After Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania & Badrinath Ki Dulhania, the filmmaker Shashank
Khaitan reunited with Varun Dhawan for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, also
featuring the ensemble cast of Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh
Paul, Akshay Oberoi, and Abhinav Sharma, among others.
The promotional assets of the film have created curiosity among cinegoers,
especially due to its catchy and peppy soundtrack. But will Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi
Kumari impress the audience? Let’s find out…
The plot begins with Sunny (Varun Dhawan) in Baahubali’s avatar and his friend
Bantu (Abhinav Sharma) as Katappa from the movie, gearing up for a special
moment as the former is set to propose to his girlfriend, Ananya (Sanya Malhotra).
However, she rejects his marriage proposal, saying that her parents have arranged
her marriage with Vikram Singh (Rohit Saraf), who belongs to a royal and wealthy
family.
Sunny gets shattered, but through Bantu, he comes to know that Vikram also
recently broke up with Tulsi (Janhvi Kapoor) to marry Ananya. Now, Sunny and Tulsi
plan to break their marriage by pretending to be a couple during their pre-wedding
festivities. However, things get complicated when the duo unknowingly start falling for
each other. What will happen next? Will they chase their lovers and express their
feelings to each other?
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari explores several societal and Gen Z dynamics, like
marrying a person of your stature, a woman sacrificing her ambitions and
situationship and blends them with humour, heart, and relevant storytelling.
Khaitan, like his previous films, smoothly combines the love story with comical
punches and witty one-liners to take the entertainment quotient to another level.
While the first half is breezy and filled with laughter moments, a couple of
melodramatic sequences make the second half a bit draggy. However, the
entertainment quotient remains high due to the palpable chemistry between the leads
and smart writing.
Talking about the performances, Varun Dhawan carries his own charm with
innocence and swag, while Janhvi shines in her nuanced portrayal. Rohit and Sanya
also contribute amply with their relevant and layered characters. Maniesh Paul and
Abhinav Sharma tickle you silly with their comic timing, while Oberoi does a decent
job in his limited screentime.
On the whole, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is a fun entertainer filled with humour,
heart and romance.
Raghavs Final Take:
Shashank Khaithan like in ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ and ‘Badrinath Ki
Dulhania’ dishes up another light, feel good romcom that’s very much in the alley of a Dharma
Productions movie. High on production value, shot in exotic locations that taps into Varun Dhawans
comfort zone where pretty well.
It’s a fun watch, can be viewed with your family. A clean entertainer for people who want to have a
good time at the theatres. If you are someone who looks for detailed layering in the story or depth in
performances this may not be your cup of tea.
