Chand Mera Dil is showing the kind of staying power that romantic dramas need after the opening-weekend noise settles. The Lakshya and Ananya Panday starrer has kept its momentum alive into week two, and its second Friday performance has given the film a solid springboard heading into the weekend.
What makes the hold more notable is the timing. With the IPL playoffs commanding heavy attention across prime viewing hours, theatrical footfalls were always expected to face pressure. Yet Chand Mera Dil managed to keep drawing young moviegoers, especially Gen Z viewers who have been responding to the film’s romance, music and lead pairing.
Chand Mera Dil Holds Strong On Second Friday
Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that Chand Mera Dil collected ₹1.25 crore on its second Friday, taking its total box office collection to ₹22.46 crore. For a youth-focused romantic drama, this is a healthy hold at a stage where word of mouth begins to matter more than the initial curiosity around the release.
The film’s continued traction suggests that the Lakshya and Ananya Panday pairing has found resonance among its intended audience. Its emotional beats and contemporary relationship setting have helped it stay in conversation, particularly with younger viewers who are driving the film’s theatrical momentum.
The second weekend will now be crucial for the film’s overall run. A good jump across Saturday and Sunday can strengthen its position further and help Chand Mera Dil build on the audience goodwill it has earned since release.

Dharma’S College Romance Banks On Lakshya And Ananya Panday’S Fresh Pairing
Chand Mera Dil is a 2026 Hindi romantic drama directed by Vivek Soni and produced by Dharma Productions. The film stars Ananya Panday and Lakshya in the lead roles, with Sachin-Jigar credited for the music.
The story follows two college lovers whose relationship is tested as they move into adulthood and confront responsibility, emotional conflict and changing ideas of love. Released in theatres on May 22, 2026, the film has positioned itself as a modern romance aimed squarely at young urban audiences.
Lakshya, who broke out in a sharply different space with Kill, shifts gears here into a softer romantic zone. Ananya Panday, meanwhile, continues to lean into contemporary, youth-driven stories after building a strong digital and theatrical presence in recent years. Their pairing has become one of the film’s strongest conversation points.
If Chand Mera Dil manages to grow over Saturday and Sunday, it can enter the coming weekdays with a stronger cushion and a clearer identity as a multiplex-friendly romance. For a genre that depends heavily on sustained affection rather than front-loaded frenzy, this weekend could decide how far the film travels beyond its initial buzz.
