Interestingly, this outing marks David Dhawan’s 46th directorial venture, and he reunites with producer Ramesh Taurani and Tips Films to deliver what appears to be a high-energy entertainer packed with humour and drama. The first look opens on a quirky and unexpected note. Told from the perspective of two toddlers, the narrative device instantly adds intrigue and a playful tone, setting the stage for what follows.

The teaser hints at a classic case of romantic chaos, with Varun’s character seemingly caught in a complicated love triangle. Adding to the intrigue, the toddler narration suggests a “double trouble” situation, implying dual identities or overlapping relationships, a trope often associated with David Dhawan’s brand of storytelling.

Adivi Sesh credits Akshay Kumar’s Pad Man for Dacoit’s Hindi-Telugu strategy: "It was a Tamil story and yet it was set in Madhya Pradesh" Mrunal Thakur, Adivi Sesh, Anurag Kashyap and Zayn Marie Khan attended the trailer launch of the Hindi version of their film Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha in Mumbai. The film is not dubbed in Hindi and has been simultaneously filmed in Telugu as well as Hindi. Adivi Sesh explained the reason behind it and he remembered the Akshay Kumar-starrer Pad Man (2018), based on the incredible life of Arunachalam Muruganantham. Adivi Sesh began by saying, “In the US, people wear black dresses to a funeral. Log chashme laga ke silently rote hai. But in India, we wear white and we cry loudly while mourning. So, it’s a cultural thing and there are also cultural nuances. That’s how we tweaked the song ‘Chichubuddi’ to ‘Touch Buddy’ for the Hindi audience. The Hindi song blended the Bhojpuri flavour of Pawan Singh and the urban flavour of Jonita Gandhi. That’s an example of things we did on a very fun, practical way. ”He added, “As for the story, there was a lovely film I saw, Pad Man. I was intrigued by the plot and I researched it. That’s when I learned that it’s a Tamil story. It made me wonder ‘Hum Tamil story Hindi audience ko kyun nahin dikha sakte? Usko Madhya Pradesh mein set karne ki kya zaroorat hai?’. After all, it’s based on true events. ”Adivi Sesh continued, “So, I thought of setting a story on the Badlands of Andhra Pradesh-Karnataka bor... #Anurag_Kashyap #Akshay_Kumar #Mrunal_Thakur #Adivi_Sesh #Zayn_Marie #Marie_Khan #Prem_Katha #Pad_Man #Khan_attended #film_Dacoit

The film, which was earlier scheduled to hit cinemas on June 5, 2026, will now release a week later on June 12, 2026. Directed by veteran filmmaker David Dhawan, the film marks his reunion with producer Ramesh Taurani for a lively romantic entertainer. The decision to push the release date comes shortly after the makers of Toxic, starring Yash, announced that their film would shift its release from March 19 to June 5, 2026. With Toxic now occupying the June 5 slot, the makers of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai decided to avoid a direct box-office clash and instead opted for a solo release the following week. In an official statement addressing the change, producer Ramesh Taurani explained the reasoning behind the decision. “We would like to clarify that our film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai was originally scheduled for release on 5th June, a date we had announced several months ago. However, after recent developments and considering the prevailing situation, we felt it would be more appropriate to shift our release. ”He further emphasized the importance of maintaining a collaborative spirit within the industry. “We strongly believe that it is always healthier for the industry when filmmakers support... #Varun_Dhawan #Mrunal_Thakur #Jawani_Toh #Toh_Ishq #Ishq_Hona #Hai_Jawani #Hona_Hai #Hai #Pooja_Hegde #Thakur_starrer
EXCLUSIVE: Mrunal Thakur’s ‘b***s’ dialogue silenced TWICE by CBFC in Do Deewane Seher Mein The feel-good romantic drama Do Deewane Seher Mein, directed by Ravi Udyawar, released today and has been receiving positive response from the audience and critics alike. The film was released on February 20 and the censor process was completed just 2 days ago, on February 18. In this article, Bollywood Hungama will exclusively focus on the cut list of this flick. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed the film with a U/A 13+ certificate. The cut list mentions that ‘muted and removed obscene word from audio and subtitle’. It has now come to light that the word ‘b***s’ was used twice and has been muted in both instances. On both occasions, it is Mrunal Thakur’s character, Roshni, who utters the word. In the first half, when Shashank (Siddhant Chaturvedi) says, “Tumhare paas woh hai, jo mere paas nahin,” Roshni playfully responds with, “B***s?” Meanwhile, in the second half, during a crucial scene where Roshni criticises prevailing beauty standards, the same word is mentioned again. Additionally, at the beginning of the film, Roshni complains that a man she met wasn’t impressive and uses an abusive word to describe him. Since it’s a mid-shot featuring Roshni and her family members, it is difficult to clearly ascertain which cuss word was used. Once these changes were made, the censor certificate was handed over to the makers. The length of the film, as mentioned on ... #Deewane_Seher #Seher_Mein #Ravi_Udyawar #Deewane #Seher #Mein #critics_alike #Mrunal_Thakur #dialogue_silenced #feel-good_romantic
