Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania is an ode to a love story that is as quintessential in Bollywood as Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Helmed by Shashank Khaitan, it revolves around two characters—Humpty Sharma, played by Varun Dhawan, and Kavya Pratap Singh, played by Alia Bhatt. The film traces their journey from a fun, light-hearted romance to a deeper love story that surpasses family and society for acceptance.
Varun Dhawan as Humpty is charming and makes the audience relate to him. He shares great chemistry with Alia Bhatt in songs like Saturday Saturday. His comic and emotional scenes are so well-timed that he can switch between the two with great ease. One of the best scenes in the movie is one where Humpty confesses his love for Kavya to her father (played by Ashutosh Rana). The scene has a mix of humor, tension, and emotion; well, that's what makes it memorable.
2. Badrinath Ki Dulhania

Badrinath Ki Dulhania is a romantic comedy directed by Shashank Khaitan. It brings together the winning pair of Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt once again after their successful collaboration in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. It narrates the story of Badrinath Bansal, a young man from Jhansi, and his love for Vaidehi Trivedi, an independent woman with her own ambitions.
Varun Dhawan as the comical Badrinath, and his transformation from a naive, stubborn young man learning to respect his partner's dreams in order to support her through thick and thin, is very genuine. The chemistry of Varun and Alia was unstoppable and made their love story a delight to watch. Even the song Tamma Tamma Again is such a high-spirited number in which Varun’s moves go perfectly with the energy of Alia.
The film's outstanding scene is when Badrinath stands up against his family for his love interest, Vaidehi, and her choice of choosing her career over marriage. The scene did not just bring out the acting skills of Varun but also touched upon two critical concerns as far as society is concerned, thus making it more than 'just another romantic comedy'.
4. Dilwale

It is a film dealing with romance, action, and elements of comedy, based on a story perfecting blending the past and present of two estranged lovers and their blood siblings.
Varun Dhawan plays Veer, Raj's younger brother, and brings a youthful vibrance to the flick. It actually balances out the intense love tale of Raj and Meera. The fresh pairing of Varun with Kriti Sanon shows its energy through songs such as 'Manma Emotion Jaage'. Varun's confrontation scene with his brother through all the evidence of love he sacrificed for it is the best.
5. Student of the Year

The story revolves around three students—Rohan, Shanaya, and Abhimanyu—who fight it out in love, rivalry, and the urge to win the Student of the Year trophy.

Varun managed to successfully bring out the cheerful side of the love triangle that played a central theme in the plot. Definitely, one of the high spots is in the very climax, when Varun's character engages in the final Students of the Year competition with Sidharth's Abhimanyu.
