The festive weekend of Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti 2025 brought a flurry of movie releases to Indian cinemas. Still, all eyes were on two big titles — ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ and ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’. While Rishab Shetty’s action-packed prequel roared at the box office, Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s romantic comedy tried to charm audiences with its desi flavor and nostalgia-filled storytelling.
🎬 Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari Box Office Collection Day 2
After a promising opening day with ₹9 crore, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari witnessed a dip on its second day. As per early estimates, the film managed to earn ₹5.25 crore on Day 2, taking its total box office collection to ₹15 crore in just two days.
Despite facing strong competition from Kantara Chapter 1, the film managed to hold a fair share of the audience, especially in urban multiplexes and family-driven markets.
📊 Occupancy and Audience Response
On Day 2, the movie recorded an overall 18.01% occupancy rate across India.
- Morning shows: 9.06% footfall
- Afternoon shows: 17.44%
- Evening shows: Expected improvement due to weekend crowd
While the numbers aren’t massive, they’re considered steady given the fierce competition at the box office. Trade experts believe the weekend performance will determine whether the film can maintain its pace or fade under Kantara Chapter 1’s dominance.
💬 Critics’ Review & Audience Reaction
According to India Today’s review, the film shines in its writing and witty Bollywood references.
“Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’s strength lies in its writing, peppered with dialogues that wink at iconic Bollywood moments — from SRK’s ‘Chak De India’ monologue to a cheeky ‘Mr. India’ nod. The first half builds up well but the climax feels rushed and less impactful,” the review noted.
Viewers have appreciated the chemistry between Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, and the nostalgic tone that takes inspiration from classic rom-coms of the 90s. However, some felt that the final act could have been more emotional and better paced.
🎥 About the Film
Directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced under Dharma Productions, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari stars Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf. The movie blends glossy visuals, humor, and romance, promising light-hearted entertainment perfect for the festive season.
⚔️ Box Office Clash With Kantara Chapter 1
The biggest challenge for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has been its direct clash with Rishab Shetty’s ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’, which continues to dominate the Indian box office with massive collections and nearly 82% occupancy in major cities.
Trade analysts believe that while Kantara Chapter 1 is a content-driven blockbuster, Sunny Sanskari appeals more to Bollywood loyalists and family audiences, especially in metros.
📅 Outlook Ahead
The film’s Sunday and Monday collections will be crucial in determining its long-term box office run. If it sustains above ₹6 crore on Day 3, it can emerge as a decent festive performer despite the Kantara wave.
⭐ Final Verdict
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari delivers on fun, chemistry, and colorful Bollywood charm but faces an uphill battle against a powerhouse like Kantara Chapter 1. With a solid opening and decent word of mouth, the coming weekend will decide if Varun and Janhvi’s rom-com can hold its ground amid tough competition.
