What are the viewers saying about Champion?

One user reviewed Champion and said, “Done watching #Champion and Roshan Meka hits it out of the park. Emotional core works really well in the second half, supported by strong music & visuals. Slow narration at places, but the interval and climax make up for it BIG time. Unexpected ending seals the deal. Another content-rich film from @VyjayanthiFilms. Rating: 3.5/5”

Another user took to X and said,“With #Champion, filmmakers genuinely honor a lesser-known story of sacrifice. Some strong emotional moments, especially in the final thirty minutes, elevate the film along with its technical skills, yet a more impactful screenplay could have intensified it further.”

“An excellent film with a perfect story and concept. Felt very fresh after a long time. Superb songs and BGM. Top-notch performance by Roshan and very good production values. Only minus is slow narration !!” said a second viewer.
