The Telugu film 'Champion' is demonstrating a stable and promising run at the Indian box office following its release. The movie, which opened to a strong response from audiences, has successfully crossed a significant milestone in its first week.
Strong Opening Weekend and Steady Weekday Collections
'Champion' enjoyed a robust opening at the ticket windows. Over its initial four-day period, which included the weekend, the film amassed an impressive Rs 7.70 crore in net collections across India.
