Bollywood’s much-talked-about romantic comedy, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (SSKTK), brings back the charm of rand weddings, melodious music, and youthful love. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the movie follows a similar Dharma Production formula. Now, the confusion is whether it manages to capture the magic of Dulhania’s film of Shashank Khaitan. Let’s try to figure out from our detailed Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari Review.
Plot Overview
The story revolves around Sunny (Varun Dhawan), a carefree jeweller’s son, who is left heartbroken when Ananya (Sanya Malhotra) chooses family approval over love and agrees to marry Vikram (Rohit Saraf). Similarly, Vikram abandons Tulsi after a 12-year relationship. Nursing heartbreak. Hence, Tulsi and Sunny join hands to crash the wedding of their exes in Udaipur with the hope of reclaiming their lost love.
The premise might promise chaotic fun. However, the screenplay often feels stretched and predictable. Still, the first half gives light-hearted humour and some witty one-liners. On the other hand, the second half was marked by confusion, an overly long wedding sequence, and repetitive loops.
Performances
- Varun Dhawan is undoubtedly the star of the film. His effortless comic timing, high-energy dance numbers, and goofy charm keep the audience engaged.
- Janhvi Kapoor looks earnest but falters in emotional scenes. Plus, she also struggles to match Varun’s energy.
- Sanya Malhotra impresses despite a limited role. Moreover, Rohit Saraf adds sincerity to his character.
- Maniesh Paul, as the wedding planner, delivers genuine laughs.
Music & Production
The movie gives the glossy Dharma templates, like lavish sets, sequined costumes, and grand song sequences. Moreover, the soundtrack, featuring Tanishk Bagchi, Sachet–Parampara, and Guru Randhawa, complements the film’s narrative. However, there is no doubt that Panwaadi stands out as a catchy track in the movie.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari Review: Verdict
In short, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari explores the theme of love versus family expectation. Unfortunately, weak writing and a rushed climax dilute the emotional pull from the film. However, the film entertains in parts due to the performance of Varun Dhawan and the light-hearted humor. Still, the narrative fails to leave a lasting impact on the audience.
You can consider watching the movie if you enjoy light-hearted rom-com movies and do not mind the predictable story in the film.
