Featured reviews
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.
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.
*** 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.
