Filmmaker Kabir Khan`s directorial `Chandu Champion` starring Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan in the lead hit the screens on Friday. The movie is based on India`s first Paralympic gold medalist, Murlikant Petkar. The film had a slow start at the box office despite getting largely positive reviews. The film collected Rs 5.4 crore on day 1.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to X (formerly Twitter) to share box office update of the film. "#ChanduChampion was expected to start slow and its Day 1 numbers have opened on expected lines… While morning shows were way below the mark, the evening shows did witness some improvement, especially at urban centres.
