Movie Review:
Story:
After being dumped by their respective lovers, two strangers, Sunny Sanskari (Varun Dhawan) and Tulsi Kumari (Janhvi Kapoor), team up and set out on a mission to win them back. Their big plan? Crash and break up Ananya (Sanya Malhotra) and Vikram’s (Rohit Saraf) wedding. What follows is a rollercoaster of comedy and emotions. But will they succeed?
Review:
Writer-director Shashank Khaitan’s rom-com opens with Sunny gearing up to propose to Ananya after her return from a trip to Italy. However, his world comes crashing down (along with the towering statues of Baahubali and Devasena as he recreates the iconic movie’s setting to propose) when Ananya tells him that they were never really in a relationship but only in a “situationship.”
Heartbroken but determined to win her back, Sunny finds unlikely company in Tulsi, Vikram’s ex-girlfriend, when his best friend Bantu (Abhinav Sharma) introduces them. Together, the trio heads to Udaipur with one mission in mind — to stop Ananya and Vikram’s wedding.
The film leans on familiar tropes, such as the middle-class boy and girl transforming into chic, stylish avatars, and the classic attempt to make their former lovers jealous to win back lost love. Yet, Khaitan keeps the ride engaging with a breezy narrative, peppered with witty pop culture and self-references, including Karan Johar’s irreverent guest appearance.
Depicting a wealthy couple’s wedding naturally brings together all the elements expected of a film in this genre — a lavish palace venue, glamour, vibrant soirees, and plenty of music and dance. The soundtrack features high-energy numbers, such as Tanishk Bagchi’s Panwadi and the redux of Sonu Nigam’s Bijuria, alongside Sachet–Parampara’s romantic track Tu Hai Meri. The songs are catchy and well-mounted, but their frequent placement tends to disrupt the film’s rhythm.
The first half breezes by with hilarious moments, largely thanks to Sunny and Tulsi’s antics and the witty banter between Sunny’s buddy Bantu (Abhinav Sharma) and the goofy wedding planner, Kuku (Maniesh Paul). However, while there are still comic sequences that land well, the overall pacing dips after the interval. The editing by Manan Sagar and Charu Shree Roy feels uneven in parts, particularly during the jungle safari sequence and a few flashback scenes. Similarly, the portrayal of Vikram’s snobbish family and the cracks beneath their seemingly perfect façade come across as a little forced and underdeveloped.
There are few actors in the industry who can pull off comedy as effortlessly as Varun Dhawan, who is perfectly cast as Sunny here. His comic timing is impeccable, and he oozes charm even in silly scenes like recreating Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘sattar minute’ speech from Chak De! India or imitating Salman Khan. Janhvi Kapoor is impressive as the plain Jane with a spunky side that even she seems unaware of, pulling off both emotional and funny moments with ease. Sanya Malhotra is striking in every frame, while Rohit Saraf is convincing as the rich boy caught under his domineering mother and brother Param’s (Akshay Oberoi) control. One of the highlights is a scene where the quartet, intoxicated after a function, inch towards the haveli on all fours like sloths.
At its core, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari delivers what it promises: a glitzy, colourful rom-com packed with humour, charm, and entertaining performances.
