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 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.

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.

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.

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

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