Lakshya and Ananya Panday’s romantic drama ‘Chand Mera Dil’ has crossed ₹10 crore at the box office by its third day, showing slight growth on Sunday. Despite this, the film continues to struggle amidst low hype and lukewarm reviews, facing tough comparisons with other recent releases.
Weekend Performance & Collections
Chand Mera Dil has fared much lower than last year’s Saiyaara , starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, which broke records upon release and went on to become the highest-grossing romantic film in Indian cinema. However, Lakshya and Ananya’s film holds a position higher than the collections of Ek Din so far. The Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi starrer had collected ₹ 1.07 crore on its first Sunday. Ananya’s last release, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri had collected more than Chand Mera Dil on its first Sunday, at ₹ 5.5 crore.
Comparing Box Office Rivals
The film revolves around the two characters who meet during their college days in Hyderabad, fall in love and soon find themselves dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. She decides to keep the baby, and the couple gets married. However, their relationship soon begins to face trouble under pressure and frustration. One argument eventually turns violent, which becomes a turning point in the story and forms the central conflict of the film.
Plot & Star Power Analysis
While Ananya Panday and Lakshya are sharing screen space together for the first time in a feature film, the duo has previously appeared together in multiple advertisements. Interestingly, Chand Mera Dil also marks only Lakshya’s third project since transitioning from television to films. Lakshya was last seen in The Ba***ds of Bollywood, created by Aryan Khan.
While ‘Chand Mera Dil’ managed to cross the ₹10 crore mark, its overall box office journey remains challenging. The film’s struggle highlights the impact of low hype and critical reception on even star-studded releases, leaving its future performance uncertain.
