Varun Dhawan's Comeback Sparks Anticipation Ahead of 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' Release

As of September 30th, 2025, Varun Dhawan is preparing for his highly anticipated big-screen comeback with the romantic comedy 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari'. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the film pairs Dhawan opposite Janhvi Kapoor and is positioned as Dharma Productions' next family entertainer.

The advance sales for 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' have been steady, with roughly 10,529 tickets booked across the country as of two days before the release. However, the film faces stiff competition from Rishab Shetty's much-hyped 'Kantara: Chapter 1', which is leading in advance bookings. Trade circles estimate that pre-sales for 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' could climb to the 50,000-mark by the time of its release, but it remains to be seen if it can outshine its rival.

The film is expected to open with a collection of ₹10.50 crore to ₹12.50 crore, depending on last-minute spot bookings and audience feedback once the shows begin. Analysts stress that its reception will play a pivotal role not only in Varun Dhawan's current streak but also in shaping Dharma's run of traditional entertainers. Post-pandemic shifts in audience taste have made predictions cautious, but the industry consensus is that 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' has room to grow if the narrative connects with the audience.
