Yes, Chandrayaan-1 already crash landed on moon once. The new part of this mission is soft landing for a rover, which will only happen in early September.

Chandrayaan-1 operated for 312 days and seven years later it was found still circling the moon [1]. The Moon Impact Probe (MIP) crash-landed on the moon, possibly by design.
