Honestly, Varun Dhawan hasn't delivered a hit in a while. Hope this David Dhawan film brings his mojo back. The plot sounds like a typical 90s comedy - let's see if it works in 2026.
Love how Mrunal keeps it real! "Ek din pehle hi sahi" - that's such a desi vibe. She's come a long way from Sita Ramam, excited for this one! 💫
Interesting how Bollywood keeps recycling old song titles. 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' from 'Biwi No 1' - creative but feels like lazy writing. Still, David Dhawan's comedy track record is solid. Let's see if magic strikes thrice with Varun.
Manifestation works! But I hope Mrunal gets equal screen time and not just be a supporting role. She deserves more meaty parts after shows like 'Sita Ramam'. Also, Varun calling her 'Mr Wow' - cute! 😄
As someone who's followed Indian cinema internationally, it's refreshing to see Mrunal's organic rise. The 'manifesting 2015' story adds a personal touch. Hope the film does well globally too! 🌟
