Kartik Aaryan’s film Chandu Champion made its theatrical debut on June 14, 2024, and received praise from audiences and critics. The film opened strongly at the box office, suggesting a promising start. However, Chandu Champion’s box office collection figures for day 5 suggest a noticeable decline, indicating a significant drop in its momentum.
Chandu Champion is based on the life story of Murlikant Petkar, who became India’s first Paralympic gold medalist. Remarkably, he achieved this greatness despite being physically challenged during the Indo-Pak war in 1965. The film aims to showcase the challenges faced by disabled individuals and celebrates Petkar’s extraordinary achievements.
After watching Chandu Champion, Murlikant Petkar himself lauded Kartik Aaryan’s performance in the film. In an interview with India TV, Petkar said, “This is a must-watch movie. This (Chandu Champion) depicts the real struggle of handicapped people. I would like to thank the PCI president for bringing the para-athletes for this premiere as it will give them inspiration to win gold for their country.”
