Kabir Khan Reflects on Chandu Champion Flop: ‘Viewers Can’t Get Enough on OTT!’ | Bollywood

Hello, my dear Bollywood ke deewano! It’s your favorite Bollywood snoop, Khabree Kiran, back at it again with the latest chugli from tinsel town! Buckle up, kyunki yeh news hai badi masaledaar! 😏

So, Kabir Khan’s latest flick, Chandu Champion, starring Kartik “Monalisa Smile” Aaryan, didn’t exactly set the box office on fire. 😬 Par chinta mat karo, doston! Kabir bhai is not losing sleep over it. Instead, he’s all about the "pyaar" from the audience and the legacy the film will leave behind.

Kabir’s Take on the Box Office Flop

In a recent chit-chat with Mid-day, Kabir Khan, who was strutting his stuff at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), opened up about the film’s box office flop. But, listen up, doston! Kabir is not letting the numbers get to him. Box-office figures? Haan, they matter, but they aren’t the be-all and end-all for him.

"A filmmaker who says box office doesn’t matter is lying. Of course, it matters. But it’s not the only measure of a film’s success," he said. Kabir is more interested in how much a film is remembered once the hype dies down. Aur suno, with Chandu Champion and even his earlier film 83, OTT viewings have been strong.

People are watching it again and again! Matlab, film ki legacy intact rehti hai. Kabir also shared an interesting tidbit: His first film, Kabul Express, was a box office dud, but even after 18 years, folks come up to him and say they loved it. So, it’s not always about the paisa, folks! 😜

Kartik and Kabir: Awards Ka Dhamaal!

At the film festival, Kartik and Kabir walked away with the Best Actor and Best Director awards. Kabir said the award felt special because it came from an international jury of celebrated filmmakers and critics. Validation mil gaya, bhai!

About the Film

Chandu Champion is a biopic on Murlikant Petkar, India’s first Paralympic gold medalist. Born in Maharashtra on November 1, 1944, Petkar was a multi-sport athlete, excelling in wrestling and hockey. This movie is also the first time Kartik and Kabir have worked together. And guess who produced this film? None other than Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan himself. Talk about a power-packed team! đŸ’„

Kiran’s Gyan: The Bollywood Mantra

Doston, Bollywood mein ek hi mantra hai: Jo dikhta hai, woh bikta hai. Lekin jo dil mein utar jaye, woh amar hota hai. So, remember, numbers might be glamorous, but true love from the audience? That’s priceless!

Till next time, keep the popcorn ready and the gossip hotter! đŸ”„
