Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde's latest romantic comedy 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' has opened to mixed reviews but solid box office collections. Directed by David Dhawan, the film has become the most preferred choice for audiences despite clashing with multiple releases. The nostalgia of 'Biwi No. 1' also contributed to its box office performance.
