Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Box Office Collection Day 3: Varun Dhawan Film Stays Flat, Earns ₹22 Crore
Varun Dhawan’s latest romantic entertainer Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai continues its steady but underwhelming run at the box office. Despite strong buzz before release and a wide theatrical rollout, the film has shown limited growth over its opening weekend, with collections remaining largely flat.
Day 3 Box Office Collection
On its third day (Sunday), the film earned around ₹7–8 crore, taking its total India net collection to approximately ₹22 crore.
Weekend Breakdown (Estimated)
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹6.5 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹7.5 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹7–8 crore
- Total: ₹22 crore (approx.)
While the film has managed to stay consistent, it has not shown the strong weekend jump typically expected from a mainstream Bollywood romantic entertainer.
Why Is the Film Staying Flat?
Limited Growth Despite Wide Release
The film opened on a large number of screens, but occupancy has remained moderate. Even weekend shows did not witness the kind of surge that producers usually expect from Varun Dhawan-led commercial films.
Mixed Audience Response
Audience reactions have been divided. While younger viewers have appreciated the music and light-hearted romance, many critics have pointed out a predictable storyline, which may have affected repeat viewing and strong word-of-mouth growth.
Strong Competition in Theatres
The film is also facing competition from other ongoing releases, which has impacted its ability to dominate screens and shows in multiplex circuits.
Music and Promotions Not Enough
Although the film’s promotional campaign and soundtrack created initial hype, it has not fully translated into box office momentum beyond the opening weekend.
Varun Dhawan’s Performance
Varun Dhawan’s energetic screen presence remains one of the highlights of the film. However, even his star power has not been enough to push the movie into a higher box office bracket during its opening weekend.

Can the Film Grow Further?
The weekdays will now decide the film’s long-term performance. If it manages to maintain steady collections without major drops, it could aim for a moderate theatrical run. However, significant growth now depends heavily on positive word-of-mouth from urban audiences.
For now, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai remains a mid-performing entertainer that has opened decently but failed to accelerate at the expected pace.
