    Fantastic work by Karthik

    I genuinely urge you to catch this movie in theaters for an incredible experience that promises not just entertainment but also profound inspiration and motivation. I attended the first-night show and was completely swept away-despite not shedding a tear all year, I found myself moved to tears four times during the film. It's a powerful story that touches the heart and soul, resonating deeply with its emotional depth and compelling narrative. The theater ambiance amplifies the emotions, making it a truly immersive and unforgettable cinematic journey. Don't miss out on this opportunity to be moved, inspired, and captivated by a film that delivers on every level.

    One Man Show Of Kartik Aryan 🔥🔥🔥🔥

    *** Chandu Champion Hindi Movie Review ***

    Directed by Kabir Khan starring Kartik Aaryan in the lead role.

    Kartik's one man show accelerates the gravity of the story.

    The movie shows the journey of Murlikant Petkar an ex army officer who won the Gold Medal in 1972 Paralympics in Heidelberg Germany.

    Apart from Kabir Khan , Sumit Arora & Sudipto Sarkar had penned and the trio had given some cinematic moments which gives the audience an energy , a booster.

    Performance wise , from Rom - com image today after Chandu Champion, Kartik has opened himself to perform challenging roles, thereby creating a strong space in the industry. He just lived into the character of Murlikant Petkar.

    #VijayRaaz as Murlikant Petkar's coach was another remarkable performance. I had seen his comic version in Dream Girl, but a coach who is tough and lovable at the same time #VijayRaaz delivered his best.

    Kabir Khan when it comes to Ek Tha Tiger, 83 & Chandu Champion, the casting for the protagonist is always certain. His last 83 and now Chandu Champion, we could see the weightage is for a character not the star who portrays the character.

    Overall Chandu Champion will never disappoint you as the movie talks again of those Champions who never surrender to fail.

    An epic tale not lost in history anymore!

    Tone, Script & Story: The story is about a person who decides people will remember him same as a medal winner arriving in his village. To be precise he decides to be an Olympic gold medalist. He comes to know that via being in military he will become very close to his dream. It further shows if he will succeed.

    As it is shown this movie was an only medium to bring this epic tale to the audience doing justice to champion Murlikant Petkar. He in his life learns three sports only to fulfill his dream. The movie is about will he achieve his dream, but more than that how that would shape village life where he lives.

    Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The village, the akhada, the transport, the military camps, the ring, the sports conducting venue, the hospital, etc have all been captured well. A good approach in short.

    Music: Above average music that goes well along the movie. Acting: Everyone has acted well. Good casting.

    Final Verdict: Some movies show part of story and some are complete. I am a person who likes a complete story. This movie fulfills that craving. It's complete. Do watch it. It's a delight.

    Great and inspiring story..not the movie

    Watching sports drama movie since long time but nothing fresh..the same casual dialogue.. makers would have also been seen such movies in the past..but they learnt nothing... anyone can figure out the repetition of the scenes and dialogue used previously..also unnecessary over emotional scene in the movie makes it weak and unconnected..for example the scene of police personnel crying..do we seriously encountered such things in life.. emotions are the backbone of any movie but over emotions..and why always every sports person in any movie get distracted by women's only..it's better not to add such non scene rather being close to reality.but will appreciate the acting and the efforts of whole team.
