Chand Mera Dil Box Office: Ananya Panday and Lakshya’s Love Story Wins Hearts But Struggles to Win Crowds

The reviews are warm. The performances are being praised. But the box office? That’s a different story. Chand Mera Dil, Dharma Productions’ latest romantic offering, wrapped its opening weekend on a muted note — and the road ahead looks challenging.

Chand Mera Dil Day-Wise Box Office Collections

Chand Mera Dil wrapped its first weekend at Rs. 10.25 crore nett at the Indian box office, with Rs. 4 crore coming in on Sunday — a 10 to 12 per cent jump from Saturday.

A Sunday jump is always welcome, but for a film of this scale and pedigree, Rs. 10.25 crore in three days is firmly on the lower end of expectations.

What Needs to Happen Next

The film now enters the crucial weekday phase — and the math is tight. The romantic drama needs to hold strong on Monday, around the Rs. 1.75 crore mark, to have a chance of recording a run of sorts over the next two weeks — until the release of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Peddi, and Bandar on June 5.

There is a small silver lining — a midweek holiday could provide a brief buffer. But beyond that, the film will need serious word-of-mouth momentum to sustain itself in theatres.

The Bigger Picture for Bollywood Romance

Small and mid-sized romantic drama films have suffered in the post-pandemic era. However, there were a few exceptions like Saiyaara and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which emerged as big hits at the box office. Whether Chand Mera Dil can follow in those footsteps depends entirely on how audiences respond in the days ahead.

The film has Ananya Panday in arguably the best form of her career — netizens have been calling her a “show stealer” — and debutant Lakshya has drawn praise too. Directed by Vivek Soni and produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, the film received mixed overall word-of-mouth with consistent praise for its performances and music.
