Chandu Champion Nets Impressive Rs 5 Crores on Eid Monday
Directed by Kabir Khan and starring Kartik Aaryan, Chandu Champion witnessed a surge in earnings on Eid Monday, netting Rs 5 crores. Its collections surpassed the opening day's takings, indicating a positive trend. The film's four-day total now stands at over Rs 25 crores, with projections of a first-weekend gross of Rs 33-34 crores.
Despite receiving favorable reviews, Chandu Champion has fallen short of expectations for a film featuring an A-list star and director. Notably, rival film Munjya has reported comparable figures on its second Monday and may even exceed Chandu Champion on Tuesday due to its robust performance in mass markets.
Fate Hinges on Second and Third Week Performances
The success of Chandu Champion now rests on its ability to sustain momentum during weeks 2 and 3. The release of Kalki 2898 AD may pose a challenge, but the film has the potential to gross around Rs 60 crores, which would be a respectable result considering its modest opening.
Kartik Aaryan Moves On to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
Following Chandu Champion, Kartik Aaryan will take on the lead role in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The Diwali release is expected to outperform the former, providing the actor with the strong opening he seeks after Chandu Champion.
