Since this matter is sub judice, this will be the only statement we shall be making at this time. We have full faith in the legal system of our country and are confident that justice will prevail."</p><h2>What's the controversy?</h2><p>The controversy began after Bhagnani publicly objected to the use of the recreated versions of Chunnari Chunnari and Ishq Sona Hai in the film. He alleged that the required permissions and No Objection Certificates had not been obtained for the tracks, both originally featured in Biwi No. 1, which he produced.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bhagnani had also claimed that the storyline of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai resembled the Salman Khan-starrer.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Directed by David Dhawan, the comedy entertainer stars Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur.

The team of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has addressed the ongoing controversy about the allegations made by producer Vashu Bhagnani over the recreated versions of Chunnari Chunnari and Ishq Sona Hai from the 1999 film Biwi No. 1.

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has recently been making headlines for its recreated tracks, and now the makers of the film have issued a sharp response to producer Vashu Bhagnani over his allegations linked to the songs Chunnari Chunnari and Ishq Sona Hai from the 1999 film Biwi No. 1. The team, along with producer Ramesh Taurani and Tips Music, issued an official statement and dismissed Bhagnani’s claims, accusing him of attempting to negatively impact the film.

It is amply clear to us that this is a smear campaign driven by personal vendetta, intended to derail the release of our film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai." The production team also referred to their decades-long association with Bhagnani, and added, "Our association with Mr. Bhagnani dates back to 1995, when we generously offered him a 50 percent partnership and a producer credit on a project for which we had laid out all the ground work. Coolie No. 1 went on to become a massive box office hit and gave Mr. Bhagnani a kick-start in the industry."

"However, Mr. Bhagnani remains determined to spread misinformation via various platforms, including social media. Suspiciously, he has also chosen to file a legal complaint in Kathihar court in Bihar over 2000 kms away from Mumbai. He decided to take legal action against all associated with our film rather than engage in direct dialogue." Also Read: Is Varun Dhawan's Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai a remake of Biwi No 1?

Now, on Wednesday, the makers announced that the film’s release has been postponed again. With the shift in release date, Varun Dhawan’s Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai's release date too has undergone a change Toxic release postponed Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the big development on social media, posting a statement issued by the makers of Toxic. The note read, “There are films we make, and then there are films that remind us why we fell in love with cinema. Toxic has been one such journey. Presenting our film at CinemaCon and witnessing the overwhelming global response reaffirmed what we have always believed that this film deserves to reach its fullest potential worldwide.” The makers asserted that the film’s delay in release had nothing to do with its shoot status. “Toxic is complete, and we are currently aligning global distribution and partnerships. In light of this, we have decided to recalibrate our release timeline. While we will not be releasing on June 4 as announced earlier, we will be releasing at a later, globally aligned date. Toxic will come to theatres across the world soon.”

However, the matter escalated after his household staff handled the calls casually. "People were getting underworld calls at that time, and we were getting them too. We had been receiving them for quite some time, but we didn’t realise it because the staff was arguing with whoever was calling," he said. "The staff even gave out our full address and told the person where to meet, saying, 'Come meet me in that garden, I'll beat you there,'" he said.

"When my dad asked who had said this, he took the staff member’s name. So we had to stay somewhere else that day. It is funny, but it is not funny actually."

<p>After Bawaal, Varun and Janhvi's second outing together, along with Sanya and Rohit, who play pivotal roles in the movie.</p><h2>More about Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari story</h2><p>The movie revolves around Sunny (Varun), who is head over heels in love with Ananya (Sanya). They have been dating for years, but when it comes to marriage, she ditches him and says yes to a new boy in her life, Vikram Singh (Rohit Saraf). Heartbroken, Sunny is unable to move on. He, with the help of his best friend Bantu (Abhinav Sharma), gets to know about Vikram's love saga. Like Sunny and Ananya, Vikram has also been in a relationship with a school teacher, Tulsi (Janhvi). They both are in love, but Vikram refuses to marry her because his mother and brother don't like Tulsi. How Sunny persuades Tulsi to gate-crash their ex-wedding to win their old lovers back makes the rest of the plot.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/26-11-attack-state-of-siege-26-11-taj-mahal-the-attacks-of-26-11-watch-these-6-movies-and-tv-shows-based-on-the-mumbai-terror-attack-1764137753374">26/11 Attack: 6 movies and TV shows based on the Mumbai terror attack</a></p><p><br>Apart from the lead cast, the film also stars Maniesh Paul, Akshay Oberoi,&nbsp; Abhinav Sharma, Manini Chadha, Mallika Chhabra as Nisha.

From stories to heroes' buffoonery, songs and all the cringeworthy things that people do in love, Khaitan's films are mostly entertaining. However, this film is not one of them. It has the things that don't make you laugh; the over-dramatisation of the film bores you. Although the palette is very colourful, filled with designer clothes and everything nice, the story and actors fail to grip you on the screen,'' <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/sunny-sanskari-ki-tulsi-kumari-review-varun-and-janhvi-s-film-is-a-forgettable-love-story-1759392783432">read the full review here.&nbsp;</a></p>

Is Varun Dhawan exiting No Entry 2? Boney Kapoor breaks silence on rumours

<p>Sometimes the movie is nothing but an extended version of a trailer. Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is out in the theatres, and before the world watches, the critics have been shown the film. Sometimes we love a movie, other times we hate it, and then there are some films, we are sceptical about. But Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari doesn’t land in any of these aforementioned categories. It’s torturous, overdramatic, and all things nonsense.<br>&nbsp;<br>It makes you think and question again what made them release this in the theatre. The world now has a medium called OTT, which is best for films like this, where you can watch, pause, watch again, pause again, and even end the movie whenever you want. While the option to step out of the theatre is still available, the price you pay to watch this film makes the experience a struggle throughout.</p><h2>What is Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari about?</h2><p>Uff the plot! It was the most juvenile thing that I had watched this year. The movie starts with a dialogue from SS Rajamouli's Baahubali, and people who had watched Badrinath Ki Dulhania get the gist that it's Varun's entry. Okay, so Dhawan plays the role of Sunny Sanskari, who is head over heels in love with Ananya (Sanya Malhotra). They have been dating for over two years now. She's returning from Italy, and Sunny proposes to her in Baahubali style. Why? Because it's Ananya's favourite film. However, his heart breaks when Ananya says no to his proposal and tells him about a new boy in life- Vikram Singh (Rohit Saraf) who is rich and oh-so-smart and obviously Ananya's choice. Sunny is now the heartbroken lover who is unable to move on. He, with the help of his best friend Bantu (Abhinav Sharma), gets to know about Vikram's love saga.<br>&nbsp;<br>Much like Sunny and Ananya, Vikram has also been in a relationship with a school teacher, Tulsi (Janhvi). They both are in love, but Vikram refuses to marry her because his mother and brother don't like Tulsi. When these two heartbroken lovers meet, and Sunny persuades Tulsi to gate-crash their ex's wedding to gain their old lovers back.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p>

Still from Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

<h2>What breaks your heart the most?</h2><p>I have always loved watching director Shashank Khaitan's films, be it Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania or Badrinath Ki Dulhania. From stories to heroes' buffoonery, songs and all the cringeworthy things that people do in love, Khaitan's films are mostly entertaining. However, this film is not one of them. It has the things that don't make you laugh; the over-dramatisation of the film bores you. Although the palette is very colourful, filled with designer clothes and everything nice, the story and actors fail to grip you on the screen.</p><p><br>It's a Bollywood lovey-dovey drama backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The renowned director said in the recently released Aryan Khan's Ba***ds of Bollywood, that nobody makes love stories better than him. &nbsp;Yes, I agree too, howevere, Johar the producer has not backed a great love story this time around.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The story of the movie didn't even look striking on paper, but it may have been discussed how they would fill all the holes with the dazzling presentation. But that didn't work. Varun has accurately tried to bring his unbeatable charm with his comic timing, and energy. But what can he do when his dialogues are not enough to make you laugh? In this movie, &nbsp;even Janhvi is not at her best. Varun and Janhvi were the focus, so they got the best of all, and they did their best. But do only dance moves and a few lines make the movie watchable?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>One scene in the film was so cringe that I wish it was not there at all. The scene post Holi party, where the lead cast Varun, Janhvi, Sanya and Rohit, are struggling to crawl as they are all drunk was so badly enacted. The scene has no feel; everything felt fabricated.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rohit Saraf and Sanya Malhotra, great actors otherwise, get hardly any scope to perform in this film.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Maniesh Paul, as the wedding planner, was the most cartoonish character. But at least, he made me laugh through his dramatic performance. The lack in the script is covered well with some cheeky dialogues and well-dramatised monologues. Although Khaitan's rom-com fails to make a connection with the audience, you don't feel for the characters, the stories, and you don't even have any reaction to the climax, which has a cameo of Saraf's most popular co-star.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is an OTT film that you can pause, fast-forward, and re-watch anytime. But it's running in theatres across the country.&nbsp;</p>

Directed by Shashank Khaitan, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is a movie loaded with star power, but it stumbles with a weak and juvenile script. The OTT-friendly movie is now available to watch in theatres.

Sunny is now the heartbroken lover who is unable to move on. He, with the help of his best friend Bantu (Abhinav Sharma), gets to know about Vikram's love saga. Much like Sunny and Ananya, Vikram has also been in a relationship with a school teacher, Tulsi (Janhvi). They both are in love, but Vikram refuses to marry her because his mother and brother don't like Tulsi. When these two heartbroken lovers meet, and Sunny persuades Tulsi to gate-crash their ex's wedding to gain their old lovers back.

<p>Directed by Shashank Khaitan, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is a movie loaded with star power, but it stumbles with a weak and juvenile script. The OTT-friendly movie is now available to watch in theatres.&nbsp;</p>
