Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari Review: Varun Dhawan, Janhvi 
Have you ever started a movie and sort of known where it’s all heading, but you still kept watching because you hoped, maybe, just maybe, it could surprise you? That sums up how I felt a few minutes into Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.
– Varun Dhawan is back doing what he always does—love, confusion, lots of running around.
– Janhvi Kapoor is Tulsi. She gets dumped, tries to move on, and wears her awkwardness like a badge.
– The whole movie feels like one big, colourful wedding. You might even pause to wonder if Bollywood knows any other vibe lately.
The Story: Familiar, But Does It Work?
Let’s get real. The plot is your classic “let’s crash an ex’s wedding” setup.
– Sunny (Varun) loses his girlfriend Ananya (Sanya Malhotra), who moves on and is set to marry Vikram (Rohit Saraf).
– Tulsi (Janhvi Kapoor) also gets dumped by her boyfriend, Vikram, for another girl.
– What’s next? The heartbroken twosome hatch a plan to fake a romance—why not, right? Sparks are bound to fly.
The formula isn’t new, and if you’ve seen Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, or really any recent Varun rom-com, you’ll feel at home. That’s both good and bad. Sometimes comfort is what you need, sometimes you’re left wanting more.[1][2]
Varun Dhawan: Still Got That Comic Timing
Honestly, love him or feel meh, Dhawan’s got comic scenes down to an art. Is he pushing boundaries here? Not really, it’s classic Varun.
– His puns and one-liners land, at least sometimes.
– There are sweet moments, especially when he tries and fails at poetry, stumbling through his own feelings.
– You get the sense he knows what his fans want, and he delivers. The role never demands anything heavy or deep, though.[3][4][1]
Janhvi Kapoor: Steps Up, But…
Janhvi as Tulsi is earnest. She tries. It shows. Some bits work. A few major close-ups make you root for her. But there are places, around emotional climaxes, where you wish she dug deeper.
– Maybe it’s the writing, maybe it’s the genre, but there’s a sameness to her character beats.
– Still, the moments where she goes from shy to “let’s break a wedding”—those got a smile from me.[2][1]
Music, Colours, and That Bollywood Glitz
Prepare your eyes (and ears). The movie doesn’t hold back on spectacle.
– Every song is a party—dance numbers, all the colours, extra everything.
– Fashion pops, wedding sets sparkle, and everyone seems camera-ready 24/7.
– If you love big fat filmi weddings, you’ll get your fill here.[5][4]
But—sometimes it feels like the movie forgets its story. Were the songs fun? Sure. Were they needed? Not always. This is classic Bollywood filler for some, guilty pleasure for others.
What About That Chemistry?
This isn’t Varun and Alia. I tried to look for sparks, and a couple showed up. But if you’re hoping for instant sizzle, manage those expectations.
– There’s an awkward charm in how Varun and Janhvi bounce off each other’s schemes.
– It’s less “wow,” more “aww, okay.” Think comfort food.
– The supporting cast—especially Sanya Malhotra as Ananya and Rohit Saraf as Vikram—are fine, doing what’s needed, not stealing scenes.
Laughs vs. Logic
A warning (if you need it): don’t overthink the plot.
– There’s a lot of “would real people ever do that?” moments.
– But if you’re after logic, this isn’t the place. Go with the flow, or you’ll be stuck picking plot holes.
– A few jokes made me chuckle, mostly thanks to Varun’s timing—sometimes just his face says it all.
Audience Reaction: Who’s Loving It?
– Fans of easy rom-coms are eating this up. It’s drama, dances, jokes—no much heaviness.
– Some folks are not happy with the “seen it all before” vibe. I get that.
– Varun’s comedy gets shout-outs on social. Janhvi’s fans think she’s adorable, even when the script is shaky.
The movie opened well at the box office. Not massive, but way more than people expected, especially since it released alongside some heavy hitters.
According to NDTV, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has made an impressive mark by collecting over ₹20 crores in its first three days. ndtv.com
Personal Highs and Lows
What I enjoyed:
– Some dialogue is genuinely funny.
– Varun’s expressions in awkward moments.
– The wedding chaos—it’s over the top, and sometimes you just need that.
What didn’t work for me:
– Too much shine, not enough story.
– Chemistry that could’ve popped more.
– The “let’s teach exes a lesson” thing feels tired after a while.
Should You Watch Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari?
If you want something simple, fun, and kind of predictable to unwind with, this could do the trick. Go in for the dances and colours, not for a moving love story or fresh plot.
– Watch it with friends. Or maybe on a lazy Sunday when you’re not looking for heavy drama.
– If you like Varun being Varun, and don’t mind a well-worn formula, it’s worth your time.
– If you expect a modern take, new storytelling, or sizzling new chemistry, temper those hopes.
The movie is pure, undemanding Bollywood. Nothing pathbreaking, but not a disaster either.
