Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari Review: Varun’s Acting SAVES the Day, But Story Disappoints – Reddit Goes WILD

Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor‘s much-anticipated romantic comedy “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari“(SSKTK) hit theatres on October 2, coinciding with the Dussehra festivities. While the film has managed to draw audiences during the holiday weekend, the sunny sanskari ki tulsi kumari movie review reveals a mixed bag of emotions from critics and viewers alike.

Varun Dhawan Carries the Film on His Shoulders

According to multiple audience reactions, “Varun Dhawan’s stellar performance has become the film’s saving grace”. Social media platforms, particularly Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), erupted with honest reviews praising the actor’s comic timing and emotional depth. One Reddit user summed it up perfectly: “Watched full, one time watch….if you have nothing else to do. Not intolerable, but the story lags a lot.”

The Dharma Productions venture, directed by Shashank Khaitan, currently holds a 6.7/10 rating on IMDb. Critics have awarded it 3.5 out of 5 stars, acknowledging the film’s entertainment quotient while pointing out its narrative shortcomings.

Story Falls Flat Despite Star Power

The biggest criticism in this sunny sanskari ki tulsi kumari movie review centers around the film’s predictable storyline. The plot follows two former lovers in Delhi attempting to rekindle their romance, leading to amusing mix-ups and unexpected twists. However, audiences felt the narrative lacked the freshness that made Khaitan’s earlier “Dulhania” films blockbusters.

Social media users expressed particular disappointment over Sanya Malhotra‘s limited screen time. “The one side plot doesn’t even land,” commented a moviegoer, highlighting the film’s struggle with subplot development. Some viewers rated it as low as 1.5 stars, calling it “over-hyped.”

SSKTK Box Office Battle and Audience Verdict

Opening against Rishab Shetty‘s “Kantara Chapter 1,” the film earned approximately Rs 9.25 crore on its first day. While the numbers appear decent for a romantic comedy, the film faces stiff competition during the festive season.

Despite mixed reviews, some viewers have praised the film as a “colourful, vibrant entertainer that thrives on drama, emotions, and humour.” The film’s peppy soundtrack and family-friendly appeal have worked in its favour, making it a viable option for festive entertainment.

For audiences seeking light-hearted entertainment without sky-high expectations, “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari” delivers a one-time watch experience, primarily riding on Varun Dhawan‘s capable shoulders.
