It looks like that a positive word-of-mouth is finally kicking in for Kartik Aaryan’s ‘Chandu Champion’. The Kabir Khan directorial, which released in cinemas on June 14, 2024, received rave reviews from critics. It seems finally these positive reviews are translating into good box office numbers.

After three days, the nett domestic collection of ‘Chandu Champion’ stands at Rs 21.75 crore. On Monday, ‘Chandu Champion’ is expected to perform decently well, owing to a holiday in some parts of the country due to Eid ul-Adha or Bakrid.
