For a Hindi romantic comedy released into a competitive box office corridor, that is a significant update. The latest numbers suggest that the David Dhawan film has managed to hold audience attention well beyond its opening frame, giving the title a solid theatrical run through June.
The Latest Box Office Milestone
The newest update from the film’s team states that Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has crossed Rs 58 crore nett in India and Rs 82 crore worldwide gross. That pushes the Varun Dhawan starrer into a strong commercial zone, especially for a genre that depends heavily on repeat family audiences and steady weekend traction. Film added 14.75 crore nett in 2nd week in India after 43.53 crore nett in 1st week. Film added 13.80 crore gross in overseas too.
Released in theatres on June 5, 2026, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is directed by David Dhawan and produced by Ramesh Taurani under Tips Films, with Gaurav Bose co-producing for Maximilian Films. The lead cast features Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde, while Maniesh Paul, Chunky Panday, Jimmy Sheirgill and Mouni Roy appear in supporting roles.

The film is a Hindi romantic comedy that leans into relationship chaos and classic misunderstandings. At the centre is a man whose personal life turns increasingly tangled, setting up the broad, confusion-fuelled comic energy that has long been associated with David Dhawan’s mainstream style.
A Commercial Lift For A Familiar Genre
This run matters because Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai arrived as a throwback-style crowd-pleaser at a time when straight comedy has become a tougher sell in theatres. Its latest box office jump indicates that the film has found enough acceptance among audiences to stay active in cinemas and build on word of mouth.
The release has also carried added emotional value because it has been widely positioned as David Dhawan’s final directorial venture. That gave the film a layer of nostalgia, with Varun Dhawan fronting a project that taps directly into the filmmaker’s signature brand of high-energy family comedy.
Varun Dhawan’s Recent And Upcoming Work
For Varun Dhawan, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is one of his headline 2026 theatrical releases. He was also seen in Border 2 in 2026, which had already been released before this latest box office update. Earlier in the past few years, his theatrical releases included Bawaal in 2023 and Baby John in 2024. On the streaming side, he led Citadel: Honey Bunny, the action series co-starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
The actor’s current phase reflects a balance between mainstream big-screen entertainers and high-visibility OTT titles. With Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai still running in theatres and Border 2 adding scale to his recent filmography, Varun remains firmly positioned in the commercial Hindi film space.
