Filmmaker Kabir Khan's directorial 'Chandu Champion' starring Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan in the lead hit the screens on Friday. The movie is based on India's first Paralympic gold medalist, Murlikant Petkar. The film had a slow start at the box office despite getting largely positive reviews. The film collected Rs 5.4 crore on day 1.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to X (formerly Twitter) to share box office update of the film. "#ChanduChampion was expected to start slow and its Day 1 numbers have opened on expected lines… While morning shows were way below the mark, the evening shows did witness some improvement, especially at urban centres.
