The much-awaited romantic-drama film ‘Chand Mera Dil’ starring Bollywood’s rising star Lakshya and beautiful actress Ananya Panday has hit the theaters today, i.e. on 22 May 2026. An attempt has been made in this film to capture the modern-day love story of marriage, sudden responsibilities, children and career. If you are also thinking of visiting theaters this weekend and booking tickets for this film, then first read our quick and honest review (Movie Review), so that both your money and mood are saved from getting spoiled.

What is the story of the film ‘Chand Mera Dil’?

The fabric of the film is woven around Chandni (Ananya Pandey) and Aarav (Lakshya). Both of them meet in a college in Hyderabad, the city of nawabs. Within no time, both of them fall deeply in love, but the story takes a twist when Chandni becomes pregnant even before marriage. Despite all the social pressures, Chandni takes a big decision of becoming a mother and both of them get married in a hurry.

In the beginning, everything is like a beautiful dream and very romantic for both of them, but as soon as the real responsibilities of life come to the fore, their home starts falling apart.

Those weak aspects of the film which disappoint the audience

Weak start without head and feet: The first 30 minutes of the film can irritate and bore the audience to a great extent. While watching the movie, only one question will come to your mind again and again, “Who does this nowadays?” Many scenes seem completely absurd and absurd.

Severe lack of chemistry: The life of a romantic film is the chemistry of its lead pairs, but here that magical connection between Ananya and Lakshya seems to be completely missing. The film’s awkward camera angles repeatedly break the audience from the story. The result is that in the climax, when the pain of both of them emerges on the screen, the audience does not feel any sympathy for them.

Predictable Climax: The ending of the film is so predictable that the audience sitting in the theaters already knows what is going to happen next, which further increases the boredom in the film. Despite the good subject, the story does not seem realistic at all.

What is special in the film? Best music of Sachin-Jigar

The strongest and best aspect of this film is its wonderful music. The music given by the famous musician duo Sachin-Jigar is soothing to the ears. The two songs of the film ‘Ishq Nibhawan’ and its title track are being liked very much by the audience and help in improving the spoiled mood while watching the film.

Who won in terms of acting and who lagged behind?

Target (Aarav): Actor Lakshya, who proved his acting prowess with the film ‘Kill’, has once again proved that he is a very experienced artist. Lakshya has especially breathed life into the emotional scenes of the film. When they break down on screen, their pain feels so real and lifelike.

Ananya Panday (Chandni): On the acting front, Ananya Pandey still needs to work a lot on her art. No-doubt, Ananya looks very beautiful and glamorous on screen, but when it comes to emotional and serious dialogue delivery, she completely fails to reach the hearts of the audience through her character.

Final Verdict: Watch in theaters or wait for OTT?

The concept and topic of ‘Chand Mera Dil’ is certainly very good and relatable to today’s youth, but the weak screenplay and poor execution spoiled its fun. Film critics believe that if the makers had cast a non-popular or more talented actress in place of Ananya Pandey, then perhaps this film would have been worth watching in theatres.

Advice: Instead of spending money by going to the theater this weekend, your best option would be to watch this movie. OTT platform But wait for the release!
