As per the box office collection reports, Chandu Champion, directed by Kabir Khan and starring Kartik Aaryan, collected Rs 4.75cr. He was gearing up for a huge release resulting in Rs. 75 crores on the first day of its release. They might be lower than the results of other films but still can be considered to represent the opening day performance.
Chandu Champion performance
Starring Kartik Aaryan and directed by Kabir Khan, Chandu Champion was off to a slow start as it grossed just about Rs 4.75 at the box office. 50-5 crores. At last, it started in the eighth position of the year 2007 with Fighter, Shaitaan, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Crew, Mr. And Mrs. Mahi, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, and Article 370 but it should have been in the list of the top five. Chandu Champion failed to show any advance bookings and then the makers pretentiously lowered the ticket prices.
Chandu Champion has taken the 8th biggest start of 2024 for a Hindi film since it grossed RS 4.75 Crores.

Ticket pricing especially on the opening day was very competitive and this ensured a reasonable turnout for the evening shows, with the positive response expected to boost the film over the long Eid weekend venture.
#Munjya got marginally impacted by the new arrival [#ChanduChampion], yet the overall numbers [Day 8] are EXCELLENT… While the footfalls were divided at urban centres, #Munjya was clearly the first choice in mass pockets.

Battle over: Kumar gets the 9th biggest opening for a Kartik Aaryan starrer and that is very disheartening considering Kartik Aaryan is now an A-list actor and his movies should ideally be getting bigger openings.
As for the most Bollywood actors, the Big Openings Have Been Hard To Come By For Most of Them After the Pandemic.
However, it is notable that several of the actors are facing some sort of difficulty in their groove from the box office aspect in the post-pandemic world. After the pandemic situation, Kartik had four films released till now. However, competition in the industry is stiff and the sequel to Bhool Bhulaiyaa became the biggest opener as well as the highest grosser of the actor.
The success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was short-lived as Shehzada failed to file good numbers both at the opening and also in its total lifetime. Satyaprem Ki Katha was somewhat relieved but Chandu Champion has raised more concerns as it is the lowest opening for Kartik Aaryan in the current timeline and this kind of box office opening simply manifested the initial dislike for the film among the people. Subsequently, Kartik Aaryan will somewhat rely on Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 following Chandu Champion to regain his box office success.
