About Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

Helmed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Dharma Productions and Mentor Disciple Entertainment, the film stars Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Rohit Saraf and Sanya Malhotra, with Maniesh Paul, Akshay Oberoi and Abhinav Sharma in supporting roles. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with many criticising its dull storyline and cringe-worthy scenes. However, Varun Dhawan’s performance was widely appreciated.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review reads: “You wish the film had more of this spark, but such moments are few. Varun and Janhvi look good together, yet the story itself lacks surprises. You can predict its moves from a kilometre away. The only person fully invested is Varun, who has mastered these goofy characters to the point of effortlessness. He is the one who keeps you in your seat.”
