About Chandu Champion

Chandu Champion review
The Hindustan Times review of the film read, "There are times when sports dramas tend to get a bit preachy or in case of a biopic, the makers show the protagonist as an undefeatable hero. In Chandu Champion, Kabir enters no such territories. He simply takes us through Murli's struggle, hardships, conviction, dedication and hard work that makes him reach his goal despite having no support of his family and constant ridicule from the society. Also, the film is devoid of any fancy frills in terms of dialogues, and you don't complain. It's the premise that you're more intrigued about: exploring and knowing Murli as a go-getter."
