Actor Ayushmann Khurrana and debutante Bhumi Pednekar's 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' did not open in UAE theatres at the time of India release.

Bollywood fans in the region were left confused and cinemas here had no clarity about the release.

Now, after 50 days, production banner Yash Raj Films (YRF) has announced that the entertainer will release in the UAE on April 23.

The news was confirmed in a statement from YRF on Friday.

In the endearing film, directed by Sharat Katariya, Bhumi is an overweight girl Sandhya and it is about her relationship with her husband Prem, essayed by Ayushmann.

The movie is reminiscent of the 90s, and received largely positive reviews from critics. Word of mouth publicity helped box office collections too.

Ayushmann and Bhumi, each delivers heartfelt performances in the movie.

Ayushmann has been praised for his role as a die-hard Kumar Sanu fan, not a very likeable character, who nicely transitions when he realises he's wrong.

Bhumi Pednekar beautifully plays the character of Sandhya, an overweight girl burdened not just by her size, but by the lingering awareness that love could, heartbreakingly, be out of her reach.

Emirates 24|7 has reached out to YRF for more information on the delayed release.
