Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai review: Varun Dhawan & Co. deliver laughs in this flawed, and at times, fun entertainer

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Cast: Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, Pooja Hegde, Maniesh Paul, Chunky Panday, Jimmy Shergill, Mouni Roy Director: David Dhawan Rating: ★★.5 (2.5 stars) This Friday’s box office is united by an unlikely theme: consent. In one film (Peddi), a stranger plants a kiss on a woman forcefully. In another (Bandar), a man finds himself facing rape allegations. In a third, a wife refuses intimacy without a condom (Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai). Different genres, different stakes, but all three films, directly or indirectly, deal with the same idea: what happens when one person’s desire collides with another person’s boundary? Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai review: The film is directed by David Dhawan. Not that Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is interested in dwelling on questions quite so serious. This is, after all, a Varun Dhawan–David Dhawan comedy. Their sole mission is to make you chuckle. Do they succeed? Let’s find out. The plot The story revolves around Jass (Varun Dhawan), whose wife, Bani (Mrunal Thakur), forces him …

Archana Puran Singh’s son Ayushmaan loses Rs 87,000 in credit card scam, family laughs it off | Bollywood News

Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi’s son Aayushmaan Sethi was recently duped of Rs 87,000 in an alleged credit card scam. The incident was revealed by the actor-couple’s elder son, Aaryamann Sethi, in his YouTube vlog on Aary Vlogs. While the situation initially caused panic, the family eventually laughed it off, joking that Aayushmaan is now a “regular customer” of fraudsters, given that he had previously lost Rs 80,000 in a similar incident. A segment from Aaryamann’s latest vlog shows a visibly panicked Aayushmaan announcing, “My credit card got swiped for Rs 87,000.” Archana, seated beside him, immediately responded, “Just cancel it. Call up the credit card company.” Explaining what happened, Aayushmaan said, “They took the money for the entire year under the pretext of a seven-day free trial.” A shocked Archana repeated, “Rs 87,000?” before once again suggesting, “Cancel the credit card.” As Aaryamann burst into laughter, Parmeet corrected her, saying, “Don’t cancel the card—cancel the payment.” Still flustered, Aayushmaan asked, “Where do I look for that option?”—a remark that left the entire family, …

Bhooth Bangla review: Akshay Kumar, Priyadarshan are back; the laughs are not

Bhooth Bangla review: Akshay Kumar, Priyadarshan are back; the laughs are not

After Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan are back with another haunted palace and another ghost. But when the first movie`s lurking, unseen, mysterious entity is replaced by a poorly rendered CGI ghost, is there any comparison? The film introduces us to Arjun Acharya (Akshay Kumar), who lives in London. His younger sister Meera (Mithila Palkar) is about to get married, but cannot find an appropriate destination wedding location in India. Things fall in place miraculously when a lawyer shows up at their door, informing them that their grandfather is dead and has bequeathed all his wealth, which includes a haveli, to them. Grateful and befuddled (since he was unaware of the existence of his grandfather), Arjun heads to Mangalpur to survey the property and prepare it for the wedding. There, he encounters Shantaram (Asrani), the caretaker, who warns him that the haveli is a bhooth bangla. No marriage can take place within the city of Mangalpur, as in it resides a bat-like rakshas called Vadhusur, who abducts newly-wed brides. He launches into the lore …

Bhooth Bangla review: Akshay Kumar keeps the laughs coming in Priyadarshan horror-comedy that feels a tad too familiar

Bhooth Bangla review: Akshay Kumar keeps the laughs coming in Priyadarshan horror-comedy that feels a tad too familiar

Bhooth Bangla Director: Priyadarshan Cast: Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Jisshu Sengupta, Mithila Palkar Rating: ★★★.5 I’ll admit it upfront, I’m a sucker for the comic gems that Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan have given us over the years. Just a night before Bhooth Bangla’s release, I happened to rewatch their cult Bhagam Bhaag (2006), a reminder of how effortlessly they once nailed comedy. So naturally, seeing them reunite for another horror comedy after Bhool Bhulaiyaa had me excited. What we get, though, is a reunion that feels a little… bittersweet. Bhooth Bangla review: Akshay Kumar returns to his vintage comedy style with Priyadarshan’s film. The story of Bhooth Bangla revolves around London-based Arjun (Akshay) and his sister (Mithila). She suddenly inherits a fortune and a palace, courtesy of their grandfather. Arjun travels to Mangalpur, India, to set up the palace for his sister’s upcoming wedding. But the lore goes that nobody in the village gets married, as Vadhusur comes and steals the brides. What happens next forms the rest of the …

Big Mistakes Review: Dan Levy’s Chaotic Crime Comedy Lands Laughs but Loses Logic

Cast: Dan Levy, Taylor Ortega, Laurie Metcalf, Jack Innanen, Boran Kuzum, Abby Quinn, Elizabeth Perkins Creators: Dan Levy and Rachel Sennott Rating: 2.5 stars There’s a certain expectation that follows creators who strike gold early. After the global success of Schitt’s Creek, Dan Levy returns with Big Mistakes, a chaotic crime-comedy co-created with Rachel Sennott. Positioned as a star-driven follow-up in the streaming era, the show attempts to blend dysfunctional family comedy with a spiralling crime plot—but rarely finds the balance it’s chasing. Laurie Metcalf and Dan Levy in a still from Big Mistakes Set in suburban New Jersey, the series follows Nicky, a tightly wound pastor hiding a relationship that could upend both his personal and professional life. He’s pulled back into family chaos when his domineering mother Linda—midway through a mayoral campaign—insists he and his sister Morgan procure a meaningful gift for their ailing grandmother. What begins as a simple errand quickly derails when Morgan impulsively steals a necklace from a shop, only for the siblings to discover it belongs to a dangerous …

‘I expected people to mock me’: Liam Rosenior laughs off ridicule as Chelsea surge under new head coach | Football News

2 min readFeb 10, 2026 05:08 PM IST When Liam Rosenior walked into Chelsea’s training ground as head coach, he knew the jokes were coming. “My background is different from managers at other top clubs,” he admitted. “I expected people to mock me.” The ridicule arrived quickly. Social media lit up with memes comparing him to Will McKenzie, the awkward teenager from The Inbetweeners. Rosenior doesn’t shy away from it. “I’ve seen the memes. I can laugh at them. But I also know what I bring to this job.” What he has brought, so far, is results. Seven wins in his first nine matches have steadied Chelsea and given fans reason to believe in the team again. Next up is Leeds United at Stamford Bridge, a fixture Rosenior calls “a really difficult game.” Chelsea’s decision to hire him was bold. He had impressed at Strasbourg, part of the same ownership group, but few expected him to leap straight into one of England’s biggest jobs. Rosenior sees it differently. “I’m proud of where I come from. …
