Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Compared To Govinda’s Sandwich
After the teaser release of Varun Dhawan’s upcoming rom-com Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, social media users started comparing it to Govinda’s 2006 comedy Sandwich because of its love-triangle setup.
However, the makers clarified that the film is an original story and has no resemblance to any previous movie. Directed by David Dhawan, the film stars Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde alongside Varun Dhawan and is scheduled for release on June 5, 2026.

Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 Opens Low
Ayushmann Khurrana’s Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 reportedly opened to a low response at the Indian box office with collections around ₹3.85 crore nett.
