Kartik Aaryan’s sports biopic Chandu Champion has triumphed, surpassing the impressive ₹40cr milestone in domestic box office earnings. Despite the fierce competition from Maddock Films’ horror-comedy Munjya, the movie, under the skilled direction of Kabir Khan, is holding its ground. Trade experts have noted a slight surge in revenue on the ninth day, with the film amassing ₹4 cr and reaching a total collection of ₹43cr for nine Days, a testament to its growing success.
By all means, this is an apparent underperformance from Chandu Champion. Coming from a director like Kabir Khan and made with a substantial budget, the film got to a moderate start and saw a bit of a rise in the numbers on day 2 and day 3, only to maintain a consistent average turnaround after the weekend. Kartik Aaryan’s performance made the critics give a big thumbs up to the film, but Chandu Champion failed to get to the next stage, and by looking at the current trend, the film might end up earning 50-55 Cr in its lifetime, according to the box office trackers.
Chandu Champion, directed by Kabir Khan, is a biographical film that revolves around the life of Murlikant Petkar, a highly regarded Paralympic gold medalist. The movie is a collaborative effort between Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Kabir Khan Films, featuring notable actors such as Kartik Aaryan, Vijay Raaz, Bhagyashree Patwardhan, and Rajpal Yadav. Chandu Champion has garnered praise for its portrayal of resilience and unwavering determination. During a screening in Delhi, the depiction of Murlikant Petkar’s life on screen deeply moved him, showcasing the film’s emotional impact.
