When doctors put water on Malti

Chhapaak is based on the life of Laxmi Agarwal, an acid attack survivor. Deepika’s character in the film has been named as Malti. The sequence where doctors are putting water on her looks like a scene after the attack took place. Deepika is excellent in the scene making us feel the pain the character is going through.

When Malti sees her face for the first time post-acid attack

In the background, we hear a character saying, “It’s important ke Malti ab sirf apna naya chehra dekhe surgery ke baad.” But well, we get to see a scene where Malti sees her face for the first time after the attack and the way she shouts it will surely scare you.

When Malti decides to pack her jewellery

In a scene, Malti is seen trying to wear some jewellery post the attack, but she can’t and she starts putting the jewellery in a bag, to which a character asks her, “Sab kuch hie rakh degi kya.” Malti replies, “Naak nahi hai, kaan nahi hai, jhumke kaha latkaongi.” The scene clearly shows the emotional pain that an acid attack victim goes through.

When a child gets scared after seeing Malti

In a scene, Malti is seen looking at a kid who is planting a tree, but when the kid looks at her, he gets scared and shouts loudly. Malti who was smiling looking at the kid gets shocked.

When Malti takes off the dupatta from her face

The last scene in the trailer is when Malti is walking out of the court and she takes off the dupatta from her face with the dialogue in the background, “Unhone meri soorat badly hai, mera mann nahi.”  You would surely like to applaud the courage of Malti here…

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
