With a knack for high-energy mayhem and a flair for the theatrical, Dhawan has become one of Hindi cinema's most prolific and successful directors, helming over 45 films that blend riotous physical humor, catchy musical numbers, and larger-than-life characters.

At the heart of his work lies an irrepressible sense of fun, as Dhawan gleefully subverts social norms and gleefully embraces the absurd. With a keen eye for visual gags and a gift for coaxing over-the-top performances from his casts, he has crafted some of Bollywood's most beloved and enduring comedic classics. Whether reimagining a vintage farce like Chashme Baddoor or dreaming up delirious high-concept premises like a man with two identical twins, Dhawan approaches each project with the same boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm.
