Trade predicts Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai can open at Rs. 7-8 cr; experts open up on David Dhawan's possible retirement: "What a career he has had…"

<p>As Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is all set to release this Friday, June 5, Bollywood Hungama spoke to trade experts to understand the buzz for the film.</p><p></p><p>Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “David Dhawan is returning after quite a gap, that too, with his son again. I want to watch this film for him. I just hope that he doesn’t churn out something that has been repeated and over-repeated. This is because the audience today has seen all his films. He is a director with a great filmography who has made the most-watched films. At the same time, he’s not going to direct films after Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. What a career he has had! That calls for celebration and I hope it matches upto those expectations.”</p><p>Trade analyst Atul Mohan added, “The buzz is there and it looks like a light, entertaining film. There hasn’t been a solo Varun Dhawan film in a long time. Also, its music has become popular. Moreover, David Dhawan is associated with the film. So, we hope it’ll be a fun comic caper.”</p><p>Girish Johar, producer and film business analyst, remarked, “It’s a mass entertainer. With the good run of Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, it is clear that if a film is well-made, the family audience will come to the theatres. Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai also seems like a complete family entertainer. It remains to be seen if it engages the Gen Z and the young generation with its jokes, songs etc.”</p><p>Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal opined, “For many weeks, there hasn’t been any film for the youngsters. Hence, it has a chance of opening well. It all depends on the content now.”</p><p>When asked about the opening day number, everyone was unanimous that the film would open well but may not achieve a double-digit opening.</p><p>Raj Bansal said, “I predict it will open in the range of Rs. 7-8 crores. I am not aware how popular the film’s music has been. If it has caught on, the film can open higher by Rs. 1-2 crore. But in case the music hasn’t worked as intended, then it’ll open at Rs. 7-8 crores.”</p><p>He added, “A double-digit opening looks difficult. But if the reports are positive, it may see a huge jump on Saturday and Sunday.”</p><p>Atul Mohan predicted, “Rs. 7-8 crore should easily happen.”</p><p>Girish Johar explained, “I don’t think a Rs. 10 crore plus opening is a possibility. It should be under the double-digit mark. I hope it has a good weekend at the box office.”</p><p>Taran Adarsh exulted, “Varun must have a double-digit opening as it's very important. I don’t know how they are going to achieve it. I hope the word of mouth is good and the walk-ins on day 1 are equally euphoric.”</p><p>He signed off by saying, “It’s his father’s film. It’s being produced by one of the best production houses; Ramesh Taurani ji is a fantastic producer. He has never compromised on quality and has given a free hand to his directors to make a good quality product. In this film, the entire responsibility lies on the Dhawans to deliver!”</p><p>Also Read: BREAKING: Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai makers roll out 50% ticket discount offer for opening day</p> https://ift.tt/C7LRmIA Latest Bollywood News | Hindi Movie News | Hindi Cinema News | Indian Movies | Films - Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/NfzhKwC
