Kartik OUTSIDER Savior of Bollywood Failed again to Save

Chandu Champion Very Low First Day

Saturday 15 June 2024 11.30 ISTBox Office India Trade Network

Chandu Champion had a very low first day of around 4.25 crore nett as the film collelcted lower than day one of Munjya in most of the circuits. It was just a few select areas that were better like NCR, bigger centres of East Punjab and Mysore while the rest was generally lower. A CI where Kartik Aryan films do best and where no face value films find it tough had lower numbers than Munjya on day one which pretty much tells the story of Chandu Champion at the box office.

The industry had an awful Eid with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan and then it was a barren period with hardly any releases but films like Srikanth and Munjya surprised and pulled that period through but with the first major film Chandu Champion its back to square one with this opening. The flow of releases start from end of June and you just have to hope for better times because as if things continue like this then the releases will be even less than they are now.

The opening of Chandu Champion is no surprise as the trailer was bad which offered no entertaiment and devoid of music and the film looked in the zone of Maidaan so you knew it would be very limited interest but again the industry had expectations. One thing it may have had going for it is some pent up demand with so few releases over the last two months which may have pushed it a little but that also does not look there.

The opening of the film is pretty much on the lines of Maidaan which was released on a national holiday but clashed with a bigger film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and here Chandu Champion has to trend far better than Maidaan if it is to get out his hole.

Last week Munjya had a similar opening and has emerged a HIT but Chandu Champion is a far bigger film and should have some interest on day one itself if it is to get anywhere at the box office. The film now needs huge growth on Saturday just to stay in the race..

Opening Dekh lo OUTSIDER ki

Self made into Guy who makes consecutive Bakri Eid flops ? It’s gotta be better

Singham is apparently clashing with BB3. Khatam tata bye bye

You know what Radhe ji.....I didn't want this movie to fail.....because it is obvious that both Kartik and Kabir Khan put a lot of hard work in this movie......and it is sad to see anyone's hard work fail........but now I am reading that his fans are slowly and subtly starting to blame Ranbir and his PR for the opening and that stupid poster comparing to SSR......so now I really don't care.....

Sports drama don't work anymore. Maidaan, Ghoomer, 83 and this one all flopping despite good reviews.

Meh. Doesn’t matter. He’s still one of top hero’s the new lot, and certainly in a better position than Varun, Arjun and Tiger who haven’t delivered a hit in years.

the above 3 had good acting by the lead actors and quite entertaining too… this one, though well made, had some really unbearable and jarring acting by Karthik. Vijay Raaz was very good but there is only so much a supporting actor can contribute. Karthik should stick to luv ranjan brand of movies.

A movie named Chandu Champion deserves to fail.

I used to get the vibe he has been acting too big for his boots and will be humbled soon

bold: Absolutely not. He has acted very good in Freddy...but I guess, there, you may write the same. Is it that you dislike him? (kind question, no reproach or bashing you )
