The Weekend Is Everything Now
The film, backed by Dharma Productions, garnered a mixed bag of audience reactions — which is somewhat concerning for its box office potential, as a more positive reception would have translated to a significantly better outing.
The romantic drama is projected to close its second weekend around Rs. 23 crore, contingent on a good spike on Saturday and Sunday. That kind of weekend jump is doable, but the word-of-mouth needs to work in its favour over the next 48 hours.

The Bigger Picture — Can Romance Films Still Work?
Small and mid-sized romantic films have broadly struggled in the post-pandemic era, though notable exceptions like Saiyaara and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat proved big hits — leaving genuine curiosity around whether Chand Mera Dil can stage a similar surprise in the coming days.
Lakshya is a fresh face making his Bollywood debut, and Ananya Panday has been steadily building audience goodwill. The film’s fate in Week 2 will be a telling indicator of both their star power and the appetite for heartfelt Bollywood romance in 2026.
