak became a trend on social media. The film in fact became a rallying point for opposition parties. Congress ruled states of Puducherry Madhya Pradesh Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh declared the film tax-free.
Incredibly courageous, soul stirringly, uplifting, beautiful -- that's how people described Deepika Padukone's Chhapaak. While celebrities were all praises, the movie became the target of trolls after Deepika joined the students of JNU at protests. So much so, that #BoycottChhapaak became a trend on social media.

The film, in fact, became a rallying point for opposition parties. While Samajwadi Party organized a special show for its party workers in Lucknow, Congress distributed free tickets of the film. Today, Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) booked a show of Chhapaak in Meerut for friends and family.

Amid all this, Chhapaak¡¯s IMDb rating has declined severely, and people have been suspecting a foul play here.
Out of 6,900 total votes that the movie has received, 4,000 have one-star rating. With this, Chhapaak's IMDb rating out of 10 is 4.4 stars.
Never underestimate the power of sad men in large numbers, rejected by women, who suddenly find an ideology that encourages hate. pic.twitter.com/da8Exiw9QP

Its a shame that such a brilliant movie based on a great social cause is getting eclipsed by parochial mindsets.

Bhakts at it again. #Chhapaak is 4.3 on IMDB. Compare this to Tanhaji which is 9.0 currently. What else can you expect from such lowlifes? pic.twitter.com/A85p2ByccA

On the other hand, Ajay Devgn¡¯s Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior has 8.8 star rating with 5,800 total votes. Over 4000 people have given it a 10 star rating.
#Bhakts seem to have attacked the IMDb ratings of #Chhapaak as well; the reviews look diametrically opposed. I think this is better than a 4.2 rated movie. Maybe if more real ratings come in then it would show... Anyway, I'm a fan @deepikapadukone and will watch the movie soon

While Deepika Padukone's Chhapaak has so far minted Rs 19.02 crore in three days, Ajay Devgn¡¯s Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior has collected Rs 26.08 crores.
For the unversed, a day before Chhapaak's commercial release across the country, the Congress ruled states of Puducherry, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh declared the film tax-free in their respective states.
