While some people appreciated Deepika Padukone for her move, others slammed her for making a "political statement" with her visit to the university and standing in solidarity with the students.
Deepika Padukone's visit to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) just a handful of days before her maiden production Chhapaak's release caused a lot of commotion among netizens.
While some people appreciated the actress for her move, others slammed her for making a "political statement" with her visit to the university and standing in solidarity with the students.
However, it looks as if the combat against her film is far from over as after several people's pledge to boycott her film, it has now been observed the IMDB rating for the film is also being attacked.
As per reports, the film's page on the website is full of negative reviews from multiple accounts. Out of 6900 votes, 4000 of them show the lowest ranking which has taken the film's rating down to 4.4 stars on the review aggregator website.
Meanwhile, this week's another big release Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior has 8.8 stars and has recorded 5800 votes out which 4300 gave the film a '10' star rating.
Deepika's visit to JNU received a lot of flak from a lot of people from different sections of the society and several Twitter users doubt whether Chhapaak’s ratings are not low only because of unhappy cinephiles but there is something more to it.
A similar situation was faced two years ago by director Anubhav Sinha for his film Mulk. He had also faced an attack on the film's IMDB rating and had tweeted at the time, "The IMDB rating of #MULK is being attacked. You know what? I don’t give a Flying F***!!! MULK has received too much love to worry about that. More people love the film. They will respond to you".
On the other hand, reports suggest that the Padmaavat actress has to even face repercussions from several brands as they are now looking for ways to deal with the situation which is often caused due to actors' stance on certain political issues.
