Bollywood’s much-anticipated Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (SSKTK) has hit cinemas, reuniting director Shashank Khaitan with Varun Dhawan after a decade since Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014). Featuring Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf, the film carries the glossy Dharma Productions template—lavish sets, peppy songs, and family drama wrapped in romance. But does it deliver? Find out in our Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari Review.
Plot Overview
The story follows Sunny (Varun Dhawan) and Tulsi (Janhvi Kapoor), who are both left heartbroken when their partners—Ananya (Sanya Malhotra) and Vikram (Rohit Saraf)—decide to marry each other. Nursing rejection, Sunny and Tulsi join forces to sabotage the wedding. What unfolds is a whirlwind of break-ups, gate-crashing, chaotic family drama, and comic banter against the backdrop of a grand Udaipur wedding.
Performances & Direction
Varun Dhawan once again proves his flair for rom-coms. His comic timing, goofy charm, and energy keep the film engaging.
Janhvi Kapoor looks graceful and earnest but struggles in emotional sequences, especially when paired against Varun’s effortless presence.
Sanya Malhotra elevates her underwritten role with sheer acting skill, while Rohit Saraf delivers a steady and likable performance.
Supporting acts like Maniesh Paul provide scattered laughs.
Director Shashank Khaitan blends elements of his earlier Dulhania films with modern quirks, including social media cameos, witty one-liners, and nostalgia-driven Bollywood references. However, the screenplay falters in the second half, with predictable twists, stretched sequences, and a rushed climax that undercuts the emotional payoff.
Music & Technicals
The soundtrack by Tanishk Bagchi, Sachet–Parampara, Guru Randhawa, and APS complements the film’s festive vibe. “Panwaadi” emerges as a standout track. However, the film’s editing (Manan Sagar, Charu Shree Roy) could have been tighter, trimming unnecessary fluff.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari Review: Verdict
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is visually glossy, intermittently funny, but unevenly written. It tries to juggle romance, revenge, and family drama but never fully commits to one. While Varun Dhawan shoulders the film, Janhvi’s inconsistent performance and the muddled second half dilute its impact.
Rating: ⭐⭐½ / 5
Watch it if you’re a fan of Varun Dhawan or love big-fat Bollywood wedding chaos, but don’t expect the magic of Humpty Sharma or Badrinath Ki Dulhania.
