Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Full Cast Story & Release

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai – Complete Details

About the Movie

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is an upcoming Hindi romantic comedy-drama directed by David Dhawan. Known for his signature style of mixing romance, humor, and peppy songs, David Dhawan is bringing back his iconic 90s–2000s vibe with this film.

The title itself is taken from a popular song from his 1999 film Biwi No. 1 starring Salman Khan and Karisma Kapoor, which sets a nostalgic tone for the movie.

This film also marks David Dhawan’s reunion with his son Varun Dhawan after hits like Main Tera Hero, Judwaa 2, and Coolie No.1 (2020 remake).
