David Dhawan’s return to full-throttle theatrical comedy has moved one step closer to the big screen. Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, starring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde, has completed its certification process, setting up a crisp final countdown to its June 5, 2026 release.
The update lands at the perfect moment for a film that is being sold on rhythm, colour, comic confusion and the unmistakable David Dhawan flavour. With Tips Films mounting the release, the makers are now sharpening the campaign around its certified family-audience appeal and theatrical energy.
U/A Certificate Locks A 136 Minute David Dhawan Entertainer
Announcing the censor update, the makers captured the film’s pitch in one high-energy line: “Certified U/A with a runtime of 136 minutes of full-on David Dhawan entertainment”
That phrasing is telling. Rather than pushing a plot-heavy reveal, the campaign is leaning into a mood audiences instantly associate with the filmmaker: fast comic beats, romantic chaos and a soundtrack-led big-screen package. The post continued the same spirit as it invited audiences into the film’s central ensemble, saying, “Get ready for the madness with Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur & Pooja Hegde in #HaiJawaniTohIshqHonaHai”
The release plan was reaffirmed without ambiguity: “Releasing in theatres this June 5th!” The music association was also highlighted with “Music on @tips”, while the banner stamp came through with “A Tips Films Release”
With the certification now in place, the film enters its last promotional lap with a clear promise: not reinvention, but a polished return to the kind of mainstream Hindi comedy space David Dhawan helped define over decades.
What The Film Brings Together
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is directed by David Dhawan and produced by Ramesh Taurani under Tips Films. The film features Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in key roles, with Maniesh Paul, Chunky Panday, Jimmy Sheirgill and Mouni Roy adding to the ensemble.
The film is designed as a romantic comedy with a broad theatrical texture. Its premise has been kept light in the campaign so far, pointing to love, mistaken situations and ensemble-driven comic momentum rather than revealing major story turns.
For Varun Dhawan, the project carries the added curiosity of another collaboration with David Dhawan after Main Tera Hero, Judwaa 2 and Coolie No. 1. The father-son combination has traditionally operated in a heightened commercial zone, and this film appears to bring that grammar back with a refreshed cast mix.
The sharper takeaway is simple: Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is arriving as a deliberately unapologetic David Dhawan entertainer. At 136 minutes, with a U/A certificate and a June 5 theatrical release locked, the film now has its runway ready. The next test is whether that familiar comic pulse still finds the same noisy response inside cinemas.
