Varun Dhawan, returning to his comfort zone of vibrant romantic comedy, delivers a lively performance as "Sunny," a tradition-bound lover caught in the chaos of familial expectations and wedding madness. Together, the pair create an infectious energy that has resonated with audiences.
While Janhvi and Varun headline the film, the supporting cast is also winning accolades. Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf, playing extended family members, are being praised as the "surprise packets" of the film.
“Their presence added so much freshness. Every time they were on screen, the film just got better,” one fan commented.
From colorful visuals to foot-tapping songs and chaotic wedding scenes, SSKTK taps into the very essence of a traditional Bollywood rom-com. The vibrant production design and glossy cinematography enhance the escapist charm of the film.
"The wedding chaos is everything. I loved it! Just a perfect light-hearted film for the festive season,” said one moviegoer who caught an early morning show on a rainy Dussehra morning."
Fans have also praised the witty dialogue and the blend of modern humour with old-school romance, which feels tailor-made for a festive family outing.
Critics have given it mixed reviews
Despite the glowing audience feedback, not everyone is equally impressed. A review by Hindustan Times offered a more measured perspective, highlighting issues in the film’s storytelling. “The core idea of the film, that nobody should have to sacrifice love due to familial pressure, is lost because the families themselves never convince you,” the review notes. It further states that while the writing by Shashank Khaitan and Ishita Moitra leans heavily on romance, it falls short of fleshing out the family dynamics that are supposed to drive the plot.
The review concludes that the film "suffers not from a lack of ambition but a lack of clarity," attempting to juggle too many themes, romance, tradition, comedy, and drama, without committing fully to any.
