Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is facing strong criticism after unveiling the teaser and poster of Chand Mera Dil. The film stars Ananya Panday and Lakshay Lalwani.
The teaser suggests a romantic story where life moves faster than love. It hints at a young relationship that eventually faces real-life challenges and emotional struggles.
Within hours of its release, social media platforms were flooded with reactions. Many users questioned the direction in which Dharma Productions is heading with its recent films.
One viral comment criticised the film harshly. It claimed that Dharma is once again focusing on glamour-driven storytelling with familiar casting choices and predictable themes.
Another user made a controversial allegation about Karan Johar. While such claims appear exaggerated, they added to the growing online negativity surrounding the film.
Several viewers believe Dharma Productions is facing an identity crisis. They feel the production house is now relying on repetitive formulas that lack emotional depth.
Many compared the current phase with earlier films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kal Ho Na Ho, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…, Wake Up Sid and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. These films are still seen as benchmarks for storytelling and emotional connection.
Critics say Dharma’s recent films focus too much on style and surface-level elements. This shift has reportedly reduced their impact among audiences who now expect stronger content.
Karan Johar continues to face criticism over creative stagnation and favouritism. Meanwhile, Dharma Productions is struggling to recreate the success of its earlier iconic films.
One social media user summed it up by comparing Chand Mera Dil to a mix of Aashiqui 2, Kabir Singh and Saiyaara, pointing out its predictable narrative style.
Directed by Vivek Soni, Chand Mera Dil is scheduled for a theatrical release on 22 May 2026.
