Chandu Champion Lifetime Worldwide Box Office: Kartik Aaryan-Kabir Khan's film closes its curtains at Rs 87 crore
Chandu Champion, the first collaboration of Kartik Aaryan and Kabir Khan, ended its box office run on a disappointing note. The total worldwide cume of the biographical drama stands at Rs. 87 crore.
Chandu Champion, helmed by Kabir Khan and starring Kartik Aaryan in the lead, ended its theatrical run on a disappointing note, amassing Rs 87 crore globally. The biographical drama of Paralympic legend Muralikant Petkar found appreciation from the audience, but it failed to score a healthy number at the box office. The movie grossed Rs 73 crore in India, while overseas locations contributed a sum of USD 1.70M, which is Rs 14 crore as per Indian currency.
Chandu Champion curtails at Rs 60 crore net in India
The Kartik Aaryan starrer was touted to be among the dark horses of 2024; however, its box office performance was a significant letdown. The sports biopic took a dull opening of Rs 4.50 crore and managed to clock over Rs 20.75 crore net in the first three days. The fourth day of Chandu Champion coincided with the festive holiday of Bakri-Eid; however, the movie couldn't take much benefit, raking in over Rs 5 crore.
Aided with a Buy-One-Get-One offer in a few days, the movie netted over Rs 53.50 crore in its first two weeks, facing stiff competition with Munjya. The arrival of the pan-India big-spectacle Kalki 2898 AD in its third week almost curtailed its box office run. From there on, Chandu Champion could only add up another Rs 7 crore and ended its theatrical run at Rs 60 crore net in the domestic markets. The global theatrical share of the sports biopic stands at Rs 32 crore.
Kartik Aaryan-Kabir Khan film earns appreciation but not box office success
Kartik Aaryan earned much love from the audience for his portrayal of a real-life legend on-screen. His sheer dedication and physical transformation was lauded by the fans, but since the subject failed to lure a large section of movie lovers, Chandu Champion flopped at the ticket window.
After Ranveer Singh's 83, it is the second sports-based movie for Kabir Khan. However, both the movies underperformed at the box office and ended up being failures. Bankrolled by Nadiadwala Grandson, the movie is now available to rent on Amazon Prime. It is reportedly gearing up for its rent-free release on the streaming platform from August 9th.
