Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Review
The Free Press Journal reviewer gave 2 stars to Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and wrote, "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has all the ingredients of a typical David Dhawan entertainer, but very little of the magic. The story is predictable, many jokes feel rehearsed, and several punchlines fail to land. While a few comic scenes in the second half manage to bring genuine laughs, they aren't enough to save the film."
