Box office competition
‘Chand Mera Dil’ had to fight hard for screens and audiences right from its opening day. Directly clashing with the Hollywood release of ‘Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu’ on May 22, 2026, it also shares 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 first week performance could be seen as a reasonable postponement given the circumstances.
Ananya Panday’s Bharatanatyam moment is going viral
Beyond the box office, ‘Chand Mera Dil’ has sparked a lot of conversations online, and not all of it for the right reasons.
