Chalk N Duster Creates A Stir On Social Media

The makers of recently released Juhi Chawla Mehta & Shabana Azmi starrer didn’t see this coming. It’s a win-win situation with the Box office collections rising over the weekend through word of mouth publicity moreover the actors have been flooded with messages from their fans claiming that they have tried to reach out to their teachers.  One of the popular hashtags used is #ToOurTeachersWithLove & results have been more than overwhelming as the message the movie portrayed has been successfully instilled in the minds of the audiences taking social media by storm posting touching messages & anecdotes for their teachers.

The team had previously arranged for a special screening for over 500 teachers across Mumbai who also shared their stories with the team of Chalk N Duster. Producer Amin Surani shares, ‘ We had a 75 year old lady who used to be a school principal, she thanked us for making a film on this subject & shared she visits the school till date. This is the exact success we were looking for. Writer Ranjeev Verma's wife & co-writer Neetu is a teacher & she was extremely thrilled how some of her students who had watched the movie greeted her. We’d never imagined we would be able to touch lives of all these people through the film.’

Juhi Chawla adds, ‘Also whats interesting is that the students are trying to look up the internet to find their teachers. If any teacher is reading this who is not on social media, knows what to do next.’
