Kartik
Aaryan
in
Chandu
Champion.
Chandu
Champion
came
with
a
lot
of
expectations.
Since
the
last
few
weeks
has
seen
some
sort
of
resurgence
at
the
box
office
with
Srikanth
bringing
audiences
back
in
theatres,
Mr
&
Mrs
Mahi
taking
one
of
the
best
openings
of
the
year
and
Munjya
surprising
everyone.
It
was
felt
that
Chandu
Champion
will
carry
forward
the
momentum
and
take
a
good
opening.
Ideally,
a
double
digit
opening
would
have
set
the
film
well.
But
the
opening
wasn’t
anywhere
close
to
expectations
with
only
Rs
5.40
crore
(Rs
54
million)
coming
in.
Word-of-mouth
has
been
in
favour
of
the
film
and
that
reflects
in
the
four-day
extended
weekend
numbers,
which
have
come
to
Rs
30.12
crore
(Rs
301.2
million).
Though
this
is
lesser
than
what
one
had
expected
since
Monday
was
a
partial
holiday
due
to
Eid,
when
compared
to
how
the
film
had
opened
on
Friday,
this
is
still
better.
Still,
collections
of
Rs
40
crore
to
Rs
50
crore
(Rs
400
million
to
Rs
500
million)
would
have
been
ideal
for
the
film’s
extended
weekend.
The
Kartik
Aaryan-starrer
will
now
aim
for
stability
in
the
week
ahead.
Note:
All
collections
as
per
production
and
distribution
sources.
