The promotional wave for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has hit peak volume, and Thane witnessed the frenzy first-hand as the team took over Korum Mall ahead of the film’s theatrical release on June 5, 2026. With Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur leading the charge, the mall stop turned into a packed fan celebration marked by cheers, music and star power.
The promotional note summed up the mood perfectly: “Promotions are in full swing! The energy at Korum Mall, Thane was unmatched, and the love was louder than ever!” It further added, “The madness is only getting bigger as #HaiJawaniTohIshqHonaHai gears up for its grand release in theatres on June 5!”
Korum Mall Turns Into A Fan Carnival
The Thane appearance gave the film’s campaign a strong public-facing push, bringing the cast closer to audiences in the final stretch of promotions. For a mainstream Hindi entertainer built around romance, comedy and music, this kind of crowd connect matters, and the energy at Korum Mall gave the makers exactly the kind of visibility a big-screen release looks for.
Varun, Pooja and Mrunal’s presence also added freshness to the campaign. The trio has been positioned as the film’s central attraction, while the promotional tone leans into colourful, high-energy Bollywood entertainment. The title carries an unmistakable nostalgic flavour, but the packaging is aimed at today’s theatre-going audience, with glamour, ensemble humour and dance-driven appeal at its centre.
What Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Brings To The Big Screen
Directed by David Dhawan, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai brings the filmmaker back to the commercial zone he is strongly associated with, which includes music-led comedy, family-friendly chaos and star-driven storytelling.

The principal cast features Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur, while the ensemble includes Jimmy Shergill, Chunky Panday, Mouni Roy, King Ali Sagar, Rajesh Kumar, Rakesh Bedi and Kubbra Sait.

David Dhawan And Tips Films Reunite For A Massy Summer Play
For David Dhawan, the film marks another attempt to deliver a theatrical entertainer designed for the widest possible audience. The combination of a young lead cast, a busy supporting lineup and a strong music push gives the campaign a distinctly old-school Bollywood heartbeat with a contemporary promotional burst.
The title track also carries throwback value, with the original credited to Anu Malik, Sameer Ranjaan, Shankar Mahadevan and Hemaa Sardesai. With music on Tips and promotions gathering heat across fan hubs, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is entering its release week with the kind of noise a commercial entertainer needs.
