Chand Mera Dil Box Office Collection Day 1: Ananya Panday & Lakshya's Romantic Drama Sees Low Opening, Earns ₹2.90 Crore

Chand Mera Dil, starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya, hit theatres on May 22 (Friday) amid decent buzz among young audiences. Backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, the romantic drama opened to a slow start at the Indian box office on its first day. Despite its fresh pairing and urban love story appeal, the film witnessed modest footfalls across multiplexes and mass circuits alike.

Chand Mera Dil Box Office Collection Day 1

According to Sacnilk, Chand Mera Dil opened to Rs 2.90 crore on day 1 across 4,944 shows nationwide. With this, the film’s total India gross collection stands at Rs 3.39 crore, while the total India net collection currently remains Rs 2.90 crore. The opening numbers are considered underwhelming for a Dharma-backed theatrical release.

Chand Mera Dil Budget

The makers of Chand Mera Dil have not officially revealed the film's budget yet, but several reports suggest that the Dharma Productions venture was made on an estimated budget of Rs 40 crore. However, the film will need to witness a significant jump in collections over the weekend to post strong numbers at the box office.

Free Press Journal's Chand Mera Dil Review

The reviewer at The Free Press Journal gave Chand Mera Dil 3.5 stars, and the review of the film read: "Chand Mera Dil rides entirely on the shoulders of its two leads- Lakshya and Ananya Panday. Both seemingly put in their best effort to ensure the film does wonders at the box office. After having directed the 2021’s romantic comedy Meenakshi Sundareshwar (starring Sanya Malhotra and Abhimanyu Dassani) Vivek Soni tries his hand in direction yet again with Chand Mera Dil."

All eyes are now on the weekend collections, which could decide whether Chand Mera Dil manages to recover from its slow opening and gain momentum at the box office.
