Chand Mera Dil Box Office Day 1: Ananya's Film Sees Disappointing Start; Earns 7 Times Less Than Saiyaara

Chand Mera Dil Box Office Collection Day 1: Chand Mera Dil has been one of early 2026's most discussed releases. The campus love story, directed by Vivek Soni, featured Ananya Panday, Lakshya and Aastha Singh in lead roles. Trade circles treated the film as a key title in the year's first quarter. The plot of Chand Mera Dil unfolded at an engineering college campus, where Chandni, played by Ananya Panday, met Aarav, played by Lakshya. Their romance grew quickly but soon faced pressure. The story followed how their ideas about love changed when career plans and family worries entered the picture.

Ananya Panday came into Chand Mera Dil after a busy 2025, which included Kesari Chapter 2 and Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. With that run, Chand Mera Dil added another major title to Ananya Panday's filmography. The project also helped place Lakshya and Aastha Singh in stronger positions within mainstream Hindi cinema. Supporting performers Aastha Singh and Resad Ajim rounded out the core group around the central couple. Their characters were written to mirror different responses to ambition and attachment during college. Released amid a mixed response, Chand Mera Dil witnessed a disappointing start at the box office

Interestingly, as Chand Mera Dil has been facing comparisons with Saiyaara, this Ananya starrer has minted over 7 times less than Ahan Panday and Aneet Padda's romantic drama. For the uninitiated, Saiyaara had minted Rs 21.5cr on its opening day. This isn't all. Chand Mera Dil, which recorded highest opening for Lakshya, has emerged as Ananya lowest opener ever.

Meanwhile, talking about working with Ananya, Lakshya told, "She is very giving. She is a wonderful human being. It's very easy to work with her and it's very easy to communicate with her. Before every scene, we talk and discuss. It doesn't feel as if I am working with someone who has fame. She doesn't take herself very seriously, which is absolutely amazing about her".
