Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Twitter Reviews


Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, starring Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur, finally arrived in theatres on June 5, 2026. After leaving fans and audiences hooked with its teaser, trailers, and peppy tracks, the film lived up to the expectations of few. A user “Now watching the last movie of one of my favourite directors ever, #DavidDhawan sir. The first half of #HaiJawaniTohIshqHonaHai moves at a breakneck pace and gives you little time to think. Song picturisation and locales are gorgeous. There are a lot of references to David sir’s earlier films including #MujhseShaadiKarogi, #DulhanHumLeJayenge and #Partner. Humour is situational and works fine. Punchlines, however, could have been funnier. #VarunDhawan does a fair job so far in what is a bread-and-butter role for him. #MrunalThakur and #PoojaHegde are looking stunning.” 

Another netizen opined, “first day first show for my baby. just hit intermission and this might be the first time in years where i’m actually having fun and not disappointed by a hindi rom com.” Continuing the streak of positive reviews, a fan shared, “#PoojaHegde delivers a performance full of grace and confidence in #HaiJawaniTohIshqHonaHai. She owns every moment and leaves a lasting impact.” One user called the film a crazy entertainer and wrote, “#HaiJawaniTohIshqHonaHai Review: CRAZY ENTERTAINER! RATING – 3.5/5. Varun Dhawan in an absolute beast mode, back to that Main Tera Hero and Judwaa 2 wild character with non-stop madness and dialogues

On the other hand, a expressed disappointment stating, “#HaiJawaniTohIshqHonaHai Review: /5: Cringe. Comedy that doesn’t land in a well-developed story. Comedy is subjective and it didn’t work for me – I went with zero expectations and it still disappointed me. I’m not a fan of double-meaning jokes and comedy; maybe that’s why it disappointed me. #VarunDhawan should seriously consider doing serious characters rather than cringe-comedy ones.”
