Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is a breezy romantic comedy that tries to blend old-school Bollywood charm with modern sensibilities — and while it hits some of the right notes, it doesn’t always strike the perfect rhythm. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the film carries his signature mix of color, dance, and emotional highs, but lacks the freshness that once defined his earlier work.

The story revolves around Sunny (Varun Dhawan) and Tulsi (Janhvi Kapoor), two heartbroken individuals who decide to crash their exes’ destination wedding to make them jealous — only to find love in each other. It’s a familiar rom-com setup, filled with misunderstandings, dramatic confessions, and the inevitable dance numbers at a big, loud Indian wedding. The film’s biggest strength lies in its comic energy and lighthearted tone, offering just enough warmth to keep audiences entertained through its predictable twists.
Varun Dhawan shines with his effortless comic timing and natural charm, carrying much of the film’s humor on his shoulders. Rohit Saraf makes a strong impression in a limited role, while Sanya Malhotra brings balance to the ensemble. Janhvi Kapoor, though sincere, still struggles to bring depth to Tulsi’s emotional arc — her performance often feels more practiced than lived-in.
Shashank Khaitan’s direction ensures the film remains visually engaging, and the family-centric emotions give it a festive flavor, especially around its Dussehra release. However, the music — usually a strong suit in his films — fails to leave a lasting impact this time, especially with the songs.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari isn’t a bad film; it’s just an average one. A watchable, mildly funny, and occasionally touching romantic comedy that plays it safe. If you’re looking for a simple, feel-good entertainer for a family evening, this one fits the bill — just don’t expect too many surprises or finesse.
