CHANDU CHAMPION went down 10% on Wednesday as it collected 2.75 crore nett taking its six day number to 31.50 crore nett. The film had a dull opening which is still okay if the content works. But here, the weekdays are also just meandering along. The fact that a film like MUNJYA is just 2-3 crore nett behind despite being in week two with far less screens pretty much tells the box office picture of this film. 

The film should easily beat the numbers of MAIDAAN which was a similar film but will remain well behind SAM BAHADUR which was another film in this zone. Also both MAIDAAN and SAM BAHADUR clashed with bigger films while CHANDU CHAMPION is a solo release.

CHANDU CHAMPION struggled in its first week with collections of 34 crore nett with basically the weekdays just not being a good enough with low collections. The film has not fared well like so many films post the pandemic but the difference here is that from day one, there was an attempt to call it a good film through the media. This was despite its impending fate which the trailer itself sort of said and the reports on day one compounded that.

This used to happen a lot of before the pandemic but is less frequent now and the last time this happened with a major film which did not work with the audience but was attempted to be made out to be a good film was 83 and and now its CHANDU CHAMPION. The audience mandate is pretty clear for both films and its not about being good but probably which is worse.

In the case of 83, it was not just the media but the industry also going crazy over a film which was on course to become a disaster. Here its more the media than the industry. Hence, some sense maybe coming in here as its probably the only industry in India where so may FLOP films are called good. The industry is at its worst point ever and things will hardly get better if bad cinema is thought to be good cinema.

There is MUNJYA running alongside CHANDU CHAMPION which clearly spells it out. If CHANDU CHAMPION is good cinema, then MUNJYA can probably be called an All Time Classic or a SHOLAY of the modern era. Also the first week box office of CHANDU CHAMPION comes with the various methods to push it up which is not just the problem with this film but with so many of them post the pandemic and without this aid, the collections would have been even lower.

The daily collections of CHANDU CHAMPION till date are below.

Friday - 4,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

CHANDU CHAMPION collected 2.50 crore nett on its second Friday which is similar to the Thursday. There was no release major release with ISHQ VISHK REBOUND being the main film and so, its par for the course. A healthy jump in collections on second Friday could have changed the scenario a little but that was never likely looking at the weekday trend.

The problem for the film remains the low numbers and it has only 37.50 crore nett up on the board and another five days before KALKI 2898 AD arrives. CHANDU CHAMPION will comfortably cross the 50 crore nett mark and it remains to be seen if it can get over 60 crore nett although it hardly matters as the result is the same.

ISHQ VISHK REBOUND collected 1 crore nett on the first day which has mainly come because of some decent music as film does not look much. ISHQ VISHK was released in 2003 and fared decently but its not a film that probably have very little brand value today. The film has nowhere to go as there is Kalki 2898 AD next week. Nevertheless, it has managed some footfalls on day one.
