The romantic comedy ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari,’ starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, aims to reignite the genre’s popularity. The film’s narrative revolves around Sunny and Tulsi, portrayed by Dhawan and Kapoor, as they strategize to rekindle their relationships with their former partners. The movie premiered alongside ‘Kantara: Chapter 1,’ creating a competitive theatrical landscape.
‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ began its box office journey with a moderate opening, accumulating around Rs 9.25 crore on its first day. The earnings decreased on the second day to roughly Rs 5.5 crore, reflecting a decline of approximately 40.5%. Nevertheless, the film demonstrated recovery on the third day, with estimated earnings of Rs 7.25 crore. The film’s cumulative gross for the initial three days is approximately Rs 22 crore.
‘Kantara Chapter 1,’ a prequel to the 2022 hit, directed by Rishab Shetty, poses a significant challenge at the box office.
