âœI Paid David Ji Big Money…almost Rs. 70 Croreâ – Vashu Bhagnani Calls Out David Dhawan

May 23, 2026 · 5:23 PM Blog By onmynews.com

Veteran producer Vashu Bhagnani publicly lashed out at director David Dhawan and his actor-son Varun Dhawan, over the reuse of the track Chunari Chunari in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, starring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde. The veteran producer also took sharp digs at filmmaker David Dhawan and his son Varun, accusing them of failing to take accountability for the heavy financial losses suffered after the disastrous performance of Coolie No. 1.

Vashu Bhagnani said that he is 'hurt' by the reuse of the song 'Chunari Chunari' in Varun Dhawan's Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona H

Vashu said, “I told David ji that I want to make Biwi No 1. We suffered a loss of around Rs. 27 crores in Coolie No 1 (2020). I was just a namesake producer. It was David ji who 100% handled the production and expenses. I paid David ji big money to make that film; almost Rs. 70 crore, which was not even his worth.”

The producer continued, “It was the time of COVID and David ji told me, ‘Aapka jo bhi nuksaan hua hai, we’ll take care of in future. Let’s start Biwi No 1.’ Accordingly, we worked on Biwi No 1 for six months. One day, Rohit Dhawan told me that the script is not ready. Since its creative work, I decided not to hurry. Aaram se picture banate hai (Let’s make the films at a relaxed pace)… I suffered a loss of Rs. 27 crores in Coolie No 1. Varun never even bothered to check ki uncle ka nuksaan hua hai; kaun poora karega? (how much loss did I bear? And who will pay for it?)”

Chand Mera Dil Box Office Day 1: Ananya Panday and Lakshyaâs Film Has a Modest Start

May 23, 2026 · 5:23 PM Blog By onmynews.com

Released on Friday, May 22, Chand Mera Dil is a romantic drama starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya in lead roles and has already started its box office journey with mixed responses. While many praise the fresh chemistry between the leads, the numbers on day one are more on the quieter side than the blockbuster kind.

Chand Mera Dil starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya

Trade experts feel the real test will come over the weekend. Romantic films usually depend a lot on word-of-mouth, so if audiences connect, the numbers could improve. If not, the slow start may continue.

Our reviewer stated, “All said and done, Chand Mera Dil, is not a perfect film. But then, even Rumi and Pablo Neruda will agree that perfection is not really a virtue relevant to love. Because love is a weird little feeling, that can make people do so many things that don’t always make sense. And yet, watching Chand Mera Dil, feels like an instant hark back to every good, bad and ugly thing you may have done in love. Most of it might not have made sense, but the feeling of having loved, lived and survived to tell the tale is all that matters.”
