Chand Mera Dil, a new romantic drama featuring Lakshya Lalwani and Ananya Panday, showed early promise at the box office after starting the weekend with just a modest release. With increased audience response and rapid weekend attendance, the film collection surged on Saturday and remained consistently strong on Sunday.
Younger audiences, in particular, appreciated the film’s constructed reality, modern relationships, and emotional storytelling and soothing background music. Though audience attendance in many areas remained low, weekend show attendance was much stronger in the evenings and late at night.
Trade experts note that strong word of mouth about the film is helping it gain traction with audiences, passing through a crowded competitive release. Especially, good attendance is being reported in shows featuring college romance, and in shows featuring the lead actors’ chemistry.
The sustained weekend growth in film collections suggests that the film is benefiting from both direct audience recommendations and online discussions. If evening shows in metro and multiplex locations remain strong, Sunday collections may finish with some of their strongest numbers.
