The path is officially clear for the biggest comedy riot of the summer. Director David Dhawan’s highly anticipated romantic entertainer, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, has officially passed through the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Much to the delight of the makers, the movie has secured a clean U/A certificate, making it suitable for audiences across all age groups (with parental guidance advised for children under 12).
Crisp Runtime for Maximum Entertainment
According to exclusive trade sources, the censor board locked the film’s final runtime at exactly 136 minutes—translating to a sharp, fast-paced theatrical experience of 2 hours and 16 minutes.
Industry insiders reveal that both director David Dhawan and producer Ramesh Taurani were determined to keep the storytelling tight and vibrant. The 136-minute length is being hailed as the sweet spot for modern mainstream Bollywood cinema, ensuring the romantic drama, classic signature Dhawan comedy, and extensive musical tracks blend seamlessly without dragging.
Back to the Big Screen: Release Countdown Begins
Starring a power-packed trio of Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde, the project has generated massive curiosity thanks to its colorful trailers and trending chartbusters like the dance track “WOW”. Following a brief shuffle in dates due to the IPL cricket season, the film has triumphantly returned to its original target slot.
Distributed under the Tips Films banner, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is locked and loaded to bring classic, high-glamour Bollywood entertainment back to cinemas worldwide on 5 June 2026.
