Toxic’s new release date sets up a clash with Varun Dhawan’s Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai

The day started today on a major update about Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups not clashing with Aditya Dhar’s keenly awaited Dhurandhar: The Revenge on March 19. The Yash-starrer is now officially scheduled to hit theatres on June 4, setting up a potentially interesting situation at the ticket windows.With the new date confirmed, attention has quickly shifted to another big Bollywood release arriving at almost the same time — Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, starring Varun Dhawan. The film is scheduled to release on June 5, just a day after Toxic arrives in cinemas. While the two films are not releasing on the exact same day, they will share the same opening weekend. This has sparked conversations within trade circles about whether audiences will witness a box office clash between Yash and Varun Dhawan.Toxic is expected to be a large-scale action drama with a Pan-India appeal, while Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is reportedly a youthful romantic film aimed at family audiences. But it still needs to be seen if the makers of the Varun starrer opt for a different release date.As of now, there has been no official announcement about postponing Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. For now, it looks like audiences may witness a closely timed Yash versus Varun face-off at the summer box office.Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic also stars Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria among others. Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, on the other hand, stars Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde opposite Varun.Also Read: BREAKING: Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups POSTPONED to June 4 due to rising tension in the Middle East; Dhurandhar: The Revenge to arrive SOLO on March 19

PIL targets The Kerala Story 2, seeks removal of ‘Kerala’ from title amid communal concerns

A new Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed before the Kerala High Court challenging the title and release of the recently released film The Kerala Story 2. The petition, submitted on March 3 by a retired social science teacher and a practicing lawyer, calls for the removal of the word “Kerala” from the film’s title, arguing that it unfairly associates the State with sensitive and controversial themes.According to the plea, the petitioners contend that the film’s title and subject matter risk portraying Kerala in a negative light. They have alleged that the narrative reportedly depicts the State as a centre for forced religious conversions, a portrayal they believe could damage its social and cultural image.The petition also references an ongoing legal tussle involving the filmmakers. It notes that the producers have approached a Division Bench of the High Court challenging a recent interim order issued by a Single Bench, which had temporarily stayed the film’s release. The stay, the plea points out, was granted at a stage when the film was allegedly yet to be uploaded or publicly screened.Beyond concerns over the State’s image, the petitioners have flagged the potential social repercussions of the film’s content. They argue that the narrative, as understood from available material, may foster hostility against members of the Muslim community in Kerala. The plea suggests that such a portrayal could disturb communal harmony and deepen existing sensitivities.In addition to seeking changes to the title, the petitioners have requested judicial intervention to ensure that the film, if released, carries a clear disclaimer stating that the story is entirely fictional. They have urged the court to direct the Central Government and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to mandate such a disclaimer to prevent audiences from interpreting the narrative as factual.The PIL further calls for broader regulatory reforms. Specifically, it seeks directions to the Centre and the CBFC to frame comprehensive guidelines governing film titles and taglines. According to the plea, such norms should ensure that no cinematic work denigrates or maligns any State, region, caste, or religion through its branding or promotional material.The matter is expected to come up for consideration before the High Court in the coming days, adding another chapter to the ongoing debate around creative freedom, censorship, and the responsibility of filmmakers in handling sensitive socio-political themes.Also Read: Madras High Court restrains illegal broadcast of The Kerala Story 2 until March 23
