Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, starring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde, is scheduled to release in theaters on June 5. It marks the return of the legendary comedy director, David Dhawan, and the film appears to be his typical \u2018no-brainer\u2019 entertainer. Recently, the much-awaited trailer of the film was unveiled, and it has grabbed\u00a0attention, garnering\u00a01.15 crore<\/strong> views and 72K<\/strong> likes\u00a0<\/span>inside 2 days on YouTube. But has the trailer impacted the day 1 potential positively from a box office perspective? Let\u2019s discuss it below.<\/p>\n

Super successful track record of father-son duo<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The upcoming comedy entertainer marks the reunion of David Dhawan and Varun Dhawan after 5 years. They last worked together on Coolie No. 1 (2020), which was directly released on OTT. Speaking a couple of theatrical release, the duo last collaborated for Judwaa 2 (2017), which was a giant success on the Indian box office. Before Judwaa 2, even their debut collaboration, Predominant Tera Hero (2014), was successful. Considering the father-son duo\u2019s track record, the film is already giving off a vibe of a winner.<\/p>\n

The trailer ensures a fun time in theaters<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Yesterday (May 23), the trailer of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai was dropped online. Besides the leading trio of Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde, the supporting solid, comprising Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi, Mouni Roy, and Maniesh Paul, looks strong. The concept isn\u2019t fresh, but it surely\u2019s still engaging and entertaining due to David Dhawan\u2019s trademark humor.<\/p>\n

As per the trailer, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai appears to be a comedy of errors, offering fun riot to the audience. Even the music appears to be going well, with Chunari Chunari and Hai Jawan Toh Ishq Hona Hai giving a nostalgia trip. On the entire, the trailer does a very good job of generating buzz and boosting the film\u2019s opening-day potential.<\/p>\n

More likely to rank amongst 2026\u2019s top 5 openers of Bollywood<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Going by the trailer, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is predicted to enjoy decent footfalls among the many family audience on day 1. It’s releasing on June 5, with no major clash. Yes, Ram Charan\u2019s Peddi is releasing on June 4, but it surely is unlikely to affect Varun Dhawan\u2019s film. Backed by good face value and an entertaining trailer, the comedy entertainer targets a start of 7-9 crore<\/strong> net on the Indian box office.<\/p>\n

With such an expected start, the film is prone to join 2026\u2019s top 5 openers of Bollywood by surpassing Ikkis (7.28 crore<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Take a take a look at the highest 5 Bollywood openers of 2026 (net):<\/strong><\/p>\n
