Swapna Cinema has added another feather to its cap as Champion, the period sports action drama starring Roshan Meka and Anaswara Rajan, races ahead as the profitable ventures for the producers. Directed by Pradeep Advaitham, the film has shown amazing staying power at the box office, emerging as the clear winner among the Christmas holiday releases.
The film’s growth has been steady and impressive, with collections accelerating over the weekend and crossing the 11.5 crore mark worldwide in just four days. Strong audience turnout on Sunday alone contributed over 2.6 crore.
A major factor behind this success is Swapna Cinema’s smart pre-release strategy. The production house had already secured its investment through non-theatrical deals. This meant the film entered theatres as a risk-free venture, with box office revenues translating directly into surplus returns.
Champion has clearly outperformed all other festive outings, enjoying strong traction on BookMyShow and impressive occupancy in A-centre markets.
Roshan Meka has drawn widespread acclaim for his controlled and impactful performance, with many critics and cine goers hailing it as the most accomplished role of his career so far. The film has also become his highest-grossing outing to date, marking an important turning point in his filmography.
With New Year holidays still ahead and no major releases posing a threat in the immediate window, Champion is set to continue its strong run at the box office.
