Box office competition
‘Chand Mera Dil’ has had to fight hard for screens and audiences since its release. It clashed directly with the Hollywood release of ‘Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu’ on May 22, 2026, and has also shared screens with Ayushmann Khurrana’s ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh Do’ which is in its second week. Navigating this crowded theatrical landscape, the film’s 1st week run can be considered a reasonable hold considering the circumstances.
