Kartik Aaryan’s ‘Chandu Champion’ Flops Spectacularly with â‚č4 Crore Opening, Marking His Worst Start in 8 Years

Good day, my lovely Bollywood aficionados! Your favorite cynical snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, is back with the latest scoop from the glittery yet often baffling world of Bollywood. Grab your popcorn and brace yourselves for a rollercoaster of sarcasm and wit! 🎬

Kartik Aaryan’s Not-So-Grand Opening: Chandu Champion Stumbles Out of the Gate 📉

Oh, Kartik Aaryan, what happened? Your new film Chandu Champion barely managed to scrape together a measly â‚č4 crore on its opening day. That’s not just low, that’s subterranean! The last time Kartik saw numbers this dismal was back in 2017 with Guest in London. And let’s not even get started on how Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) shot you to fame with â‚č6.42 crore. Ah, the good old days! 😏

But wait, there’s more! We had Luka Chuppi (2019) bringing in â‚č8.01 crore and Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019) charming audiences with â‚č9.10 crore. Even the critically roasted Love Aaj Kal (2020) managed to open at â‚č12 crore. That’s right, folks, even a film that was universally panned did better. Ouch!

And let’s not forget your post-pandemic miracles. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) revived our faith in Bollywood with a smashing â‚č14.11 crore opening. Even the flop Shehzada (2023) managed a respectable â‚č6 crore. And Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023) with â‚č8.25 crore? Not bad at all. So, what gives, Kartik? Did the stars misalign, or was it just a bad horoscope day? đŸ€·â€â™€ïž

A Little About Chandu Champion

Directed by Kabir Khan and produced by the dynamic duo, Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan, Chandu Champion narrates the inspirational journey of an athlete. Kartik Aaryan dons the role of Chandu, inspired by Murlikant Petkar, India’s first Paralympic gold medalist in freestyle swimming. The film also features Shreyas Talpade, Rajpal Yadav, and the ever-versatile Vijay Raaz.

Now, Kabir Khan’s last venture, 83, didn’t exactly set the box office on fire, thanks to the omicron wave crashing the party in 2021. Headlined by Ranveer Singh, it underperformed, leaving Kabir to redeem himself with Chandu Champion. Well, better luck next time, Kabir! 😬

Nisha’s Nutshell

In the crazy, topsy-turvy world of Bollywood, where one day you’re a hero and the next you’re a zero, the only thing certain is uncertainty. So, here’s my nugget of wisdom: When in doubt, blame the stars – both the celestial ones and the ones on the screen! 🌟
