Well, here are five scenes from the trailer that will surely give you goosebumps…


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…

Why British folk singer Deepa Shakthi believes music should be messy, raw and free from follower-driven rules

Highlights

  • Turn O Spinning Wheel fuses English folk, Indian ragas and Sufi improvisation.
  • Deepa Shakthi slams the industry’s obsession with follower counts and clout.
  • Producer Stuart McCallum guided the band towards minimalism and focus.
  • The album spans reworked folk, Punjabi songs, qawwali and raga Jog.

At first, Deepa Shakthi wasn’t sure. A 2023 UK tour with Mishra, playing British folk mixed with her Indian classical voice, didn’t sound like the easiest fit. They were taking their fusion of Indian classical and British folk to rural corners of the UK; to Cornwall, to New Mills, places where, as she puts it, people aren’t exposed to this sound every day.

“I was very reticent. I was very kind of… anxious inside.”
