Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

My headache maxed out here....waste of time, money and energy...such dumb plot, worst acting, staring in wall for 3hrs will be much better...I suggest to not even watch it for free..title is the whole plot only and nothing else to watch just stretched out title for 3 hours... after the first scene only the movie lost all my interest.

Shashank Khaitan's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari positions itself as a madcap wedding entertainer, a genre Bollywood has revisited time and again. On paper, it promises the usual cocktail of love, confusion, music, and dance, but in execution, it wobbles between wanting to be a romance and a family drama. While there are enjoyable performances and some energetic music, the film suffers from a lack of focus and a predictable storyline.

The first half drags its feet, takes its sweet time to find its rhythm. By the time the narrative begins to warm up, the second half starts stretching itself thin. The four leads remain indecisive, going in circles over their choices in love, which dilutes the momentum. The climax, rather than tying the threads neatly, feels hurried, leaving the audience neither emotionally stirred nor humorously satisfied.

The soundtrack is one of the film's better aspects. Ishq Manzoor is instantly catchy, Panwadi adds a lively punch, and the recreated Bijuria delivers the kind of high-energy spectacle audiences expect in a wedding entertainer. The cinematography and production design capture the big-fat-Indian-wedding aesthetic well bright colors, lavish sets, and high-energy dance sequences.

The film rests heavily on its cast, and they deliver in parts. Varun Dhawan is the biggest strength here. He slips effortlessly into the goofy-yet-endearing avatar and keep the viewer engaged, even when the script falters. Janhvi Kapoor continues her strong run post Param Sundari. She performs with sincerity and brings a natural presence to the screen. Sanya Malhotra is excellent, commanding attention whenever she's on screen, making you wish the film gave her even more to do. Rohit Saraf delivers a charming performance. Abhinav Sharma is adorably quirky. Maniesh Paul, meanwhile, plays the usual comic relief, very much in his familiar zone.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is a formulaic Bollywood rom-com that sticks too closely to the tried-and-tested template. The story offers nothing fresh-most of it is already revealed in the trailer, and unfortunately, the full-length film doesn't give you anything beyond that. It feels like you're watching an extended version of the trailer, scene by scene. The humor relies on repetitive gags that barely manage to evoke a chuckle, making the film feel dated despite its glossy packaging.

Varun Dhawan is the saving grace here. He carries the film on his shoulders with his trademark cheeky energy and charisma. His performance adds some life to an otherwise predictable narrative. Janhvi Kapoor's acting is average, much like many of her recent outings. She doesn't get a role that challenges her or allows her to show much range. Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf, despite their potential, are given underdeveloped roles with no character arcs-they simply do what's expected of them without leaving any impact.

Where the film does shine is in its visual appeal. As expected from a Dharma Productions project, the cinematography and production design are top-notch. Every frame looks vibrant and aesthetically crafted. However, even this visual finesse can't hide the weak storytelling. The music, though trending on YouTube, feels randomly inserted and disrupts the flow of the movie. It's there more for marketing than to support the narrative.

Overall, it's a very average film that doesn't try to do anything different. It's watchable only if you're in the mood for something extremely light, predictable, and visually rich. Otherwise, there's not much to take away from it.

"Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is a complete disappointment. No real comedy, weak performances, and a storyline that makes no sense. Neither entertaining nor engaging-just a total waste of time. Better to skip this one if you value your time and sanity." Please don't watch it and don't waste your time.

Went with so much expectations; it turned out to be disappointment. Thin and outdated story line, poor execution, average music, poor dialogues, average acting other than few (vd) who did well. At best an ott film.

Could have been whole lot better with better story, dialogues and situations. Not everyone knows how to show rich wedding on screen.
