I didn't go in the theatre with a lot of expectation but when I witnessed this movie it just left me awestruck! So beautifully made and especially such an amazing storyline which inspires you to your core. The director has done a good work, second half hooks you down to your chairs. This movie says that there is no actual failure in life, until you keep trying and keep moving forward with determination and sheer commitment. There is nothing impossible and there is always hope and light after a dark day, just keep going and never give up. They have done a good work in delivering this feeling. Rajpal Yadav and other actors have done their role beautifully. 8 out 10🔥

*** 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.

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.

I recently watched "Chandu Champion" and I absolutely loved it! This film is a remarkable portrayal of a real-life hero and it left a lasting impression on me.

The movie tells the incredible true story of Murlikant Petkar, a parathlete who overcame immense obstacles to become India's first Paralympic gold medalist. The narrative is deeply inspiring, shedding light on the triumph of the human spirit and the power of perseverance.

The performances in the film were outstanding. The lead actor, Kartik Aaryan, delivered a powerful and moving performance as Murlikant Petkar. His portrayal was nuanced and heartfelt, capturing the essence of Petkar's struggles and victories with great authenticity. The supporting cast also did an excellent job, adding depth and richness to the story.

A special mention must go to the director, Kabir Khan, who brought this inspiring story to life with such skill and sensitivity. The direction was masterful, balancing emotional depth with engaging storytelling. The director's vision and dedication to telling this important story are evident in every frame.

"Chandu Champion" is a very good real story that needs to be seen by everyone. It's a film that not only entertains but also educates and inspires. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you do. It's a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a celebration of an unsung hero who made history.

It is not just a movie nor a documentary.

This is one of the finest movies of Bollywood, that I have ever seen in my life. Kartik Aryan and Kabir Khan's duo rocked. Superb job guys and I hope Bollywood will return on track after such awesome movies. Simply Mind-blowing. Both of you guys nailed it. The entire cast did a great job of justifying their characters. The storyline is outstanding and the power that was injected by kartik aryan in his role as Sir Murlikant Pentkar is incredible. I wish good to both kartik aryan and Kabir Khan. After such a long wait, we got some good content from Bollywood. Going again to watch this with my friends.

Guys please visit and watch the heartwarming movie of KARTIK AARYAN he gave his best performance and his actions dialogues looks songs everything is perfect I wish this movie will be awarded the NATIONAL AWARD. You don't believe that he transform himself just for a movie and i watched the movie with full of tears and I am totally speechless about this movie my hands were shivering Watch the reviews trailer and watch this movie which never disappoint you KARTIK AARYAN worked hard for this from 39% body fat to 7% body fat he did the swimming while he had a fever of 102°C Go and watch and gave your best reviews THANK YOU!!

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.

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.

Powerfully story as it taken from a true story.

The cinematography is beautiful and so the directing I'm not Indian and I'm from Europe therefore I have a different way to watch movies than Indian people do .

The bad thing for me was the acting and dialogues.

They made the main character seemed like he has some learning disability. This made me hard to take the film seriously. Even when he wrestled or boxed, he acted like a child. Not sure if this is the Indian mentality as some other actors were doing the same.

The dance scene in the train early in the film was so unnecessary and it made me crying the whole time watching it.

"Chandu Champion" is a masterful blend of sports drama and emotional storytelling that captivates from start to finish. Directed by the talented Kabir Khan, the film charts the remarkable journey of Chandu, a determined athlete who rises from obscurity to achieve greatness.

Kartik Aaryan delivers a career-defining performance as Chandu. His portrayal is nuanced and deeply empathetic, making the character's struggles and triumphs incredibly relatable. Aaryan captures the essence of an underdog with sincerity and passion, drawing viewers into Chandu's world with every scene.

The supporting cast adds significant depth to the narrative. Boman Irani and Rajesh Sharma stand out, offering strong performances that enrich the storyline and provide a solid foundation for the central character's development. Each character feels well-developed and contributes meaningfully to the overall arc.

Visually, "Chandu Champion" is stunning. The cinematography by Aseem Mishra brings the intensity of sports competitions to life, while also beautifully capturing the more personal, introspective moments. The dynamic camera work and crisp editing heighten the drama and excitement, making every athletic event feel urgent and real.

Pritam's music score is another highlight, perfectly complementing the film's emotional beats and enhancing the storytelling. The soundtrack adds an extra layer of depth, underscoring both the highs and lows of Chandu's journey.

Kabir Khan's direction ensures that "Chandu Champion" is not just a sports movie but a poignant human drama. The film explores themes of perseverance, resilience, and the true meaning of victory, resonating deeply with audiences. It's a story about the indomitable spirit of a man who refuses to give up, no matter the odds.

In conclusion, "Chandu Champion" is a.

Chandu Champion (2024) : Movie Review -

Kartik Aaryan finally gets into character-driven zones with Kabir Khan's inspiring tale, based on the life of Padma Shri recipient Mr. Muralikant Petkar, aka Chandu Champion. What the film deminded from Kartik and Kabir was a full submission to the craft, as the writing was already good since Petkar's life was so inspiring. It usually happens that biopics are safer than fictional stories because they have more realistic sense and more inspirational stuff to offer. Chandu Champion has a champion-like story coming from Muralikant Petkar's life, well-handled by Kabir Khan as the storyteller more than a director. His direction can still be at fault for those flaws we see in the film, but as a storyteller, he completely wins.

In the early 50s, kid Muralikant is taken to a Karad station to see Khashaba Jadhav as he returns from a historic Olympic win. Little Murali, unaware of things, decides to win the Olympic Gold Medal for India and enters Kusti ka akhada. Grown-up Murali (Kartik Aaryan) is teased as "Chandu Champion" by locals and is called Kaccha Limbu by his own coach. The perception changes when he beats the opponent Pahalwan in a fight that he was supposed to lose, and then he is ran out of the village, only to find a new direction for his career-the Army. In the Army, Murali is guided by Tiger Ali (Vijay Raaj) in the boxing ring and becomes a sensation at the Olympics. With Gold being so close to him, Murali loses his concentration due to the glamour and glitter around him and loses the final. In 1965's war, he is hit by 9 bullets but still survives, only to be left with paralyzed legs. Will he be able to complete his dream of winning gold for India?

With a considerable amount of fiction and a tell-me-the-same-story kind of presentation, Chandu Champion feels inspiring but repetitive. Vijay Raaj asks Chandu, "Kabhi suni hai aise stories?" The entire fault of repetitive cinema lies here in this line. What can we do if the stories are so similar to each other? There might be hundreds of Muralikant Petkars all over the world inspiring millions to "never give up," but in our Maharashtra, we only had one Muralikant Petkar, no? What's wrong with telling his story, even if it is similar to many others? This is where every director and screenwriter should work. They can define cinema through new lenses if they can summarize the same story in a different format, in different ratios, and in different ways. The ultimate truth should remain the same.

Talking about flaws, I didn't get how a man who has run out of a village in Langot can directly go to an army camp and get admission. Don't they ask for any documents? Also, the fact that the glitter disturbs your concentration doesn't seem like a big conflict in movies anymore. Even if we think about the 1960s, Milkha Singh went through a similar conflict, so Petkar could have easily avoided that (in real life and reel life, both). Didn't his married life deserve that one chunk of screen space? Besides these, I don't think there are any major flaws in the movie. It's a very good story with a sortable screenplay (which could have been better if we look at how Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Dangal were handled). Khan's storytelling reminds you of his own previous works, if you look carefully. In 83's last scene, you see little Sachin Tendulkar on his brother's shoulder, and here you see a little girl on her father's shoulder waving at Padma Shri winner Petkar. I must say, that flashback trick is older than Petkar's real age, so Kabir Khan really needs to improvise himself there.

Speaking of performances, Chandu Champion entirely belongs to two people: Kartik Aryan and Vijay Raaj. Kartik finally gets to play a challenging role (since it's a biopic), which demands physical and characteristic changes throughout the narrative. He does well. But how well? Compared to his own previous works, I can confidently say that Chandu Champion is Kartik Aaryan's best performance so far. Yes, in some scenes he brings that old and natural Kartik to spoil the sculptor, but nothing damageable. No more rom-com mediocrity; no more of that chocolate boy tag anymore. He has destroyed that image at once. Vijay Raaj nails the role of Tiger Ali. He is bindass; he is fearless; he is hopeful; and he is funny too. Rajpal Yadav's role seems important but it has been showcased with a lot of mediocrity. "Yayich hai" and "Apunich hai" kinds of language didn't seem appropriate for the 1960s (for any character). Yashpal Sharma and Shreyas Talpade are wasted in cringe-worthy roles, while Ganesh Yadav fits well for that small role. I am not sure whether Bhagyashri Borse's role was really necessary here. A journalist being so close to contestants during lunch and practice sessions isn't plausible at all. Yet, she looked cute, and I personally wouldn't mind having such a lovely lady nearby (but it's cinema, and I am a critic after all). Talented Sonali Kulkarni gets a small role but does fine, as did the other supporting cast members.

Chandu Champion lacks musical finesse. I don't know from where that "Satyanaas" song appeared. The lyrics and the tone did not suit the situation at all. "Sarfira" was okay, but those situations needed a much more inspirational song. The cinematography was good, the sound design was decent, and the production value was high. Kabir Khan has proved that he can't really make a "bad film" every time (except a few), and the emotional pull he has is much better than that of other directors (except Hirani). Chandu Champion isn't his best work, but it's not bad or average either. Most of the credit goes to Muralikant Perkar's life because the story he has to share with us all is just INCREDIBLE. More than Kartik and Kabir, I really want to meet this man and salute him for whatever he has achieved in his life. Kis mitti ka bana hai ye banda? I really want to find out now.

RATING - 6/10*

Why does Bollywood trivialize everything, why cant it take things a tad bit seriously. A film that could have been inspiring is turned into a farcical comedy, rank bad acting by all, rank bad direction, no concept of timelines, patterns, atmospheres of the 50s,60s,70s. Pathetic work.

This is good enough only for those who like loud acting which has been the hallmark of indian cinema for so long.

Now lets look at the fighting scenes, particularly the boxing matches, they seem almost current, whereas the time period in the early stage of the movies is the 60s????

So much budget wasted on such insipid production, grow up boys, everything is not for the front benchers, we have moved on and demand better cinemas

And what to say about the battle scenes.

Chandu Champion is an inspiring and captivating film that brilliantly showcases perseverance and triumph against all odds. The storyline follows Chandu, an underdog who defies expectations and overcomes numerous challenges with sheer determination. The performances are powerful, bringing depth and authenticity to the characters. The direction is flawless, maintaining a gripping narrative throughout. The film's emotional resonance and motivational message make it a standout. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves a compelling story of resilience and victory. Highly recommend it for an unforgettable cinematic experience!

A story of an unsung hero that captures the essence of hope, determination, and overcoming challenges. Kartik Aaryan shines in this feel-good film. Worth a watch! You will not regret and full paisa wasool movie. Based on a true story, the film shines a spotlight on Petkar's remarkable journey - from the 1950s to 2018 - when he clinched India's first Paralympic gold medal. His achievements, hidden in anonymity, finally receive the honor and respect they deserve. Surviving against all odds, he emerges unbroken, even when devastated. The film's free-flowing narrative, reminiscent of "Forrest Gump," and the essence of "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" infuse it with a rebellious spirit.

Murlikant Petkar is such a personality who only inspires everyone . This movie is a biopic about him that makes you stand up from your seats and clap and bow your head in front of such a persona.... Thank you Mr. Kabir Khan from the core of heart for making this movie. Kartik Aaryan just lived that character this is his best movie in term of everything after SPKK ... I was never been a fan of Kartik but his acting in this movie just flipped my coin... a true masterpiece from the direction -> the acting -> screenplay -> music score...Each and every part is beautiful itself.... "Vijay Raj" this man needs a separate bow for his outstanding performance.

This film must be watched by those who are facing some problem in their life and are unable to find a way to live life... I am sure that after watching it you will be inspired to do something.

Unbelievable story... a must knw for everyone as how an individual dreams and makes his dream a passion and attains it whatever comes his way... incredible... must watch...Kartik Aryan's acting is fabulous.. after seeing his first movie and this ... he has come a long way... great goong Kartik.. Kabir Khan.. another feather on his hat... pl keep making movies like this .. such movies not only gives due respect to the forgotten ones but truly motivates us and makes ppl realise that anything is achievable... you just need to be passionate and focused to achieve it... CHANDU CHAMPION - A MUST WATCH FOR EVERYONE.

Just another Kabir Khan inspirational movie. Good, however, not so heart wrenching. Several instances remind you of the sequences from Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and make you realise what a plethora of a production that was. It is better to enjoy the movie with the purpose of gaining knowledge about the great contribution of Murlikant Petkar to his country. An additional surprise came from Karthik Aaryan, who was really good at performing the character on the silver screen. Vijay Raaz was mesmerizing again as an important supporting character. In several instances of Pritam's background composition late KK was missed.

Just Watched Chandu Champion And Cant Tell You Starting Sei Hi Rongte Khade HoJaate Hai Kartik Ji Hardwork And Kabir Khan Ji Direction Is Visible You Feel A Story Is Going And The Slowly Story Gets Completed You Cry With Happiness And Your Eyes Teary Even At Interval And When The Movie Ends You Want To Watch It Again Must Watch Movie Atleast 3-4 Times For Sure Love From Kartikians And TrndBaat Warda Nadiad Wala Ji Production Is A1, Kartiks Body Abs Oh My God Girls Would Go Mad Over His Hard work he will have more fan girls pages, Kartik Aaryan Kabir Ji Nadiadwala Ji We All Love YouYou best Movie.

Story, Direction, Suspense, Climax is amazing except the lead actor which I found to be a misfit for this role.

It would have been amazing movie if the lead role was played by some other actor like Tiger or other young actors.

No resemblance of the actor to the actual person except the obviously fake wig.

Nothing to take away from Kartik, he is an amazing actor.

Songs could have been better. The song on the train was irrelevant and misplaced.

Salute to the inspiring soldier and sportsman.

Thank you for reading through review. These are just personal thoughts so don't take them seriously.

Chandu Champion," directed by Kabir Khan, is an absolute gem that stands out as Kartik Aaryan's best performance to date. This movie is an enthralling experience from start to finish, showcasing stellar performances and a gripping narrative that keeps the audience hooked.

Kartik Aaryan, in the titular role, delivers a performance that is both powerful and nuanced. His portrayal of Chandu is compelling, embodying a range of emotions with remarkable depth and authenticity. Kartik's dedication to the role is evident, and he truly deserves all the praise for bringing such a complex character to life with such finesse.

Supporting Kartik is the ever-reliable Vijay Raaz, whose performance adds significant weight to the film. His portrayal is solid and impactful, complementing Kartik's performance perfectly. The chemistry between the two actors adds another layer of richness to the movie, making it a more engaging watch.

Kabir Khan's direction is commendable, weaving a narrative that is both emotionally resonant and visually appealing. However, it's unfortunate that "Chandu Champion" did not receive the marketing push it deserved. Despite this, the movie is a standout piece of cinema, deserving of a wider audience and greater recognition.

In my opinion, "Chandu Champion" is a 10/10 movie. It's a cinematic triumph that combines excellent storytelling, brilliant performances, and masterful direction. Kartik Aaryan's exceptional performance is the heart of the film, and he undoubtedly deserves every bit of acclaim for his work.

Overall, "Chandu Champion" is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates quality cinema. It's a film that leaves a lasting impact, and Kartik Aaryan's performance is one that will be remembered for years to come.

Overview: Chandu Champion is an uplifting sporting tale, which is quite well executed and a pleasant watch.

Plot: The plot centers around Murlikant Petkar, an average village boy who dreams of bringing home an Olympic gold medal for India. Through his story, he switches sports, becomes paralyzed during a war, but keeps on pushing to achieve his dream.

This real-life story is inspirational, and makes the audience feel as though anything is possible if you work hard enough.

Acting: This is the kind of role I wanted to see Kartik Aaryan in after Dhamaka. In some ways he has been type cast as a goofy Loverboy, but he is an accomplished actor who can do the serious performances. In Chandu Champion he puts in a very solid performance as Petkar.

Aaryan is supported by a very capable Vijay Raaz, as his mentor, Tiger Ali.

Music: The music is generally quite good, a lot of your inspirational fare in a movie like this. Some songs were unnecessary or didn't fit the vibe like the train song.

Sets/costumes/makeup: Sets were pretty good as were the costumes. The makeup, however, was absolutely terrible. Especially when Kartik Aaryan was playing the older version of Murlikant Petkar, They didn't bother to make him look like the real man, but rather just dressed him up as generic old man, with a lousy wig. It looked extremely lazy especially during the credits when the side by side was happening.

Conclusion: It's an enjoyable watch, and overall, a pretty good movie. 7/10.

The movie was lacklustre and was barely watchable. The movie lacked depth and needed good editing. The screen was way too small for such a great achievement. The story in itself is spell binding but the characterisation lacked depth. The ingenuity and the specialisation of acting was grossly misconstrued. The acting could have been superior if not for the overt maneuver.

The acting of Vijay Raaz was subtle and manipulative. The strategies drawn by him to put him at the top of his game again was banal. The movie was not at all inventive. All the old theories and therapies have been applied all over met.

What a amazing moving. Acting, direction, story telling, comedy. No words to say, just award award-winning movie. Highly recommend.

Watched Chandu champion after reading some good reviews and to my surprise this is one of the best biopics made in Bollywood till date.

Honestly, I never heard any story about Sir MuraliKant Petkar but after watching the trailer I decided to give it a go and trust me this story had to be told, such an inspiring story of an extraordinary real hero. The man who served in Army, took bullets, and after so many hardships brings glory for his country through sports.

Kartik Aryan has done full justice to this role, the honesty, the simplicity and the dedication he has put to fill in the shoes of Murali Sir is just splendid, amazing and remarkable.

I would say it's a must watch!! If the movie doesn't do good on box office, we will fail as an audience and won't do justice to the man behind. The Man who brought India the first Gold Medal in Paralympics.
