PVR has announced a special film festival dedicated to veteran filmmaker David Dhawan, bringing several of his popular entertainers back to the massive screen. The festival will run from May 8 to May 26, offering audiences a chance to revisit a few of the director’s most loved business comedies in theatres.
David Dhawan’s hit comedies to re-release from May 8 to May 22; deets inside!
The announcement comes on the identical day that the discharge date of David Dhawan’s upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, starring Varun Dhawan, was officially shifted. The film was earlier scheduled to reach on May 22, 2026, but will now release on June 5, 2026. While the makers haven’t shared a reason for the postponement, the date change follows the reshuffling of release plans for Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, which had earlier occupied the June release window before being delayed again.
As a part of the David Dhawan festival, PVR will re-release five movies related to the director’s successful profession across a long time. The chosen titles include Foremost Tera Hero, Partner, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Raja Babu and Aankhen.
David Dhawan is thought to be considered one of Hindi cinema’s most successful mainstream comedy directors, known for delivering crowd-pleasing entertainers through the Nineties and 2000s. His movies often blended humour, family drama, music and star power, making them regular television favourites even years after release.
The road-up also highlights his collaborations with major stars across generations, including Salman Khan, Govinda and Varun Dhawan.
For younger viewers, the festival presents a probability to experience these movies in a theatrical setting for the primary time. For longtime fans, it offers a nostalgic return to a kind of comedy that defined an era of Hindi cinema.
Meanwhile, attention stays on Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, which marks one other collaboration between David Dhawan and Varun Dhawan. With its recent June 5 release date now locked, the father-son duo will hope to proceed their successful box office partnership.
