Audience reviews Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai
The combination of David Dhawan’s direction and Varun Dhawan’s star power generated considerable hype prior to the film’s release. Now, audiences have shared their opinions as well. Let’s take a look at the audience reviews for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai:
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai review
India TV gave 3 stars to Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. The review reads, ‘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.’
