Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari on Netflix: As Varun Dhawan’s film hits OTT on Nov 27, did it outperform his previous hit ‘Bhediya’ and Janhvi’s ‘Param Sundari’ with Rs 98 crore worldwide gross? Bollywood

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari on Netflix: As Varun Dhawan"™s film hits OTT on Nov 27, did it outperform his previous hit "˜Bhediya"™ and Janhvi"™s "˜Param Sundari"™ with Rs 98 crore worldwide gross?

The Shashank Khaitan directorial is all set for its digital premiere this November 27.Here"™s a detailed look at its theatrical report card and how it stacks up against the stars' recent hits. After a theatrical run filled with festive cheer and family drama, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is ready to enter living rooms.The romantic comedy, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, will premiere on Netflix on November 27. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari marks the highly anticipated third collaboration between Varun Dhawan and director Shashank Khaitan, following the massive successes of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, leading fans to dub it the "spiritual successor" to the celebrated franchise. Staying true to their signature style, the narrative revolves around Sunny (Varun) and Tulsi (Janhvi)"”two contrasting personalities forced to navigate a "fake relationship" amidst the chaos of a big fat Indian wedding, resulting in a classic comedy of errors. However, the film's theatrical run wasn't without hurdles; trade analysts noted that the collections were slightly dented by the massive buzz surrounding the pan-India release Kantara: Chapter 1, which occupied a significant chunk of single screens during the same period. Below is the final breakdown of its theatrical run: India Net Collection: ₹ 61.85 Cr India Gross Collection: ₹ 73.85 Cr Overseas Collection: ₹ 24.50 Cr Worldwide Collection: ₹ 98.35 Cr With a worldwide gross of ₹ 98.35 Cr, the film narrowly missed the double-century mark (₹ 100 Cr). The Overseas collection of ₹ 24.5 Cr is a highlight, proving that the Dhawan-Khaitan trademark humor still holds strong appeal among international desi audiences. Varun Dhawan returns to his celebrated "Dulhania" roots with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, cementing his status as the genre's reliable star. When analyzing his recent box office trajectory, the film lands in a familiar zone. It falls slightly short of his previous family entertainer, JugJugg Jeeyo, which collected approximately ₹85 Cr (India Net)"”a gap likely attributed to the current saturation within the genre.Sunny Sanskari mirrors the performance of his creature-comedy Bhediya. With Bhediya having earned around ₹ 68.99 Cr India Nett .Interestingly, while Sunny Sanskari (₹ 61.85 Cr) trails slightly behind Bhediya in domestic earnings, it has outperformed Bhediya's Worldwide Collection of ₹ 94.91 Cr by grossing ₹ 98.35 Cr, largely thanks to a much stronger overseas performance (₹ 24.5 Cr vs Bhediya's ₹ 13.5 Cr). This places the new release in the same "Average" to "Semi-Hit" bracket as his earlier experimental ventures. Janhvi Kapoor continues her ascent as a commercial force following a remarkably busy year. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari adds another significant title to her portfolio, showcasing a clear upward trend in her box office draw. Earlier this year, her romantic entertainer Param Sundari emerged as a surprise success, grossing close to ₹75 Cr worldwide. Sunny Sanskari has comfortably outperformed that benchmark with a global total of ₹98.35 Cr, effectively cementing her bankability in the romantic-comedy space. All in all, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari wraps up its theatrical journey as a respectable semi-hit. While it couldn't replicate the franchise highs of Badrinath Ki Dulhania, it successfully weathered the storm of Kantara: Chapter 1 to post healthy global numbers.With its vibrant aesthetic and light-hearted humor, the movie is tailor-made for home viewing. As it premieres on Netflix this November 27, it is expected to find a massive second wind, catering to the family audience that prefers enjoying rom-coms from the comfort of their living rooms.

Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari Day 1 Early Estimates: Opens On Expected Lines

Mumbai, October 2 - Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's rom-com Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has taken a decent start at the box office. The film began on a fair note in the morning shows and made steady progress throughout the day, getting the benefit of the holiday. However, due to the tough competition with Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1, the movie failed to make a big impact despite the big holiday, particularly on single screens where the Kannada action drama enjoyed dominance. According to early estimates, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has collected in the range of 9"“10 crore net on its opening day, which is broadly in line with trade expectations. The initial audience feedback is mixed, with appreciation performance and music, but divided opinions on the narrative and overall execution. With Saturday and Sunday still to come, the film's weekend trend will be crucial in determining whether it can consolidate its start and build momentum despite stiff competition. Stay tuned...

Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumar Box Office Preview/Opening Day Expectations

Mumbai, October 1 - Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's romantic comedy drama Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is gearing up for release this Dussehra, amid some expectations. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the film has managed to catch the attention with songs and trailer, which is aimed at the family audience. It has been certified U/A by the CBFC and carries a runtime of 2 hours 15 minutes. Varun Dhawan and Shashank Khaitan are a proven combo, having delivered box office hits like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, and the expectations are no different this time either. However, unlike in the past, there are challenges for the film this time. While the trade is expecting this combo to hit the bull's eye, the ground buzz doesn't seem to be that strong. The advance booking of the film was opened a couple of days ago, but it hasn't found momentum with less than a day to go for the release. The pre-sales are proceeding at a slow pace, with the big momentum missing that usually accompanies a festive release. So far, the movie has accumulated approximately 1.40 crore in pre-sales and is heading for a finish around 2.50"“3 crore gross for the opening day. This figure places the film below the advance sale of recent Bollywood releases like Jolly LLB 3 (3.23 crore gross) and Sitaare Zameen Par (3.30 crore gross), both of which managed to open in double digits on Day 1. Given the current trend, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari might struggle to reach that mark and is instead looking at an opening in the 8"“10 crore net range domestically. The film does, however, benefit from the Dussehra holiday, which could give a crucial boost to its spot bookings, especially in urban multiplexes. The challenge lies in single screens, where Kantara: Chapter 1 is enjoying stronger buzz and demand, making the competition tougher for Varun and Janhvi"™s outing. Directed by Shashank Khaitan and backed by Dharma Productions, the film also stars Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf in supporting roles. With positive word of mouth and the holiday advantage, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari still has a chance to build momentum post its release, but its opening day numbers are likely to stay modest compared to recent big festive Bollywood launches.
