Chand Mera Dil box office collection day 9: Lakshya and Ananya Panday’s romantic drama released in theatres last Friday and received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. The film opened to a sluggish start at the box office and registered only marginal growth over its opening weekend. Since then, the film has shown little to no improvement in its box office collections.

The latest update on Sacnilk states that Chand Mera Dil has collected 1.75 crore. It shows that the film has found no takers, even on a Saturday, as collections have barely spiked from previous days. On Friday, the film minted 1.30 crore. Thursday, which was a holiday due to Eid, saw some growth at 2.20 crore. Its highest single-day collection is still at 4.25 crore, which was made on its third day of release.

This brings the total India gross collections to 26.39 crore and the total India net to 22.50 crore so far. The film is facing heat from multiple releases at the box office, the new Hollywood horror films Obsession, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, and the Bollywood film Pati Patni Aur Woh Do.

About Chand Mera Dil

A scene from Chand Mera Dil which shows Ananya's character Chandni perform a fusion classical dance – a mix of Bharatanatyam, hip-hop, and locking has attracted a lot of reactions. Everyone from classical dance exponents to writers has chipped in to either criticise or defend her. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Charu Shankar, who played Ananya Panday's mother in Chand Mera Dil, defended her.

“I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, but trolling is never in good taste. Conversations around art are valid. Mockery is not,” she says, adding, “The sequence being discussed was always conceived as a contemporary, edgy breakout introduction for Chandni’s character. In the film's visual storytelling, this moment announces the arrival of a young woman who is not afraid to break the rules.”
