For a month or so, both the struggling heroines, Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur, are actually promoting their upcoming film a lot. Featuring them as the female leads, the Varun Dhawan starrer Jawaani Hai Tho Ishq Hona Hai has re-took its date of June 5th after Yash’s “Toxic” moved out from that date. Since then, Pooja, who is unable to grab her star status in the south and is missing out on almost all the biggies, and Mrunal, whose image is not matching the success rate of those Telugu flicks, are trying to get a huge hold on Bollywood.

Jawaani Hai Tho Ishq Hona Hai, released in theatres today, features Varun, Pooja, and Mrunal, and is directed by the hero’s father, David Dhawan, who is known for delivering highly successful comedy capers at the box office. What’s the talk in Bollywood circles about the film? In fact, many critics felt that the film’s first half is very weak, while the second half gets some momentum after both heroines are seen together in the movie. At the same time, both Pooja and Mrunal provided maximum glamour. for the movie, as they competed with each other in that department. However, the film hasn’t got unanimous approval from all quarters, and that looks like it is going to be another average farer for the hero and the heroines.

To date, neither Mrunal nor Pooja has been part of a blockbuster film at the Bollywood box office. Only if this film posts at least something more than ₹150 crores at the box office, it’s considered to be a hit film. We have to see if the weekend and the pending summer holidays until Wednesday will bless them with one.
