Box Office: 'Chandu Champion' Second Day/First Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, June 15 - After the low start, Kartik Aaryan-fronted Chandu Champion shows a much-needed growth of around 40% on its second day which is a good recovery but the overall collection is still not big enough to cover the lost ground.

Kabir Khan's directorial benefits from positive word-of-mouth as it collects around 6.50-7 crores net on its first Saturday, as per early estimates. Ideally, this should have been the opening day figure to set the tone for a good opening weekend but that is not the case.



Chandu Champion's total collection after 2 days is around 11.50 crores. It can still manage to score a decent weekend if it can see a similar or better jump on Sunday which is very much possible given Monday is a holiday. The 3-day opening weekend is heading for 19-20+ crores while the extended weekend could be around 25+ crores.

The positive word of mouth is clearly showing its effect but the real test for the movie will begin after Monday Bakrid holiday. The 100 crores mark looks a far cry at this moment but the movie needs to hold firmly beyond the weekend to even stand a chance to come closer to this mark.

Stay tuned...
