Chandu Champion Trailer Review: The trailer of the film ‘Chandu Champion’ based on the life of India’s first Paralympic gold medalist Murlikant Petkar has been released. The trailer gives a glimpse of the hard work put into making the film. From the tremendous transformation of the film’s lead actor Kartik Aryan to the different layers of the film’s story, it shows that the film’s director Kabir Khan has left no stone unturned this time too.
The journey of ‘Paan Singh Tomar’ is somewhat similar to that seen in the trailer, but when you watch the entire trailer, you will come to know that in reality the stories of both were similar in many respects. Both of them fought their respective battles at their respective places.
Summary of the story shown in the trailer
The trailer has been prepared in such a way that the summary of the entire story of the real life hero can be seen in just 3 minutes and 15 seconds. Well, you will get to read the story of Murlikant Petkar in many different places, because it is not hidden from anyone.
But the method of presenting the story or narration in this film seems to be of the same level which has been seen in Kabir Khan’s other films like 83 and Sultan. This is the specialty of this trailer that those watching it will definitely watch the entire trailer without skipping.
What is the story shown in the trailer?
The trailer starts with Vijayraj’s narration, in which he is seen narrating the story of Chandu. The trailer starts with the scene when Chandu, who was part of the Indian Army, gets hit by 9 bullets during the war. But still Chandu’s desire to live makes him escape even from death.
After this, the life of Chandu is shown in which his journey from childhood to joining the Indian Army and taking bullets in the war to reaching the Olympics is shown. The entire trailer shows Chandu’s story layer by layer, but with twists and turns. Because of this, by the end of the trailer, only Champion is visible instead of Chandu.
The hard work done in the trailer is visible through these things
Kartik Aryan, who plays Chandu in the trailer, really carries the body language of a champion. Also, his transformation was visible in the poster released before the trailer launch. Before this, whatever roles he did were of cholent boys.
Therefore, Karthik’s appearance in such a form shows what sacrifices he might have made to prepare himself. He had told that he worked like a machine for this role. Apart from this, Karthik’s journey from youth to old age has also been depicted very minutely.
Apart from this, in the trailer, Chandu’s life has been shown like a book, in which everything from the proper intro to its climax has been decided in such a way that every page of that book becomes interesting.
This dialogue from the film says it all, “Whatever transaction I had with God, it was not in his plan to kill me like this.” That day I decided that I will live and I will fight as much as I have to fight for it. He would turn back every teasing laugh and say, “Who is laughing?”
Kabir Khan’s hard work is also visible
Kabir Khan has given big hits and good films like Sultan, Kabul Express, Ek Tha Tiger, New York, Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Looking at the trailer, it seems that after a long time, Kabir Khan is going to give a big hit again. The film is based on real life. Therefore, no stone was left unturned in showcasing the history as well.
The trailer also tells about the India-Pakistan war of 1965 and the situation in India at that time. It is heard in the voice over, “The story of Murlikant Petkar is the story of independent India. The situation was such that whether the country would be able to survive or not? But India fights against every situation. This dialogue narrates the story of then Hindustan and Chandu while comparing it.
The essence of this dialogue is that just as Hindustan survived and today’s India was formed, Chandu survived and became the champion. Let us understand what has been told about the situation at that time in the film with a small example – In 1964, India had a shortage of wheat for food, to fulfill which America had announced that every year Will give 6 lakh tonnes of wheat.
But just one year later, after the India-Pakistan war, America starts putting pressure on India. Which the country refuses to accept and the result is that America refuses to give wheat. In such a situation, the country does not bow down and after the advent of Green Revolution in the year 1968, it is successful in increasing the wheat production in the country every year and today it is so successful that today India is at second place in the world in wheat production.
Why is the film special for both Kabir Khan and Karthik?
Kabir Khan’s last two big films which flopped despite expectations were ‘Tubelight’ in 2017 and ’83’ in 2021. In such a situation, Kabir Khan is undoubtedly a great director, but he also needs a big hit. And Chandu Champion can fulfill this need.
However, times are not bad for Karthik Aryan. His previous films ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ and ‘Satya Prem Ki Katha’ were liked. His earlier films have also made good collections. But as every actor dreams of doing something new. This film can fulfill Karthik’s dream of doing something new.
Who is Murlikant Petkar on whose life a film has been made?
Muralikant is India’s first Paralympic gold medalist, who won a medal for India in 1972 in 50 meter freestyle swimming. Apart from this, he also participated in other games like Javelin Throw.
