Bollywood’s favourite energy bomb, Varun Dhawan, turns a year older today, and fans have the perfect reason to relive his most memorable on-screen avatars. From college cutie to jungle werewolf, Tata Play Binge is celebrating the actor’s journey with a special curated watchlist featuring some of his most iconic films across genres and OTT platforms.
According to a press note issued by Tata Play Binge, the platform has handpicked five of Varun’s most loved performances for an all-day celebration of his charm, versatility, and undeniable screen presence. With over 30 OTT platforms under one roof, Tata Play Binge makes it easier than ever to hop between romantic comedies, high-energy dance-offs, and even supernatural adventures — all with Varun in the lead.
Kicking off the watchlist is ‘Student of the Year’ on Amazon Prime Video — the film that marked Varun Dhawan’s debut and instantly earned him the ‘heartthrob’ tag. His portrayal of Rohan Nanda, the stylish and cocky campus stud with a soft core, laid the foundation for a career that has only grown in range and recognition. Set in a glittering, larger-than-life college campus, the movie also introduced audiences to Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra, and remains a fan-favourite for its music and teenage drama.
Adding a wild twist to the list is ‘Bhediya’ on JioHotstar — a horror-comedy where Varun shapeshifts into a werewolf, delivering a performance that’s equal parts hilarious, intense, and surprisingly heartfelt. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film features standout visual effects and co-stars Kriti Sanon in a storyline that blends mythology with modern storytelling, making it one of Varun’s most experimental roles yet.
Dance lovers can catch ‘Street Dancer 3D’ on ZEE5 and ‘ABCD 2’ on SonyLIV, where Varun plays passionate dancers caught in high-stakes competitions. Whether it’s representing India on a global stage or leading an underground dance crew with something to prove, Varun’s impeccable moves and screen energy make both films unmissable for fans of the genre.
And for those in the mood for a classic rom-com, ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ on Apple TV+ is a delightful ride. Varun’s turn as the lovable Humpty, who falls for Alia Bhatt’s fiery Kavya, is packed with charm, wit, and desi drama. A spiritual cousin of ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, the film blends tradition and rebellion in a way that has earned it cult status among fans of modern Bollywood romance.
So whether you’re a fan of Varun’s dance moves, his comic timing, or just his all-around star power, Tata Play Binge has your watchlist sorted. It’s a birthday bash the Dhawan way — vibrant, versatile, and full of heart.
