Chand Mera Dil completed its first week at the Indian box office with a total collection of around Rs. 18.25 crore nett. The romantic drama collected Rs. 2.25 crore on Day 7, which was Thursday, showing a noticeable rise in collections due to the Eid al Adha holiday. The film recorded around a 20 per cent increase compared to the previous day.
Directed by Vivek Soni and backed by Dharma Productions, the movie stars Lakshya and Ananya Panday in lead roles. The film had a decent opening weekend but saw lower collections during the weekdays, which is common for many romantic dramas in recent years.
Trade reports suggest that Chand Mera Dil may perform better during its second weekend because there are no major new film releases arriving in theatres this weekend. The movie is expected to benefit from this open run and could cross the Rs. 25 crore mark by the end of its second Sunday if audience response remains stable.
The film also has some time before the release of upcoming movies like Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Bandar and Peddi, which may later affect its theatrical run. For now, the movie has a relatively clear period at the box office to improve its collections.
In recent years, small and medium budget romantic films have found it difficult to perform strongly in cinemas after the pandemic. Audience preferences have changed, and many films in this genre have struggled to attract large crowds. However, there have been a few successful exceptions such as Saiyaara and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which managed to become strong box office performers despite similar challenges.
Industry observers are now watching closely to see whether Chand Mera Dil can maintain steady collections over the coming days and emerge as another surprise success story in the romantic drama category.
The day wise box office collections of Chand Mera Dil are as follows:
Day 1 collection was Rs. 2.75 crore.
Day 2 collection was Rs. 3.50 crore.
Day 3 collection was Rs. 4.25 crore.
Day 4 collection was Rs. 2.00 crore.
Day 5 collection was Rs. 1.75 crore.
Day 6 collection was Rs. 1.75 crore.
Day 7 collection was Rs. 2.25 crore estimated.
The total first week collection of the movie now stands at Rs. 18.25 crore nett at the Indian box office.
