Kartik Aaryan and Kabir Khan’s Chandu Champion is still fighting at the box office, but its numbers are constantly remaining low. The box office trackers reveal that the film earned ₹2 crore net in India on Day 12. As a result, the film’s total earnings now amount to ₹53 crore.
When the film opened with a low number on its first day, the trade experts and the film team believed it would see an upward trend in the collections as it received positive reviews. However, except for a few days, Chandu Champion never was able to get going at the box office. Potential reasons for this could be the modest advertising efforts for the film, the general disinterest in sports biopics, and the influence of the film’s soundtrack on its overall reception.
Despite receiving positive feedback from viewers and critics, the film failed to significantly impact the box office. Kartik’s performance in the movie is being lauded as his best work yet, while Kabir’s direction is also being highly praised. Based on a true story, the film follows the extraordinary life of Murlikant Petkar, a soldier and athlete who won India’s first Paralympic gold medal in 1972. His incredible journey to success was kept hidden until he finally received the recognition he deserved. Once its theatrical run ends, the eagerly anticipated ‘Chandu Champion’ will be available for streaming on a digital platform. There are rumors that the sports drama will premiere on Amazon Prime Video, but the producers have not confirmed this officially. The exact release date of the film on an OTT platform remains unknown.
