Chandu Champion, the highly-anticipated biographical sports drama starring Kartik Aaryan, directed by Kabir Khan, has been making waves at the Indian box office. Released on June 14, the film is based on the inspiring life story of India’s first-ever Paralympics gold medallist and Padma Shri recipient, Murlikant Petkar. On its second day at the box office, Chandu Champion managed to collect a commendable ₹6.75 crore domestically, bringing its total to ₹13.2 crore according to early estimates.
Despite strong word-of-mouth reviews, the film fell short of achieving a double-digit figure on Saturday. However, it saw a growth of 42.59% and collected ₹7.70 crore, inching towards redeeming itself. With the extended Eid holiday weekend, Chandu Champion has two more promising days to capitalize on its critical acclaim and convert audience praise into big numbers.
Kartik Aaryan’s portrayal of Chandu, the determined athlete, has been lauded for his compelling performance in the film. The story delves into the grit and resilience of Murlikant Petkar, encapsulating his journey from a soldier to an inspiring swimmer. Alongside Aaryan, the film features a stellar cast including Vijay Raaz, Shreyas Talpade, and Rajpal Yadav.
The grand screening of Chandu Champion in Mumbai was a star-studded event with notable personalities like Vidya Balan, Ananya Panday, and Alaya F in attendance. The real-life hero, Murlikant Petkar, graced the occasion and shared an emotional moment with the cast and crew.
As the film continues its run at the box office, it faces tough competition from other releases like ‘Munjya.’ While the success of Chandu Champion remains to be seen in the coming days, the story of resilience and determination it portrays is resonating with audiences and critics alike.
