Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Day 1 Collection: Did Varun Dhawan's Film Have a Good Start? Let's Find Out

  • Director David Dhawan released 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' , a comedy starring Varun Dhawan as a man juggling two simultaneous pregnancies with a hero pushing 40 and dated values.
  • With their divorce six months away, Jas and his wife Baani clash over children; Jas wants them while career-focused Baani does not. While waiting, Jas meets Preet in London.
  • The 136-minute film draws its premise from the 1984 movie 'Micki & Maude,' incorporating 1990s hit songs as Jas spends the runtime haring between the two women with friend Maniesh Paul in tow.
  • Written by Yunus Sajawal with dialogue by Farhad Samji, the film is described as rushing to escape its mediocrity, while supporting actors like Chunky Panday, Rakesh Bedi, Mouni Roy, and Ali Asgar are considered disposable.
  • Preet's brother, Randhawa , adds tension by repeatedly reaching for his gun; this contrived chaos reflects the latter phase of director Dhawan's career post-Govinda and post-Kader Khan, though Varun Dhawan displays remarkable energy.
