Chup Box Office Collection: Dulquer Salmaan and Sunny Deol thriller Chup: Revenge of the Artist opened to great reviews. The film, directed by R Balki, clashed with Kookie Gulati's Dhokha Round D Corner. Initially buoyed by the reduced ticket prices on National Cinema Day, Chup witnessed great business due to positive word of mouth. However, the film dropped drastically in its first week and over the weekend, it will get more difficult for the film to pick up with big releases like Ponniyin Selvan and Vikram Vedha. The movie depicts the pain of an artist who suffers from bad criticism and negative reviews.
