Chandu Champion Twitter Review: Kartik Aaryan Dazzles in Kabir Khan's Sports Drama
Chandu Champion Twitter Review: The much-anticipated Bollywood biographical sports drama 'Chandu Champion' finally hit theaters today, June 14. Directed by Kabir Khan, the film stars Kartik Aaryan in the lead role as Murlikant Petkar. Following its release, the movie has received widespread acclaim from both audiences and critics.
"Chandu Champion" delves into the life of Murlikant Petkar, India's first Paralympic gold medalist in swimming, who achieved this feat in Heidelberg in 1972. The film aligns seamlessly with Khan’s repertoire, often highlighting forgotten heroes and their extraordinary stories. Petkar's journey is a testament to perseverance and resilience, overcoming severe obstacles including poverty, ridicule, and severe injuries sustained during the 1965 Indo-Pak war, which left him paralyzed from the waist down.
The biopic chronicles Petkar's life, starting from a tumultuous childhood marked by bullying due to his ambitious dreams of winning a medal. He was mockingly dubbed "Chandu Champion" (loser champion) by his classmates. The narrative then transitions to his adulthood, where he becomes a successful boxer under the mentorship of Tiger Ali and later joins the Indian Army. During the 1965 war, Petkar was grievously injured, with nine bullets hitting him, one of which caused a spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the knees down, leading to a two-year coma.
#ChanduChampion is SINCERE ❤️#KartikAaryan is earnest in his role, probably a role he’s worked the hardest on. Vijay Raaz is exceptional! Kabir Khan especially excels in interval block war sequence as a technician! A wavering screenplay but inspiring indeed! pic.twitter.com/JK3uYYORpX
