Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai OTT Release: When and where to watch?

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has quickly become one of the most anticipated Bollywood films of June 2026. Featuring Varun Dhawan alongside Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde, the romantic comedy is all set to hit theatres on June 5, 2026.

Even before its theatrical release, the film’s digital streaming details have already created buzz online. The project also marks another collaboration between Varun Dhawan and his father, filmmaker David Dhawan. The duo has previously worked together on successful entertainers like Judwaa 2, Main Tera Hero, and Coolie No. 1.

Release Date Shift Changed Box Office Plans

Initially, the romantic comedy was scheduled to arrive in cinemas on May 22, 2026. At that time, it was expected to compete at the box office with Chand Mera Dil starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya.
