Chand Mera Dil, featuring Lakshya and Ananya Panday in lead roles, is showing decent momentum in advance booking ahead of its theatrical release. As of 11:30 PM on May 20, the romantic drama had sold nearly 9,000 tickets across the top national multiplex chains, PVR Inox and Cinepolis, for its opening day.
With another day remaining before release, the film is expected to witness stronger spot bookings and could wrap up its advance sales in the range of 20,000 to 25,000 tickets in the national chains. Going by the current trend, the movie is likely to open in the vicinity of Rs. 4 crore to Rs. 5 crore nett at the Indian box office, which would be considered a respectable start considering the scale and budget of the project.
The ultimate box office performance of Chand Mera Dil will largely depend on audience reception and word-of-mouth. If viewers connect with the story and performances, the film could emerge as another successful mid-range Hindi release this year. Directed by Vivek Soni, the movie is expected to enjoy an uninterrupted theatrical run for nearly two weeks before facing competition from Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and Bandar on June 5.
One of the major reasons behind the encouraging advance sales appears to be the affordable ticket pricing strategy adopted by the makers. Tickets for shows before 5 PM on Friday, May 22, 2026, have been priced at Rs. 149, while evening and night shows are available at Rs. 199. The pricing model could help attract more footfalls, especially for a relatively modestly budgeted romantic drama.
