Param Sundari

“The film, however, doesn't allow its lovers a chance to do any heavy breathing. The limpid-eyed Janhvi tries hard with the Malayali accent, calling attention to the effort, and the chiselled Sidharth gets to flaunt his abs, but this isn't a film which gives its lovers a chance to do any heavy breathing.”

“Param Sundari works because it isn't ashamed of being familiar; it revels in it. Where the film shines brightest is in its cultural immersion. In the end, Param Sundari is a comfort food cinema—familiar, yes, but warm, fragrant, and deeply satisfying.”

“PARAM SUNDARI makes for a pleasant Bollywood rom-com. The story may follow a familiar template, yet the treatment ensures a breezy, light-hearted watch that connects well with the youth through its mix of emotions, romance, music, and drama. At the box office, the film is likely to open decently and has the potential for a healthy theatrical run.”

“The pleasant feel-good ambience and the synergistic chemistry between the lead pair work well, though the script is unevenly paced and could have been a crisp minus-2-hour watch instead of the present length of 136 minutes. Overall, it's a lighthearted stress-free watch ideal for pyar ishq mohabbat fans, with Janhvi Kapoor delivering an excellent performance and Sidharth Malhotra looking better than ever, despite the film's descent into routine tropes.”

“Even if it largely remains in the known territory, fans of breezy romances will find it a pleasant watch.”

“It's a must-watch for all Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor fans”

“... delivers stunning Kerala visuals and good music, but lacks chemistry and a compelling story. Yet another predictable and forgettable Bollywood love story.”

“Param Sundari starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor is a predictable rom-com that relies on clichés and lacks substance.”

“Sometimes, you just don’t need a perfect story. All you need is a good location, good looking actors and solid entertainment and that’s exactly what Janhvi Kapoor-Sidharth Malhotra’s ‘Param Sundari’ could deliver. Though the candy-floss cuteness could be nauseating after sometime...”

“If by any chance films could be tasted, this one is a culinary experience akin to drinking protein shake from a coconut”

“Ironically, the only seekh I carried home was that romantic comedies are hard to make and even harder to perform with conviction.”

“It's never a good sign when I start thinking of colourful analogies and lines for the review while the film is still on. It's a worse sign when I start reviewing the review itself mid-film.”
