CHHAPAAK collected a poor 5 crore nett in its second week which took its two week total to 31.75 crore nett. The film dropped over 80% in its second week and although the blame of its failure is being put on a controversy surrounding the film, its the content that has failed badly.

CHHAPAAK is that rare loser for the industry which will lose money. The flop count is huge for the industry but most films with good set ups recover or make profits due to satellite and digital despite being flops. Like last year only PAGALPANTI and PANIPAT come to mind out of the major releases which lost money though theatrically there were many flop films.

CHHAPAAK will put its investors in the red with even with satellite and digital and it needed to do 10-15 crore nett more at the box office which actually should not have been too hard even with below average content. But the the content was bad and not engaging and on top you clash with a big film like TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR. A solo date could have meant the film doing 30-35% more.

The collections of CHHAPAAK till date are as follows.
Week One - 25,61,00,000 
Friday - 75,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 1,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

Second Week - 5,10,00,000 apprx 
TOTAL - 30,71,00,000 apprx

GOOD NEWWZ is now comfortably beating CHHAPAAK despite being in its fourth week. GOOD NEWWZ should collect around 5.50 crore nett over its fourth week while the collections of CHHAPAAK will be around 5 crore nett.

GOOD NEWWZ is now the second highest Akshay Kumar grosser in India at 193 crore nett (25 days) and is the highest Overseas grosser at 297 crore (25 days). In East Punjab it is the top grosser of 2019 with 27 crore nett apprx. CHHAPAAK still has not reached the 30 crore nett mark and is probably looking at a 32 crore nett max finish now and worldwide it will probably fall short of the 50 crore mark unless Overseas has some some collections in the third weekend.

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

CHHAPAAK fell apart in the second weekend as it collected only 3.50 crore nett and is yet to even hit the 30 crore nett mark in ten days. The collections over the second weekend were less than GOOD NEWWZ which was in its fourth weekend and also the new Hollywood release DOLITTLE  which collected around 5 crore nett. Not only that, a film like JAI MUMMY DI was beating it many centres of North.

The ten day collections of the film are 29.25 crore nett and after two weeks the film will probably be standing at around 31 crore nett which makes the 35 crore nett mark an impossible task. The business of the film is awful all over with West Bengal being the only circuit with respectable numbers. TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR not doing well in West Bengal probably helped the film a little in that circuit.

The collections of CHHAPAAK till date are as follows.

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 footfalls 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
--------------------------
CHHAPAAK crashed further on its second Friday with collections of just 75 lakhs nett. The film crashed 40% on Thursday and has gone down another 40% of Friday. Not only that a film like JAI MUMMY DI is actually collecting better in most stations of Delhi and Punjab which is a bit embarrassing for a major release like CHHAPAAK as JAI MUMMY DI is one of those films which go unnoticed. Also on top of that, CHHAPAAK is a concept film which is actually supposed to come into its own post the first weekend but its a totally different for this film as its crashed out post the weekend.

The total collections of the film are now 26.5 crore and it should be able to cross the 30 crore nett mark at the end of week two but that will be about it and nothing much coming after.

The collections of CHHAPAAK till date are as follows.
