There's NO opposing that!!! Here's to your summer blockbuster with your son..... DAVID DHAWAN... NO 1 man always." (sic)

Scotland backdrop is gorgeous! But why is David Dhawan retiring? He's the king of comedy films in India. Emotional to hear Karan Johar's note—he's right, Davidji created a whole genre. Hoping this movie gives us one last laugh riot. All the best to the team! 🙌
Being a doctor in a David Dhawan film—Chunky's character must be hilarious. But I hope this isn't just another formulaic comedy. The trailer looked a bit predictable. Still, Varun and Mrunal have good chemistry. Let's see if it delivers on the nostalgia!
Karan Johar getting emotional over David Dhawan's 'last film'—that's pure respect from one legend to another. Davidji's films are my childhood: 'Mujhse Dosti Karoge', 'Biwi No.1'... pure gold! But I hope it's not really his last. Maybe he'll change his mind? 🤞
Love the nostalgia—Chunky and David Dhawan together again! But as a fan, I hope the film focuses more on story than just slapstick. The cast is solid (Varun, Mrunal, Pooja), so expectations are high. Let's hope it's a fitting farewell for Davidji! 🎬
Chunky's Instagram game is on point! But Karan Johar's note made me a bit teary. David Dhawan's films are like comfort food for Indian cinema—gu
