Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai box office: Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde starrer infidelity-comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has failed to pull in people to theatres. The David Dhawan swan-song made Rs 7.25 crore (net) on its second day, a marginal drop from its opening day collection of Rs 7.5 crore. This brings the film’s two-day net collection to Rs 14.75 crore.

In Mumbai, the Varun Dhawan-starrer had an occupancy of 24 percent with 548 shows, and in Delhi NCR, the film’s occupancy was 16.3 percent across 980 shows.

The film is trailing behind Varun’s last release, Border 2. According to Sacnilk, the film had earned Rs 30 crore on its first day, and on day two, it had collected Rs 36.50 crore.
