The real life drama had a low weekend, though it managed a decent Sunday with a significant jump from Saturday. The Eid holiday helped on Monday, and the Kabir Khan directorial earned the same amount as it did on Friday.
According to Sacnilk, Chandu Champion is expected to collect Rs 4.75 crore with an overall 20 percent occupancy, taking its 4-day total to Rs 26.25 crore.
From fans to critics, members of the film industry and audiences, Kartik has been receiving praise from all corners of the world. Veteran actor Shabana Azmi too appreciated Kartik.
Sharing a picture with Kartik from the screening of the film, Shabana Azmi took to Instagram and wrote, “I was deeply moved by #Kabir Khans film #ChanduChampion and I loved #Kartik Aryans portrayal . He played it with an almost child determination with an extremely winsome smile which prevented him from projecting it as arrogance .#Vijay Rasz as the coach is v effective. It’s a real life story and I say Salaam kabir for making it his lifetime so he got to watch it with his family. Here am I with Kaartilk at a special screening organised by #Excel Entertainment.”
The image saw Shabana showering love on Kartik with a kiss on his cheek. Reposting Shabana’s post, Kartik thanked her, saying “Mujhe Meri Eidi Mil Gayi Every word you said feels like a medal for me.”
Chandu Champion is inspired by the life of India’s first Paralympic gold medallist Murlikant Petkar. The Hindi film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala’s banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Kabir Khan Films.
