Varun-Janhvi Starrer Fails to Reach Global Box Office Target Amid Kantara's Rise
7 Oct
Summary
- Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari earns Rs 33 crore domestically by first Monday
- Film faces stiff competition from Kantara Chapter 1, struggles to cross Rs 50-crore mark globally
- Receives mixed reviews from critics and audiences
Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's romantic comedy Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has faced a mixed reception since its release on October 2, 2025. The film, directed by Shashank Khaitan, earned Rs 9.25 crore on its opening day, a higher figure than some recent Bollywood romcoms. However, it experienced a significant drop in collections over the following days, earning only Rs 3 crore on its first Monday.
The film's performance has been hampered by stiff competition from Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1, which has emerged as the dominant force at the box office. Despite a strong start, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has struggled to reach the Rs 50-crore global mark, with its current worldwide collections standing at around Rs 42 crore.
Critics and audiences have also given the film a mixed response, with some praising the lead actors' performances but criticizing the film's predictable plot and lack of originality. The makers had even offered a Buy One Get One (BOGO) deal on Monday, October 6, 2025, in an attempt to boost the film's performance, but it failed to have a significant impact on the collections.
