Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Box Office Collection Day 6: Director David Dhawan’s retirement venture, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, is going through a tricky weekday stretch. After pulling off a stable opening weekend driven by family audiences, the Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde multi-starrer experienced its sharpest slide yet on Day 6.
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the situational comedy pocketed Rs 2.85 crore net in India on Wednesday. Registering a 26% drop compared to Tuesday’s unexpected bump of Rs 3.85 crore, this standard midweek normalization pushes the film’s total domestic net collection to Rs 34.15 crore. On the global stage, however, the project found its footing, successfully pushing past the Rs 51 crore gross milestone within six days of release.
How is the First Week Collection Shaping Up Across India?
The film started its theatrical run with a kind of balanced opening weekend, consistently bringing in families through traditional single screens and major urban multiplexes. However, the post-weekend box office footfall indicates that the film might be running off its momentum as the second week for the movie comes to an end.
While the romantic comedy benefited immensely from a Sunday high of Rs 9.00 crore, the subsequent single-digit weekday trajectory indicates that the film’s screen count will likely see a reduction come Friday.

Where is Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai performing well?
On Wednesday, the film operated across roughly 7,495 shows nationwide, a noticeable drop from the 9,000+ screenings it held over the weekend. Overall, the theatre occupancy was not too shabby but too grand either with a peak of 11.45% for evening and night shows.
Mumbai and Delhi-NCR led the domestic earnings generating over 45% of daily collections, retaining steady footfalls across major multiplex chains like PVR-Inox. However, mass-dominated single screens in B and C-centres observed a downward slope, indicating that the film’s 90s comedic tone is mostly finding the audience in urban cities who want to experience the nostalgia.
On the other hand, the collections in South India have not been that impressive, the reason could be the viewers not relating to the movie or maybe the dominance of regional releases, but the movie did not quite meet the expectations out there.
What is the Total Worldwide Gross for the Varun Dhawan Starrer?
While domestic theatre tracking continues to slide into a lower tier, international diaspora centres have chipped in with decent contributions to cushion the film’s global run. On Day 6, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai collected an estimated Rs 0.75 crore gross from overseas territories, moving its total international gross to Rs 11.25 crore.
When stacked alongside India’s total gross collection of Rs 40.60 crore, the film’s cumulative worldwide box office total officially stands at Rs 51.85 crore gross.
The film currently shares screens with multi-lingual mass blockbusters like Ram Charan’s Peddi and Bobby Deol’s crime drama Bandar, which has limited its ability to hit double-digit daily numbers. With a fresh wave of regional and Hindi releases scheduled for this coming Friday, the long-term commercial trajectory of David Dhawan’s directorial finale depends heavily on its upcoming second-weekend holdout.
