For over three decades, David Dhawan has ruled the space of full-blown commercial comedy entertainers like no one else. From comic confusion and double roles to family chaos, madness and unforgettable one-liners — the filmmaker has created a signature comedy universe that continues to entertain generations of audiences.
Celebrating four decades of blockbuster entertainment, a special week-long retrospective of David Dhawan’s biggest comedies is currently bringing cult favourites like Aankhen, Raja Babu, Partner, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya and Main Tera Hero back to theatres across 25 cities — proving that his brand of comedy still enjoys massive love from audiences even today.
And just like his films, David Dhawan’s movie titles too have always carried massive recall value. Simple, catchy and instantly memorable — from Coolie No.1, Hero No.1 and Jodi No.1 to Judwaa, Partner, Main Tera Hero and now Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai — his titles have perfectly matched the fun, massy energy of his entertainers.
Now, with Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, David Dhawan adds one more madcap family entertainer to his iconic comedy universe. Packed with romance, confusion, humour and trademark David Dhawan-style madness, the film promises a full-on entertainer for the big screen.
A Tips Industries Films production directed by David Dhawan, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai releases in cinemas on June 5th.
