Chand Mera Dil Day 6 Box Office: India Net Reaches Rs. 1.90 Cr; Total Collection Hits Rs. 17.25 Cr
BY SACNILK
The romantic drama genre in Bollywood has been going through a bit of a quiet phase in 2026, with none of the releases so far managing to truly outshine the rest or post massive numbers. Chand Mera Dil is currently navigating this challenging landscape, trying to find an audience that still appreciates soft, emotional storytelling. While it is one of the top romantic performers of the year, it is clear that the genre as a whole is operating at a much smaller scale compared to the action blockbusters that have dominated the box office lately.
On its sixth day, the film collected a net of ₹1.90 Cr across 4,138 shows. This is a 9.5 percent drop from Tuesday, which saw a net of ₹2.10 Cr. This kind of decline is expected during the middle of the week for a film in this category. So far, the total India net collection stands at ₹17.25 Cr, while the total India gross has reached ₹20.38 Cr after nearly a week in theaters.
If we look at the romantic genre specifically this year, the film has actually managed to secure the second-highest opening day for a Bollywood romance in 2026. It only trails Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, which opened with a ₹4.00 Cr net. The fact that a ₹1.90 Cr weekday is considered a steady performance highlights just how modest the collections have been for romantic films this year, as no movie in this genre has yet managed to record a breakout success.

For Ananya Panday, this release marks a significant shift in her box office trajectory, as the opening has turned out to be the lowest of her career so far. In the past, her films have generally seen much stronger starts. For instance, Liger opened with ₹15.95 Cr, Student Of The Year 2 did ₹12.06 Cr, and Dream Girl 2 started with ₹10.69 Cr. Even her other releases like Pati Patni Aur Woh at ₹9.10 Cr and Kesari Chapter 2 at ₹7.76 Cr opened well above the levels seen with this film.
In the national chains, the sixth-day footfalls remained modest. PVR recorded approximately 760 tickets with a gross of ₹2.38L. INOX added about 360 tickets for a gross of ₹72K, and Cinepolis contributed roughly 240 tickets with a gross of ₹44K. In total, the three major chains accounted for about 1,370 tickets and a combined gross of over ₹3.30L for the day. On BookMyShow, the film saw 32.34K tickets sold in the last 24 hours, taking its total sales on the platform to 325.93K so far.
Globally, the film is seeing some minor contributions from international markets. On Day 6, it collected ₹0.25 Cr overseas, bringing the total overseas gross to ₹2.90 Cr. Combined with the India gross of ₹20.38 Cr, the worldwide gross collection now stands at ₹23.28 Cr. Across its entire run so far, the film has played in 26,838 shows.
In terms of regional interest, Mumbai and Bengaluru are the strongest performers, showing occupancy rates of 16.5 percent and 14.3 percent respectively. Other regions like the National Capital Region and Ahmedabad are hovering around the 10 percent mark. As the first week draws to a close, the film will need to maintain this level of stability to make the most of its remaining theatrical window before new releases arrive.
