Bollywood’s freshest on-screen couple, Ananya Panday and Lakshya, are gearing up for a grand theatrical splash with their upcoming romantic drama, Chand Mera Dil. With a soulful soundtrack stirring hearts and an intense love story at its core, Dharma Productions is pulling out all stops to make sure the film resonates with college-goers and Gen Z cinephiles alike.

Pocket-Friendly Pricing Gambit

In an industry-first move, Dharma Productions is slashing ticket prices on opening day, Friday, May 22, 2026. Recognising that steep multiplex rates often keep younger audiences away, the studio has introduced a highly competitive fare for all shows before 5 pm at just ₹149. Even the evening slots won’t burn a hole in your pocket—tickets will cost a flat ₹199 post 5 pm.

Note: This special deal applies only to regular seating on day one and excludes recliners, IMAX, and premium formats. From Saturday onwards, standard weekend pricing resumes, so fans are urged to make the most of this limited-time offer.

Charting a Record Opening

With this wallet-friendly strategy, Chand Mera Dil aims to become the highest-grossing romantic opener of 2026. Dharma Productions already dominates half of the top 10 Bollywood romance debuts, thanks to hits like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Now, the spotlight is on whether Ananya and Lakshya’s film can surge ahead.
