Mumbai: Bollywood’s latest family entertainer Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has hit the screens, bringing together Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor under director Shashank Khaitan’s vibrant storytelling. The film, designed as a colourful blend of humour, emotions, and romance, succeeds in providing the right dose of entertainment for both youth and family audiences.
The film unfolds with brisk pacing, ensuring viewers remain engaged. The first half is loaded with situational comedy and witty dialogues, while the second half shifts gears into drama, offering emotionally resonant moments. Despite some predictable turns and a slight dip in momentum after the interval, the narrative regains its high with a well-executed pre-climax and finale.
One of the highlights of the film is its soundtrack. Numbers like Bijuria and Panwadi are already chartbusters, and their placement in the story adds energy to the proceedings. The choreography, especially in Panwadi, has been widely appreciated for its mass appeal.
Performances further elevate the film. Varun Dhawan is in top form with his impeccable comic timing, electrifying energy, and surprising emotional depth. Janhvi Kapoor provides a sincere and glowing presence, complementing her co-star effectively. Rohit Saraf impresses with his pivotal moments, while Sanya Malhotra’s natural performance is another standout. Supporting actors Maniesh Paul and Akshay Oberoi add flavour to the ensemble.
Director Shashank Khaitan’s treatment is key to the film’s appeal. His knack for balancing humour with emotion, combined with glossy visuals and a breezy narrative style, ensures that Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari stays engaging.
Verdict: While not without its flaws, the film delivers on its promise a crowd-pleasing entertainer that blends comedy, drama, and music into a wholesome Bollywood package. It may not reinvent the genre, but it certainly celebrates it.
