The best of David Dhawan is set to return to the theatres ahead of the release of the director's final film - Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. PVR Inox is bringing some of the director's most loved and biggest hits back to the theatres for a special showcase.
The screening lineup includes his 90s classics with Govinda, Aankhen and Raja Babu, as well as 2000s hits starring Salman Khan, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya and Partner, and Main Tera Hero, his first film starring son Varun Dhawan.
Niharika Bijli, lead strategist at PVR Inox Ltd, spoke about the initiative, describing it as an honour. “It is an honour for us to host a festival dedicated to Mr David Dhawan's remarkable legacy. Over decades, his films have defined mainstream Hindi entertainment, bringing joy to audiences across generations. This festival is a rare opportunity for newer audiences to rediscover some of his iconic films in the format they were originally created for,” she said
David Dhawan said he was excited to see the classics return to the theatres. In a statement, he added, “I have always believed in making films that entertain people and help them forget the struggles of their daily lives. My idea has always been simple: make people laugh, feel good about life, even if just for those three hours, and walk out of the theatre with a smile. To see PVR Inox curate a festival around my work and bring these films back to the big screen is heartwarming. These films were made with a lot of love, energy, and instinct. I am excited to see audiences return to cinemas to relive the madness, the music, and the joy all over again.”
