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 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.

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 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🔥
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.
