Chandu Champion Movie Review:
Kartik Aaryan brings his A-game for Chandu Champion! His physical transformation for the role is commendable and he wins the audience with his sincere, committed portrayal. He brings a fine balance between the intensity, mischief and emotion needed for the part. Kartik’s dedication to the role shines through; he has surrendered himself to the process.
The awe-inspiring story of Murlikant Petkar is the real hero here – a life full of ups and down, but ultimately an indomitable spirit. The tale is utterly engrossing without a moment’s boredom – from the classic underdog arc, inspiring training montage, emotionally harrowing war scenes to perseverance in the face of despair.
Motivational tracks like Sarphira keep the energy high, while Satyanaas showcases the light-hearted side of the legend.
