EXCLUSIVE: Chand Mera Dil gets LONGER by 11 minutes just before release; CBFC clears prolonged cut with 8 recent scenes
It has now come to light that the makers have prolonged the film by 11 minutes. Yesterday, on May 20, the makers once more approached the CBFC to tell that they’ve voluntarily added some scenes to the film and wanted those portions cleared as well. Accordingly, the CBFC viewed the prolonged cut and passed the film.
As per the list, 8 scenes have been added. While some are merely 9 seconds, 16 seconds and 35 seconds long, others have a duration starting from 1 minute 1 second to 1 minute 34 seconds. One scene in the primary half has a runtime of three minutes and 55 seconds. The whole duration of those 8 added scenes is 10 minutes and 17 seconds.
Accordingly, the brand new run time of Chand Mera Dil is 145.53 minutes, that’s, 2 hours, 25 minutes and 53 seconds.
Chand Mera Dil stars Lakshya and Ananya Panday in leading roles. It’s directed by Vivek Soni of Meenakshi Sundareshwar (2021) and Aap Jaisa Koi (2025) fame and produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Somen Mishra and Marijke deSouza.
On Saturday, May 16, Bollywood Hungama exclusively reported that on the day of its release, May 22, tickets for all shows before 5:00 pm will likely be available for just Rs. 149. After 5:00 pm, the tickets will likely be sold for Rs. 199.
Meanwhile, the advance booking of Chand Mera Dil is yet to open in a couple of cinemas in Mumbai like Miraj Goregaon, Ajanta Borivali, Bahar Vile Parle, K T Vision Vasai, PVR Le Reve Bandra and Maxus Kandivali. Advance booking began only at 4:30 pm on Thursday in theatres like Mukta Jai Hind Lalbaug, MovieTime Star City, MovieTime Suburbia and Gold Dadar.
An exhibitor told us, “The team of Dharma has been extremely reasonable and haven’t asked for too many shows. Nonetheless, the Marathi film Deool Band 2 has emerged as a surprise and is doing significantly better than expectations. In certain pockets, the Marathi flick had more demand. Furthermore, the brand new runtime of Chand Mera Dil meant that programmers had to return to the drafting board to replan the show schedules. Nonetheless, in a couple of hours, all cinemas will throw open their bookings.”
