Mrunal & Pooja’s Multi-Starrer Teaser Faces Heavy Trolling

The teaser of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is finally out, and it has sparked a mixed response from audiences. Directed by Dawid Dhawan, the film features Varun Dhawan romancing Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur in what appears to be a classic commercial entertainer.

The teaser opens with an unusual narrative twist, where two kids talk about their respective mothers, only to reveal that they share the same father. This segment, reportedly enhanced using AI, has caught attention but also drawn criticism for looking exaggerated and over the top.

Beyond this hook, the film seems to rely on a familiar, age-old storyline with a presentation that some viewers feel lacks freshness. Social media reactions so far have been divided, with a section calling it outdated while others see it as a potential mass entertainer.

Despite the criticism, films of this genre have often worked well with family audiences and single-screen viewers. For Varun Dhawan, who is in need of a solid box office success, this film could be a crucial turning point. Releasing on May 20, it remains to be seen whether the film connects with the masses and delivers the much-needed hit.
