MOVIE REVIEW: Chandu Champion is more than just a sports biopic. It is a celebration of resilience, determination, and the human spirit. The film is an inspiring tale of an extraordinary individual, Murlikant Petkar, India’s first-ever Paralympics gold medallist and a Padma Shri recipient. With its pacy narrative, engaging screenplay, and heartwarming scenes, Chandu Champion is undoubtedly a must-watch. This film is a touching tribute to a true champion.

Directed by Kabir Khan, who has a knack for extracting the best out of his actors, Chandu Champion stands out as another testament to his directorial prowess. Just as he brought out stellar performances from Salman Khan in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev in ’83, Kabir Khan has masterfully guided Kartik Aaryan in portraying Petkar. The film vividly brings to life the three sporting arenas that shaped Petkar’s journey – a village wrestling pit, a Military Games boxing ring, and a Paralympic swimming pool.

Kartik Aaryan delivers award-winning and his career-best performance. He completely immerses himself in the character of Murlikant Petkar, delivering an outstanding performance. His physical transformation for the role is commendable, and he brings an emotional depth that resonates with the audience. Vijay Raaz gives a powerful performance. His emotional portrayal during Petkar’s climactic win might leave you with moist eyes. Rajpal Yadav adds a touch of humor with his lighthearted moments. Yashpal Sharma, Bhuvan Arora, Shreyas Talpade, and other supporting actors also deliver impressive performances.
