In Chhapaak first track Nok Jhok, we saw a sweet brewing romance between Deepika Padukone’s character Malti and Vikrant Massey’s character. The romantic track of the film touched our heart and their sweet chemistry melted our and made us forget about the sad and tragic incident that Malti went through. After a romantic number, the makers have now decided to release the hard-hitting title song, Chhapaak which tells us from where this is all started. A splash of acid and a scar that changed Malti’s life forever. This soulful track is crooned by the melodious singer Arijit Singh.
