As Bollywood veteran David Dhawan gears up to retire with his final directorial, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, is creating quite a stir. Headlined by his son Varun Dhawan alongside Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur, this romantic caper lands in cinemas on June 5, 2026. With advance buzz soaring, the million-dollar question remains: can it outdo Varun’s own biggest opening?

Day 1 Box Office Forecast

Early ticket sales point to a strong show. With major releases wrapping up before June and no heavyweight competition on opening day, the stage is set. Distributors are predicting a debut in the ₹7–9 crore net bracket. If the booking momentum sustains, a ₹10+ crore first day isn’t off the table.

Market Dynamics and Audience Pull

David Dhawan’s signature mix of slapstick humour and romantic beats has traditionally drawn the crowds. The trailer’s lively reception and Varun’s never-say-die fanbase add fuel to the fire. Special premieres and promotional events nationwide have amplified the excitement, hinting at a bumper opening weekend if word of mouth remains positive.

Varun’s Top 10 Opening Day Hits

To break into Varun Dhawan’s personal chart of top openers, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai must surpass Jug Jugg Jeeyo (₹9.28 crore). Here’s how his best first-day numbers stack up:

Kalank – ₹21.6 crore
Dilwale – ₹21 crore
Judwaa 2 – ₹16.1 crore
ABCD 2 – ₹14.3 crore
