Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai 2026 Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai 2026 ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 3/5

in India TV

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is not a film that will change cinema or leave you with a deep message. It is a typical old-school commercial masala entertainer that works only on one condition: that you leave your brain at home before entering the theatre. Although the first half is quite weak and the film is overly long, the madness of the second half, Varun Dhawan’s strong performance, and the entertaining confusion save it from sinking. If you simply want to laugh this weekend without any logic and are a fan of David Dhawan’s style of cinema, this film will not disappoint you. 3 out of 5 stars for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.

Housefull 5 2025 Housefull 5

in India TV

Housefull 5 starts with a good idea and makes the audience laugh a lot in the first half but loses its shine as it moves towards the interval. The excitement created in the first half about the murder mystery does not last till the end; the focus is lost, but the effective climax will not let your money go to waste. If you are a fan of Housefull-style, illogical, light comedy, then this film is worth watching once, especially for its brilliant star cast.
