Kartik Aaryan’s Net Worth! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Today (November 22) marks the 34th birthday of Kartik Aaryan. Hailing from Gwalior, the actor was destined to make it big with his struggles and determination. Over the years, he became more than just the actor who mouthed the Pyaar Ka Punchnama monologue. He proved his versatility through a diverse filmography and amassed an enviable ground-level fan following, a remarkable achievement for any outsider. The commercial success that he received through his work is also reflected in his net worth, which has seen a whopping 81.6% growth from 2 years ago.

Growth In Kartik Aaryan’s Net Worth

In 2022, Kartik Aaryan’s net worth was estimated to be around 46 crore. The Chandu Champion actor had several brand endorsements for his kitty along with a 1.60 crore worth apartment in Mumbai’s Versova area. He also owned luxurious cars like a BMW, Mini Cooper, and a Lamborghini worth 4.5 crores.

Kartik Aaryan is on a roll with roles and with each performance firmly establishes his acting prowess. From his debut role in 2011’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama, the young actor has continued to impress. In 2024, he starred in the critically acclaimed Chandu Champion and the recently released Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

In this special interview with Subhash K Jha, Kartik delved into the experience of reprising his role in Bhool Bhulaiyaa, working with Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan, and more.

Did you think BB3 would be able to live up to the humongous public expectations?

This franchise has always been a complete family entertainer, and this time, the quotient of everything has multiplied. There are some surprise elements as well (Laughs). It has something for everyone in the family, be it kids or adults. We’ve worked hard as a team to ensure that the audience is fully satisfied with the entertainment value.

Kartik Aaryan is all set to spread the Rooh Baba fever again with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which will be released on November 1, 2024. The movie will clash with Singham Again at the box office, and fans are waiting to see which film emerges victorious at the box office battle. As we await the fate of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, we revisit the box office performances of Kartik’s last five films, combining hits and misses.

1- Chandu Champion (2024)

It is not a hidden fact that Kartik Aaryan received several laurels and critical acclaim for his performance in Chandu Champion. However, the movie earned a worldwide collection of 65.50 crore. Reportedly, mounted at a scale of almost 70 to 140 crore, the film was a losing verdict at the box office despite the critical praise. For the unversed, a losing...

Anees Bazmee is undeterred by all the combative talks pitching his much-awaited Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 with Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. He actually is appalled by stories of One-upmanship between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again.

Taking time off from his frantic post-production work, Anees told this writer, “I don’t understand this competitive argument, nor do I appreciate it. Why can’t two films be successful on the same Friday? It has happened in the past. I would want both Bhool Bhulaiyaa2 and Singham Returns to do well.”

Anees gets slightly emotional as he speaks of the Singham team. “Ajay Devgan and I go back a long way. He was the leading man of my non-comedy films Deewaangee and Pyar Toh Hona Hi Tha. Akshay and I have collaborated on a number of hit films. And Singham director Rohit Shetty is a friend. We are all part of the same entertainment industry.

Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan has recently rented out his property in Mumbai’s upscale Juhu locality for Rs. 4.5 lakh per month, reflecting the ongoing strength in real estate activity. The transaction, reviewed by Square Yards, was officially registered with a stamp duty of Rs. 42,500. The property, situated within Siddhi Vinayak Presidency Co-operative Housing, spans 1,912 sq. ft. (177.72 sq. m).

Aaryan originally purchased and registered the apartment on June 30, 2024, for Rs. 17.5 crore, jointly with his mother, Mala Tiwari. The purchase incurred a stamp duty of Rs. 1.05 crore and a registration fee of Rs. 30,000, including two car parking spaces. According to SquareYards.com, the rental yield on Aaryan’s property stands at 3.1%. This transaction is part of Aaryan’s broader real estate portfolio; in July 2023, his mother and father together invested Rs. 16.5 crore in an apartment on the 8th floor of the same housing project.

The housing society is located in Juhu, a favourite among celebrities,...

Kartik Aaryan recently received high praise from star shooter Manu Bhaker for his role in the film Chandu Champion. After watching the movie, Manu took to her Instagram Stories to share her thoughts, expressing how deeply she connected with the film. She highlighted how the portrayal of an athlete’s journey—marked by preparation, struggles, and perseverance—resonated with her own experiences. Manu commended Kartik’s performance, especially in the preparation sequences, stating that he deserved a “medal” for his portrayal.

In response, Kartik reposted Manu’s story on his own Instagram, expressing his gratitude. He conveyed how much it meant to him to receive praise from a true champion like Manu Bhaker, especially for a project that was clearly close to his heart. His message was filled with respect and pride, recognizing Manu’s achievements and the honor it brought to India.

He said, “Wow !!! Thank you @bhakermanu These...

Munjya has been having a rock-steady run at the box office. While on Friday, it collected 3.31 crores and then grew over the weekend, it’s the weekday collections that are really turning out to be a highlight. The film has been seeing ultra-steady collections, with Monday (2.50 crores), Tuesday (2.48 crores), and Wednesday (2.49 crores) hovering around the 2.50 crores mark, which is really good.

Today, the film will definitely be a hit in collections due to the arrival of Kalki 2898 Ad. However, it should still stay over the 1.50 crore mark as there is a ready audience for it. Yes, there is a huge distraction in the form of Prabhas’s starrer. Moreover, there is also the India vs. England semi-final match for the T20 World Cup. Still, Munjya should be able to stay afloat.

It’s a 50 for Chandu Champion. The film could have managed that on Saturday but missed scoring that by just a few lakhs. However, the moment Sunday morning shows kicked off, there was a half-century celebration waiting for it. The film carried forward the momentum created ever since the start of the weekend, which is reflected in Sunday collections, which have come well.

The film ended up netting 8.01 crores more, and that’s much more than double what it had collected on Friday [3.32 crores]. It was a similar trend in the first weekend as well when Sunday collections were double that of Friday, and that was when on Monday there was the partial holiday of Eid, which benefitted evening and night shows on Saturday.

Ishq Vishk Rebound Box Office Collection Day 3 Updates! (Photo Credit –Instagram)

It was a weekend of just over 4 crores for Ishq Vishk Rebound. The film managed to show some growth again on Sunday and that pushed the numbers to 1.65 crore. On Saturday the film had collected 1.50 crore so there is an increment in numbers that has come in. Yes, collections over 2 crores would have had a better ring to it but then limited growth from Friday to Saturday meant that it would always been challenging to show bigger growth on Sunday.

Moreover, the film is also facing a lot of competition from holdover releases Chandu Champion (in its second week) and Munjya (in its third week). Both the films saw over 5 crores each coming in on both Saturday and Sunday and between them, have a lot of prime shows dedicated to them. Hence, this romcom starring (relative) newcomers has a...

Trending Maharaj Movie Review: Junaid Khan & Jaideep Ahlawat’s Stellar Performances Are The Key Highlights Of A Risky Historical Controversy Gam Gam Ganesha: After Box Office Failure,...

After seven years of failed attempts to bring Siddharth Anand and Rohit Dhawan’s Rambo remake to life, the project has been shelved due to financial constraints and the waning box office appeal of its lead actor, Tiger Shroff. Despite Siddharth Anand’s interest in repackaging the project, Rohit Dhawan has chosen to move on.

The director of *Desi Boyz* spent four years on the Rambo adaptation, but it never progressed beyond pre-production. According to Peepingmoon.com, Dhawan is now teaming up with Sajid Nadiadwala for a new project. This marks a return to Nadiadwala’s banner for Dhawan, who previously collaborated with him on the 2016 film *Dishoom* starring John Abraham and Varun Dhawan.

Dhawan’s new venture is a two-hero action comedy, though it is not a sequel to *Dishoom*. Instead, it is described as being in the vein of the popular 1997 comedy *Deewana Mastana*, which starred Govinda and Anil Kapoor.

“Chandu Champion,” starring Kartik Aryan and directed by Kabir Khan, has faced a disappointing performance at the box office. Despite high expectations and extensive promotional efforts, the film has struggled to attract audiences, resulting in a significant financial setback for the production house.

The film has only managed to collect ₹40.13 crore, far below industry expectations. This is particularly notable when compared to the impressive performance of “Munjya,” which continues to do exceptionally well at the box office. “Chandu Champion” was anticipated to be a major hit, but its lackluster numbers tell a different story.

One of the primary issues with the film is its storyline, which failed to resonate with viewers. Critics and audiences alike have pointed out that the plot lacked originality and depth, with many scenes feeling clichéd and predictable. This lack of a compelling narrative resulted in negative word-of-mouth, further dampening interest and attendance.

Kartik Aaryan’s newest film, “Chandu Champion,” directed by Kabir Khan, has achieved tremendous success at the box office. The movie, which features Aaryan as Murlikanth Petkar, has garnered widespread acclaim, showcasing the actor’s impressive transformation and versatile performance.

Aaryan has been actively promoting “Chandu Champion,” making efforts to connect with his fans and gather their feedback. His commitment to engaging with audiences highlights his dedication to his craft and his appreciation for his supporters.

Box Office – Chandu Champion manages decent hold on Tuesday(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Chandu Champion is putting on a fight. After growing quite well on Saturday and then further showing a jump in collections on Sunday, Monday was better than Friday due to the partial holiday of Eid. Hence, what really mattered was whether Tuesday’s hold was good because that would have been a true testimony of the film’s acceptance. As it is, films do drop on Monday, and when it’s an extended weekend, then the fifth-day drop is sometimes even bigger.

Thankfully, that didn’t happen for the Kartik Aaryan-starrer, as it has managed to bring on 3.60 crores more. This is a reasonable drop from Friday numbers of 5.40 crores and thankfully not in that 2.50-3 crores range which would have meant a low first week overall. A number like this reflects that Chandu Champion is at...

Chandu Champion collects more on Monday (partial holiday) than Friday. (Photo Credit – Instagram)

On Monday, which was also the partial holiday of Eid, Chandu Champion collected more than on Friday. The film had opened at 5.40 crores, and now Monday’s total has turned out to be 6.01 crores. This is a bit of an improvement, and though it’s not huge, it’s always better than staying flat or lower.

Of course, had the numbers been closer to Saturday (7.70 crores) then it would have been even better. That would have reflected an even stronger trend. Yes, it was difficult to reach such levels, but then, for a higher lifetime score, such kind of trending was needed. Right now, it’s about how the weekdays turn out to be from this point on. If they are stable around 3 crores range between today and Thursday then around 8-9 crores more would be added to the total.

Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, “Munjya” features Sharvari, Abhay Verma, Mona Singh & Sathyaraj in key roles. This Indian Hindi-language film blends supernatural elements with comedy and horror, captivating audiences with its unique storyline.

Kartik Aaryan led Chandu Champion saw further growth on Sunday, and with this, he now also has a double-digit score to his credit. It is indeed credible that the collections have more than doubled up from 5.40 crores on Friday to now 11.01 crores on Sunday. Yes, had this happened on Saturday itself, then it would have been simply fabulous and set the film well for a good total ahead. Right now, it’s still wait and watch since the initial jump has come but all eyes are now on the momentum to continue.

What works in favor of the film is the fact that today is also the partial holiday of Eid, which means the collections should stay on to be good. They will certainly go past Friday [5.40 crores] and minimum expectation would be to hit that Saturday number [7.70 crores] again. Anything more than that...

It was yet another fantastic day for Munjya as collections further rose on Sunday. The film is as it is over-performing on each of the days and after huge Saturday growth, there was huge interest in knowing whether Sunday would rise all over again. Last Sunday the growth was impacted due to India v/s Pakistan match but this Sunday there was no such distraction. Yes, there is competition from the new release Chandu Champion for sure, but then, on the other hand, Munjya is also a set movie with youth patronizing it in a big way.

This reflected well in Sunday collections which came to 8.75 crores. Now that’s a wonderful number because a film of this kind of budget could well have been content if these were the collections of the entire opening weekend.

Kartik Aaryan had his first release of 2024 with Chandu Champion. Directed by Kabir Khan, the film is a sports biopic based on the life of India’s first Paralympic Gold medalist, Murlikant Petkar. It also stars Vijay Raaz, Sonali Kulkarni, Bhuvan Arora, Yashpal Sharma, Rajpal Yadav, Shreyas Talpade, and Aniruddh Dave.

Chandu Champion was released in theatres on June 14, 2024. The film received mostly positive reviews from film critics. Even the fans are in awe of Kartik’s solid performance as Murlikant Petkar. However, the film is earning less than expected at the box office. As per the latest update, Kartik Aaryan’s film has earned approximately 24.11 crores at the box office so far. In an interview, the actor was asked if the numbers affect him.

“Chandu Champion,” starring Kartik Aaryan, faced a competitive opening weekend against “Munjya” but managed solid gains, especially on Sunday, with ₹11.01 cr.

While “Chandu Champion” shows early promise, sustaining momentum beyond the extended weekend will be crucial for its overall success, needing consistent performance beyond traditional weekend peaks.

Despite the release of “Chandu Champion,” “Munjya” maintains its stronghold across most theaters. Sunday’s box office collection of ₹8.75 cr surpasses the previous Sunday’s ₹8.43 cr, reinforcing its enduring popularity.

Urban Impact vs. Heartland Appeal

While “Chandu Champion” impacts “Munjya” slightly in urban centers, the latter continues to lead in mass markets and heartland regions, showcasing its broad appeal.

“Munjya” defies initial predictions with its impressive box office performance, set to cross the ₹60 cr mark on Monday, a holiday. It has also proven wrong critics who doubted its potential outside the digital release model.

Chandu Champion, starring Kartik Aaryan, is gradually attaining the much-needed hype at the Indian box office. The film has finally managed to hit the double-digit mark on Sunday, thus giving itself a chance to shine tomorrow, on Bakri Eid. Scroll below to see how the sports drama is performing on day 3!

The sports biographical drama is based on the life of India’s first Paralympic gold medallist, Murlikant Petkar. The additional cast includes Vijay Raaz, Bhuvan Arora, Rajpal Yadav, and Shreyas Talpade, among others in pivotal roles. It released in theatres on June 14, 2024.

Box Office – Chandu Champion sees good growth on Saturday(Photo Credit –YouTube)

After opening at 5.40 crores on Friday, Chandu Champion saw good growth at the box office as 7.70 crores came in. In terms of the percentage growth, this looks quite good. However the fact also remains that from absolute numbers, the film deserves a lot more and that’s something which should happen today.

This one is a well made film with strong entertainment quotient. Moreover, the film has garnered praises and hence the numbers actually need to be far bigger than what they are. The hero [Kartik Aaryan] as well as the director [Kabir Khan] have delivered one of their best and the producer [Sajid Nadiadwala] has gone all out to pitch the film to the audiences rather aggressively. Those who have watched the film have unanimously appreciated too and now it’s all about audiences getting that extra...

Box Office – Munjya jumps huge again on Saturday, all set to cross 50 crores today(Photo Credit –Facebook)

As expected, there was very good jump in collections on Saturday for Munjya as the numbers pretty much doubled up over Friday [3.75 crores]. Anything over 5 crores would have been quite impressive as well and here they have gone all the way up to 6.75 crores, which is simply phenomenal. In fact, the collections are not far off from the last Saturday numbers of 7.40 crores.

What’s all the more remarkable is that the collections have zoomed up even with Chandu Champion as competition. That film hasn’t gone berserk but still saw a solid jump on Saturday. Still, if Munjya is collecting so much, it shows that audiences have really liked the film and are arriving in hordes to catch it even in its second week. The word of mouth is going in favor of...

Kartik Aaryan’s Chandu Champion has been making all kind of right noises and has even opened upto decent numbers on the opening day. Though it is not one of the brightest openings for the Pyaar Ka Punchnama actor, considering the genre of the film the numbers are decent.

Chandu Champion Day 1 Box Office

On the opening day, Kabir Khan’s sports drama collected 5.4 crore at the box office, which is a hopeful number. What brings more hope for Murlikant Petkar biopic is the good word of mouth indicating the growth of the film over the weekend.

Surpasses Maidaan!

Chandu Champion has surpassed Maidaan at the box office. Ajay Devgn‘s sports drama collected 5 crore on the opening day, excluding the paid previews. However, the critical acclaim came around for Syed Abdul Rahim’s sports biopic as well.

Box Office – Chandu Champion is amongst Top-10 openers of 2024, is similar to another sports biopic drama Maidaan (Photo Credit – YouTube )

Chandu Champion has found a place amongst the Top-10 openers of 2024. With 5.40 crores coming on its first day, the collection is just a little over another sports biopic drama set in the bygone era, Maidaan. That film had arrived on Eid but had a clash with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which evened out the advantage. On the other hand, Chandu Champion has arrived solo on a regular working day, but has to compete with last week’s Munjya. So in that sense, there is hardly much to differentiate the two films in terms having advantage at the box office.

It also goes on to show that the genre has its limitations when it comes to the opening day numbers. Yes, in the past films like Gold, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Mary Kom...

Box Office – Chandu Champion has a fair start, word of mouth is very good(Photo Credit –YouTube)

Less than a year after SatyaPrem Ki Katha, Kartik Aaryan is back on the big screen with Chandu Champion. The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala who had also produced SatyaPrem Ki Katha and all eyes were on how this sports biopic would open at the box office. The director of this film, Kabir Khan, had last directed This Is 83, which too was a sports drama and this time around it was obvious on the basis of Chandu Champion’s trailer that emotions will have a large role to play.

A double digit start would have been really apt for the film given the credentials involved as well as the scale and budget. However, the collections have come to 5.40 crores which is just about fair. That said, box office has anyways become quite...

The initial box office performance of Kartik Aryan’s film “Chandu Champion” seems to have had a mixed start. Here’s a breakdown based on the information provided:

Day 1 Performance:

The film started slow, with morning shows performing below expectations. However, there was some improvement in the evening shows, especially in urban centers. The affordable ticket pricing at ₹150 did not significantly impact the overall total for the day.

Audience Contribution:

National chains and urban centers played a significant role in the Day 1 box office collections. However, the film faced challenges in mass pockets and single screens.

Kartik Aaryan Once Called Out Badshah After Being Called Overrated By The Rapper(Photo Credit –Instagram/Facebook)

Karan Johar’s coffee couch is probably the most vulnerable yet the most controversial space for Bollywood celebrities, where they have spoken about the good, the bad, and the ugly. However, none of it might be the gospel truth. And it was on this very couch when Kartik Aaryan once called out Baadshah for belittling him on the same show.

So, in one of the episodes of Koffee with Karan, Karan Johar asked the Chandu Champion actor to name one overrated actor in the industry, and he refused to do so, saying, he is just stepping his foot in the industry.

Kartik Aaryan further denied calling anyone overrated since he did not believe in unfair and unjust name-calling. He told the filmmaker, “Abhi abhi chalu kiya hoon kaam. Kisi ko overrated bolna matlab…...

Chandu Champion

Starring Kartik Aaryan

Directed by Kabir Khan

Chandu Champion stands tall, and it stands in a league of its own. It is a fluent, furiously passionate look at the life of an extraordinary achiever who plunges headlong into whatever takes his fancy and then thinks about the consequences.

Murlikant Petkar’ s stunning achievements are not so much in the public eye. If the truth be told, most of us never heard of him until this film. It therefore comes as a surprise to see his breathtaking achievements being so diligently recreated on screen.This is the way a bio-pic should be: celebrating but not salivating over a remarkable life.

Kartik as Murli comes into his own with a performance that is redolent with industriousness . While Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev in Kabir Khan’s 83 attempted to impersonate the original, Kartik Aaryan doesn’t try to walk, talk and behave like Murlikant Petkar.
