Chand Mera Dil Releases in Theaters, Earns Mixed Reviews

The romantic drama "Chand Mera Dil," directed by Vivek Soni and produced by Dharma Productions, has been released in theaters worldwide. The film, starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya in the lead roles, follows the relationship of two engineering students in Hyderabad whose unexpected pregnancy forces them into marriage before they are emotionally and financially prepared.

The story begins in 2017 when Aarav Rawat, played by Lakshya, meets Chandni Prasad, played by Ananya Panday, on the first day of college. Their romance develops quickly, but when Chandni becomes pregnant, Aarav initially urges her to abort. She refuses, and despite family opposition, the couple marries and has a daughter named Kavya. The film then shifts focus to the strain of early parenthood, sleepless nights, financial pressure, and Aarav’s growing frustration. A moment of physical aggression from Aarav prompts Chandni to leave him, citing a desire to break a cycle of generational trauma inherited from her own mother. She sends a divorce notice and later becomes engaged to a colleague named Kevin. After Aarav returns from studying abroad, the two reconcile following a series of emotional confrontations.
