I appreciate them addressing the rumors directly. In Bollywood, copy accusations are thrown around so casually. That said, I hope they've put genuine effort into the script and not just rely on Varun's star power. Audiences are smarter now.
Honestly, David Dhawan + Varun combo in a rom-com? Yes please! 😍 Let's give them benefit of doubt. Originality claims aside, I just want a fun, clean movie I can watch with family this summer. June 5 booking ready!
Makers should just release a teaser or trailer to show the originality. This defensive statement makes it look like they're trying to counter bad buzz. Bollywood needs fresh content, not recycled ideas. I'll wait for reviews before deciding.
I remember the 90s when David Dhawan used to make blockbusters. After a few flops, he's back with his son. Hope this clicks! Original story or not, as long as it entertains without vulgarity, I'm in. Family audiences need such films.
Varun Dhawan's movies have been hit or miss lately. This could be his comeback. But the constant "original story" claims feel like damage control. Show us the content, not just statements! 🎬
