Supporting them is an ensemble cast featuring Mouni Roy, Maniesh Paul, Manoj Pahwa, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi, and Kubbra Sait, each contributing to the film's comic and emotional narrative.
The film, which premiered in cinemas on June 5, 2026, signifies a significant milestone in Bollywood, as it represents David Dhawan's last directorial project before his retirement from filmmaking. Known for delivering some of Hindi cinema's most beloved comedy entertainers, Dhawan bids farewell with a film that blends romance, humour, family drama, and his trademark mass appeal.
Even before its release, 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' found itself at the centre of industry discussions due to a legal dispute between Pooja Films and the makers of the film. The controversy revolves around the use of the iconic songs 'Chunnari Chunnari' and 'Ishq Sona Hai' from the 1999 blockbuster 'Biwi No. 1', with questions being raised over intellectual property rights and the film's title, which is derived from the popular track.

'Bandar' review: Producer Nikhil Dwivedi calls Anurag Kashyap a 'difficult' director over Bobby Deol starrer's ending
Actor-producer Nikhil Dwivedi candidly admitted that filmmaker Anurag Kashyap can be "difficult" to work with due to his uncompromising passion and unyielding creative beliefs. During an interview with journalist Vickey Lalwani, Dwivedi revealed that while he initially sent the script to Kashyap merely for feedback, the auteur insisted on directing it himself. Their creative alignment faced heavy friction regarding the climax of the Bobby Deol-starrer. Dwivedi favored an entirely different ending, but Kashyap flatly refused to shoot it, declaring his vision as the final word. Additionally, Dwivedi firmly dismissed external rumors, clarifying that the gritty crime thriller is absolutely not an "anti-women" film.

Before hitting theaters on June 5, 2026, David Dhawan’s comedy entertainer 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' underwent multiple modifications mandated by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The board granted the Varun Dhawan-starrer a U/A 16+ certificate after several crucial adjustments were implemented. Key edits included replacing a vulgar hand gesture and modifying unsuitable words. Visually, the board ordered the blurring of a condom brand name and the muting of its flavors. Furthermore, a sequence featuring England cricketers Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes was shortened to six seconds. Additionally, a dance number was reframed to focus away from visible undergarments on female dancers, locking the final runtime at 136 minutes and 40 seconds.

'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' review: Bombay High Court refuses urgent stay on Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, Mrunal Thakur starrer's release
The Bombay High Court has declined to grant an urgent interim stay against the theatrical release of the Varun Dhawan-starrer 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' and the inclusion of two of its songs. According to Bar and Bench, the dispute, brought by Vashu Bhagnani's Puja Entertainment against Tips Industries, involves the alleged unauthorized use of the iconic 'Biwi No.1' tracks "Chunnari Chunnari" and "Ishq Sona Hai". Justice Farhan P. Dubash refused to entertain the urgent plea on June 3, 2026, noting that the plaintiff had already filed a similar suit in a Bihar civil court and was guilty of delayed approach and forum shopping. With massive global distributions already booked, the court deferred the matter to a regular bench, clearing the film's scheduled June 5 release.

'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' review: Does Mouni Roy play Varun Dhawan's 'fake mother' in David Dhawan’s comic caper?
In 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai', Mouni Roy takes on a pivotal and hilariously unconventional supporting role. Branching into the film's signature chaotic "comedy of errors," she portrays a dancer who is brought in to pose as the fake mother of the main protagonist, Jass (played by Varun Dhawan). Her presence triggers massive meta-humor and widespread internet chatter given that Roy is only a year older than her on-screen "son" in real life. Roy's character adds an extra layer of non-stop madness to the narrative, caught directly in the crosshairs of Jass's spiraling lies and an overprotective brother played by Jimmy Sheirgill.

#BobbyDeol delivers a SMASHER in this one, you would'nt have expected him to come into this zone, he enters this GRITTY world, and hits the ball out of the park.
The rest of the cast - #SanyaMalhotra looks damn good, portrays emotions well, #SapnaPabbi is decent to be honest, #SabaAzad is good, #JitendraJoshi is amazing."

#Bandar features #BobbyDeol in an INTENSE avatar, and he has delivered his performance with utmost HONESTY and shines on the big screen with his terrific act, the film opens up on a promising note with some really engaging scenes, but the screenplay ahead makes it up for an average watch!
The starting 30-45 minutes are damn engaging, which also features a crazy confrontation sequence, filled with superb dialogues, you will enjoy the scene, and it will set the expectation right up for you but as the film progresses ahead, it falters in terms of screenplay and the story remains in a bubble, which doesn't feel exciting, maybe a little more tighter edit could have worked in the favour."

When I learnt about his retirement decision, I called him and scolded him. Maine daanta use (I scolded him). I said, 'What do you mean, this is your last film? Who are you to decide, this is your last film? If the audience loves you, don't say, this is my last film.' My father used to tell me that retirement is merely a state of mind. As long as you can stand on your own feet and keep doing what you love, there's no reason to retire. Unfortunately, he later fell ill, but that belief has stayed with me. We are fortunate to be in a profession where there is no fixed age for retirement."
