Box office competition
‘Chand Mera Dil’ has had to fight hard for screens and audiences since its opening day. It clashed directly with the Hollywood release ‘Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu’ on May 22, 2026, and has also been sharing screens with Ayushmann Khurrana’s ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh Do’, which is currently in its second week. Navigating this crowded theatrical landscape, the film’s Week 1 performance can be considered a reasonable hold given the circumstances.
Ananya Panday’s Bharatanatyam moment goes viral
Away from the box office, ‘Chand Mera Dil’ has sparked plenty of conversation online, and not all of it for the right reasons. Ananya Panday’s contemporary Bharatanatyam dance number in the film went viral, with netizens trolling the actress over her moves. However, the film has also drawn praise for its grounded and healthy portrayal of love, with audiences appreciating that the lead pair’s dynamic steers clear of toxic relationship tropes.
