Chandu Champion, directed by Kabir Khan, has grossed 2.85 crores at the Indian box office on Tuesday. The film, starring Kartik Aaryan, Vijay Raaz, and Rajpal Yadav, has a total collection approaching 30 crores. By the end of its first week, its earnings are projected to reach around 34 crores. Weeks 2 and 3 will be critical for Chandu Champion to exceed 50 crores in revenue.
The success of Chandu Champion depends on its ability to retain viewers over the coming weeks, as it faces competition from other releases like Munjya, Inside Out 2, and Ishq Vishk. The film's low opening day collections present a challenge, but Tuesday's hold on percentage terms indicates positive audience reception.
Kartik Aaryan's next theatrical release will be Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a Diwali release that is expected to generate a stronger opening than Chandu Champion. A strong opening for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 could provide support for Chandu Champion's box office performance.
Chandu Champion, a biopic of Indian Paralympian Murlikant Petkar, depicts his journey from aspiring Olympic wrestler to renowned paralympian swimmer. Despite his achievements, Petkar's story remained largely unknown until he filed a case against the President of India for not receiving the Arjuna Award.
The film explores Petkar's quest for recognition and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity. Chandu Champion is available in theaters now, and viewers can book tickets to experience the inspiring journey of one of India's most decorated Paralympians.
