Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

“As things stand, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is more froth than fizz.”

“Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari settles creakily back in the sangeet-sagaai-shaadi template awash with star-crossed lovers and their parivarik conflicts. In short, everything we've seen before, in multiple iterations, over the years, because that's literally all mainstream Bollywood rom coms seem capable of these days. In too many places, the spectacle is allowed to overpower the screenplay, which is too busy whipping up hit-film-referencing dialogues and situations to bother about creating real feeling.”

“Varun Dhawan is back in form after the mishaps that were Baby John and Citadel, exuding confidence, comic timing, and a freshness that was lacking for long. The Varun-Janhvi pairing is synergistic and the energy in their dance sequences is something to relish, with the film offering a light, sparkling narrative that is refreshingly done.”

“The film is at once hilariously boisterous, romantically tender, and quietly observant of the cultural tides of its time. It is imperfect, a little unruly, occasionally rushed, but also joyous, sincere, and unexpectedly profound. It reminds us that romcoms, like old songs, never truly go out of style.”

“Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is a fun entertainer filled with humour, heart and romance.”

“SANSKARI KI TULSI KUMARI is an entertainer”

“At its core, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari delivers what it promises: a glitzy, colourful rom-com packed with humour, charm, and entertaining performances.”

“The film entertains with witty dialogues but stumbles with a rushed climax and awkward scenes, says our review.”

“Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is one of those mindless fluff kind of date movies, where there is no real conflict, lots of singing and dancing in fancy outfits. For its flimsy plot, which the title gives way, it's much too long.”

“Watching Varun and Janhvi try to make the story work is fun but frustrating. In every frame featuring Janhvi Kapoor, I couldn't help but picture Alia Bhatt instead, whose chemistry with Varun Dhawan in Shashank Khaitan's earlier films made them crackle onscreen in ways this film fails to replicate.”

“SSTKT is not just a poor reflection of our cinematic skill sets; it is a poor refractive index of what film production houses conceive as entertainment or audience choice. Take Varun Dhawan out, and the entire thing falls like a well-decked pack of cards. No bother to pick or reshuffle, simply let go.”
