Day 1: Champion Opens with Rs 4.5 Cr Gross

Champion, which released the other day amid high expectations, has opened to a mixed response from critics. Backed by a well known production house and mounted on a decent scale, the film carried strong pre release buzz. However, the final output seems to have divided opinions.

While reviews have been on the mixed side, the film has managed to register a fair opening at the box office. According to the makers, Champion collected around Rs 4.5 crore gross on Day 1, which can be termed a decent start given the circumstances. The film is holding reasonably well in theatres across several centers.

On the technical front, the production values stand out and add strength to the film. The songs have received a fair response and are working in parts, especially in mass centers.

The lead pair remains a key advantage. Roshan’s performance and screen presence have been noticed, and he manages to carry the film in crucial moments. The heroine also adds value, and their pairing works to an extent.

With a mixed talk in place, the coming days will be crucial. If the film sustains its hold over the weekend, Champion could settle into a stable run at the box office.
