Guess who’s back with a bang? *Chandu Champion*! Kartik Aaryan’s latest flick has debuted at a modest Rs. 5.40 crores. But before you go breaking out the popcorn, let’s talk ticket prices. They were slashed to a mere Rs. 150 for the opening day! That’s right, practically half of what you’d usually drop at a multiplex. So while the revenue is a bit on the lighter side, the number of bums in seats was definitely higher. Tricky, huh? Trying to figure out if the glass is half full or half empty.
The real test comes today when tickets are back to their regular wallet-draining prices. If the numbers rise, and let’s face it, they should, it’s a clear sign that the audience is loving it. The critics are already on board – not a single naysayer in sight! The film, which is an inspiring saga, is quickly becoming the talk of the town. Positive word of mouth could be the secret sauce for packed houses.
So what’s the buzz for the weekend? If the trend continues, Kartik Aaryan, Kabir Khan, and Sajid Nadiadwala might just have a winner on their hands. *Chandu Champion* is a blend of class and mass appeal, the kind of mix that gets multiplexes buzzing. If all goes well, we might see a double-digit collection by Sunday. That could pave the way for a stellar Monday hold, setting the film on a golden path.
