Food delivery executives in Mumbai got a serious break from their typical routes. Swiggy just rolled out the red carpet for over 150 of its frontline workers with a private screening of the new Bollywood comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.
The event was not just a free ticket hand-out. Lead actors Varun Dhawan and Pooja Hegde actually showed up at the Fun Republic Mall location alongside Swiggy Food Marketplace CEO Rohit Kapoor.
The entire night was structured as an appreciation event for frontline delivery executives. These partners drive through Mumbai traffic daily, and the corporate team designed the gathering to thank them directly for keeping the company’s delivery ecosystem running. Dhawan and Hegde spent the evening interacting with the crowd and talking to the drivers.
Meanwhile, the film itself is working to hold its ground in theaters. Directed by David Dhawan and also starring Mrunal Thakur, the comedy pulled in approximately ₹7.50 crore on its opening Friday and managed a steady ₹7.20 crore on Saturday. Industry watchers are eyeing the ongoing promotional pushes, especially the “Blockbuster Tuesday” ticket pricing, as the main hook needed to maintain box office momentum against upcoming theatrical competition.
