Chandu Champion Movie Garners Impressive Opening Collection of 120 Crores at the Box Office

The highly anticipated sports biopic drama film ‘Chandu Champion‘ starring Kartik Aryan in the lead role has hit the theaters on June 14. The movie, based on the life of Paralympics Indian First Gold Medalist Murlikant Petkar, has received positive reviews since its first show and has started its box office journey with a respectable collection of Rs. 4.75 crores, as per trade analysts at Sacnilk.com.

On its first complete day, the film has managed to gross approximately 5 crore net in India. However, with an overall budget of 120 crores, the film needs to sustain its collections consistently to avoid disappointment.

Other cities like Bangalore, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Pune, and Kolkata have registered an occupancy of 12-17%. The box office numbers in these areas will determine the fate of ‘Chandu Champion’ movie.

Directed by Kabeer Khan, with production assistance from Sumit Arora and Sudipto Sarkar, the film has been produced collaboratively by Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabeer Khan. The film has been shot in London, Vayi, and Jammu & Kashmir.
