Chandu Champion box office Day 6: Kartik Aaryan’s film holds steady, earns Rs 32 crore
Chandu Champion Box Office Collection: Kartik Aaryan’s sports drama film has maintained the momentum at the ticket counters. It has earned over Rs 32 crore in six days.
Kartik Aaryan’s latest sports drama, Chandu Champion, has been garnering positive reviews since its release on June 14. The Kabir Khan-directed film has been maintaining momentum at the ticket counters on weekdays, which could help it pick up momentum in its upcoming second weekend.
According to industry tracker Saccanilk, the film earned Rs 3 crore on its sixth day in theatres on Wednesday, June 19. Now, Chandu Champion’s total domestic box office collection stands at Rs 32.75 crore. The film’s overall occupancy in the Hindi speaking market on Wednesday was 13.45 per cent, with the maximum number of viewers arriving in the night shows.
‘Chandu Champion’ grossed Rs 4.75 crore in theatres on Friday, followed by Rs 7 crore and Rs 9.75 crore on Saturday and Sunday respectively. The film performed well on its first Monday due to Eid holiday in most parts of the country and earned Rs 5 crore.
However, the film’s director Kabir Khan recently spoke about his film’s slow start at the box office. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kabir Khan was asked if he could figure out what went wrong with Chandu Champion’s initial collections.
He replied, “It’s too early to say what the reasons are, but after Covid, it has become very difficult to analyse logically in terms of behaviour. The opening was definitely below our expectations because of the underwhelming response to the trailer and the songs that were released. So it could have been expected that the opening would be a little better, but it didn’t happen the way we wanted it to.”
Chandu Champion is based on the real-life story of India’s first Paralympic gold medalist Murlikant Petkar. It also stars Vijay Raj and Rajpal Yadav in lead roles.
