'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' Fails to Match 'Kantara's' Blockbuster Run
8 Oct
Summary
- 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' struggling to reach Rs 40 crore at box office
- 'Kantara: Chapter 1' has earned Rs 290 crore in 6 days, 80% more than 'Sunny Sanskari'
- 'Kantara' had over 8,000 shows, while 'Sunny Sanskari' dropped to 2,802 shows by day 6
As of October 8th, 2025, the Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor-starrer 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' is struggling to even touch the Rs 40 crore mark at the box office. The film, directed by Shashank Khaitan, has been overshadowed by the massive success of Rishab Shetty's 'Kantara: Chapter 1'.
In the past week, 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' has managed to add only Rs 3 crore to its total, which now stands at Rs 36.25 crore. In comparison, 'Kantara: Chapter 1' has emerged as a true box office juggernaut, earning a staggering Rs 290 crore in just six days - nearly 80% more than the romantic drama.
The stark contrast in their performances is also reflected in the number of shows. While 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' was initially allotted around 3,021 shows, the count has now dropped to 2,802. In contrast, 'Kantara: Chapter 1' launched with over 8,000 shows across multiple languages and is still going strong with 7,887 screenings nationwide.
The disappointing performance of 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' comes at a crucial juncture for lead actor Varun Dhawan, who has been seeking a strong box office revival. His last undisputed hit was 'Sui Dhaaga' in 2018, and since then, several of his films have failed to make a mark.
As 'Kantara: Chapter 1' continues to dominate the box office, the big question now is whether 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' will manage to hit its breakeven point in the coming week.
