Director Vivek Soni’s romantic drama Chand Mera Dil, starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya, has completed its first week at the box office with an estimated worldwide gross collection of Rs 26.03 crore.

The film followed the typical box office trend of a strong opening weekend, followed by a sharp Monday dip and mid-week stabilisation.
The Day 7 growth offers a modest but positive signal heading into its second weekend.
Tough Box Office Competition
The romantic drama has had to navigate a crowded release window.
It clashed with Hollywood release Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, which hit theatres on May 22, 2026.
The film is also sharing screens with Ayushmann Khurrana’s Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, currently running in its second week.
Given this competitive landscape, the film’s first-week performance is being viewed as a respectable hold.
Ananya Panday’s Dance Sequence Goes Viral
Away from ticket sales, Ananya Panday’s contemporary Bharatanatyam-inspired dance sequence from the film has become a major talking point online.
While some social media users trolled the actress over her performance, others praised the film for its refreshing and healthy portrayal of modern romance, highlighting the chemistry between the lead pair.
