Yes, two beautiful lead heroines become pregnant with the hero. Thats the plot point of the film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai released today
.
The film is headlined by Varun Dhawan alongside Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur in the direction of David Dhawan.
What could have been an outrageous comedy becomes a predictable parade of misunderstandings, emotional speeches and conveniently timed revelations.
The biggest complaint from audiences has been the lack of freshness. “We’ve seen this sort of hera pheri kind of fun decades ago,” remarked one moviegoer after the first show.
Someone mentioned, to be fair, the cast tries hard. The glamorous leads bring charm to their roles, and a few comic sequences attempt to generate laughs. But the screenplay keeps relying on clichés that feel older than some of the people watching the film.
The result is an entertainer that wants to be wild and daring Gen Z narrative, but ends up feeling strangely familiar.
There is little fun, sufficient glamour, and enough chaos to keep the story moving on the screen. Yet when the central twist finally lands, it feels less like a blockbuster bombshell and more like a recycled television serial track stretched across two and a half hours.
For a film promising youthful madness and romance, the biggest issue may be that its most talked-about twist feels decades old.
The early audience response, however, appears divided. While some viewers have described the film as a “full-on paisa vasool entertainer” packed with romance, confusion, glamour and nonstop madness, others feel the comedy relies too heavily on formulas that have worked for the Dhawan camp in the past.
Social media reactions range from “crazy entertainer” to comments suggesting that the film succeeds only when it embraces its unapologetically silly nature.
The first half spends considerable time setting up the characters and their tangled relationships, while the second half dives headfirst into escalating confusion and over-the-top situations.
Fans of classic David Dhawan-style comedies may find enough nostalgia to enjoy, but younger viewers looking for a fresh Gen-Z rom-com could feel that the film is entertainingly chaotic rather than genuinely inventive.
Many viewers singled out Varun Dhawan’s energetic screen presence as one of the film’s biggest strengths.
Audiences praised his comic timing and commitment to a role that demands constant juggling between chaos and confusion.
One social media review described Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai as a “crazy comedy” centered on a man dealing with two simultaneously pregnant partners, noting similarities to the 1984 film Micki & Maude.
But on a whole, looking at different opinions and social media comments, it looks the film disappointed many.
