Dharma’s ‘Chand Mera Dil’ to Close May with a Youthful Spark

Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is set to end the month on a high note with Chand Mera Dil, releasing on May 22, 2026. Starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya, the film is being touted as a classic "passionate college romance" that transitions into the harsh realities of adulthood.

The Return of the College Romance

Directed by Vivek Soni, the film aims to capture the nostalgia and intensity of first love. Ananya Panday plays Chandni, while Lakshya—making a major push into the leading man space—plays Aarav. The story reportedly spans several years, showing how the idealism of youth is tested by the responsibilities and career pressures of the real world.

Sachin-Jigar’s Musical Magic

As with any Dharma production, music plays a central role. The duo Sachin-Jigar has composed a soundtrack that is already being described as the "romance anthem of the year" by internal sources. With lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, the songs are expected to be youth-centric, blending contemporary beats with soul-stirring melodies.

A First-Time Pairing

The chemistry between Ananya and Lakshya has been a talking point since the project was first announced. "They bring a very fresh, vibrant energy to the screen," said a source close to the production. The film is expected to resonate particularly well with Gen-Z and millennial audiences, filling a gap for a straightforward, high-budget romantic musical in the current market.
