Netflix, having secured the post-theatrical streaming rights, is preparing for a major global rollout of the film. Industry analysts believe the film’s visually rich aesthetic and light-hearted narrative—a trademark of director Shashank Khaitan—make it perfectly tailored for home viewing, particularly for family audiences and young viewers who missed its big-screen release.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari released in cinemas on October 2, 2025, coinciding with the Dussehra festive season. Despite its appealing cast and trademark romantic-comedy template, the film faced an uphill battle at the box office. Its theatrical performance was significantly impacted by a massive box office clash with the critically acclaimed and highly anticipated pan-India release, Kantara: Chapter 1, which dominated domestic and global earnings.
The film recorded a worldwide gross collection of approximately ₹98.35 crore, narrowly missing the ₹100 crore mark. However, its strong performance in the overseas market proved the international appeal of the Varun Dhawan-Shashank Khaitan combination.
The shift to Netflix offers the film a vital second wind. Romantic comedies frequently outperform their theatrical earnings on streaming platforms. With its cast commanding a wide fan base, the digital release is expected to help the film reach a much larger global audience than it managed during its congested theatrical window.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari marks the highly anticipated third collaboration between actor Varun Dhawan and director Shashank Khaitan, following the blockbuster successes of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017). Fans widely regard the film as the “spiritual successor” to this popular romantic franchise.
The narrative revolves around Sunny Sanskari (Varun Dhawan) and Tulsi Kumari (Janhvi Kapoor), two contrasting ex-lovers who concoct a hilarious plan. They decide to form a “fake relationship” to crash the wedding of their respective former partners—Ananya (Sanya Malhotra) and Vikram (Rohit Saraf)—to win them back. Naturally, their scheme plunges into a classic comedy of errors, creating mix-ups and chaos against the backdrop of a grand Indian wedding. Amidst the drama, an unexpected new romance blooms.
The light-hearted humour, vibrant aesthetic, and easy chemistry between Varun and Janhvi have been highlighted as the film’s major strengths, elements that are sure to resonate strongly with the comfort-seeking OTT audience starting November 27.
