About Param Sundari

Helmed by Tushar Jalota and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, the film stars Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles, alongside Manjot Singh, Sanjay Kapoor, Renji Panicker, Innayat Verma and Tanvi Ram in key roles. The story follows Param, a North Indian boy from Delhi, who searches for his soulmate through an AI app, which leads him to Sundari, a South Indian girl from Kerala. The film received mixed reviews, with many praising its soundtrack and cinematography but criticising the story and the ‘stereotypical’ portrayal of South Indian girls. Sidharth and Janhvi’s on-screen chemistry also drew a mixed response.

Sidharth’s wife and actor Kiara Advani took to Instagram to give a positive review of the film. She especially praised Sidharth's performance and wrote, “A feel-good romcom that leaves you with the biggest smile! @sidmalhotra Param was pure magic on screen – you owned every beat, every frame, effortless, charming and pitch-perfect. Your comic timing made it even more memorable.”
