Summary
- 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' released on October 2, 2022

The Bollywood romantic comedy 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' hit theaters on October 2nd, 2022, coinciding with the Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti holidays. The film, directed by Shashank Khaitan, stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles. The duo had previously worked together in the film 'Bawaal'.
However, 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' is facing stiff competition from the Kannada film 'Kantara: Chapter 1', which is generating far stronger buzz and box office projections. While 'Sunny Sanskari' had decent advance bookings, expected to open in the range of ₹8-10 crore, 'Kantara' is projected to earn ₹12-15 crore on its opening day in the Hindi market alone.
The article notes that in the current era where action and larger-than-life movies are working, a romantic comedy like 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' may struggle to find its footing. However, the recent success of films like 'Saiyaara' has carved a path for romcoms to make a comeback in theaters. The film's performance will be closely watched to see if it can breach the double-digit opening mark and revive the genre's fortunes at the box office.
