Varun, Janhvi's 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' registers a bumper opening at box office

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari earns ₹10.11 crore on opening day boosted by Dussehra-Gandhi Jayanti holiday despite Kantara competition.

"Gathered momentum as the day progressed, with strong spot bookings pushing it into double digits - Taran Adarsh"

Mumbai, October 3

The National Holiday on October 2 has played a crucial role in giving a strong start to Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's latest film, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.

Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the film registered a bumper opening at the box office, minting Rs 10.11 cr.

Sharing Day 1 collection of 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari', trade analyst Taran Adarsh on X wrote, "#SunnySanskariKiTulsiKumari opened on expected lines on Thursday... Gathered momentum as the day progressed, with strong spot bookings pushing it into double digits - aided by the #Dussehra - #GandhiJayanti holiday."

However, he added that the film's business has faced some impact due to the strong performance of Kantara: Chapter 1, particularly outside metro areas and across South India.

"#SSKTK's business has been impacted by #KantaraChapter1, particularly *beyond the metros* and across #SouthIndia. The film now needs to register solid gains on Saturday and Sunday to post a respectable *extended weekend* total. #SunnySanskariKiTulsiKumari [Week 1] Thu Rs 10.11 cr. #India biz | Official Nett BOC | #Boxoffice," Adarsh noted.

'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari', which also stars Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf, has been facing a box office clash with Rishab Shetty's 'Kantara: Chapter 1'. Though the strong performance of 'Kantara: Chapter 1' has slightly impacted the box office numbers of Varun's film, both releases continue to attract audiences to theatres.

Recently, in an interview with ANI, Varun opened up about his experience working in the film.

He shared, "I have a lot of memories. We were shooting for 'Panwadi' and 'Bijuria'. There is a scene where Maniesh Paul, I, Janhvi, Rohit Saraf, Sanya Malhotra, and the entire cast are together. And there is a scene in the garden....We were all so happy with our acting that we used to laugh in between. Aur Janhvi ki eb baar hansi chut jaaye to fir vo chalti rehrti thi jab tak Shashank (Khaitan) daant na de. And he scolded all of us. Because we were behaving like kids, but that scene is my favourite scene of the film....I think the whole cast has a lot of fun when they're together."

Maniesh Paul also plays a key role in the film, adding to the vibrant ensemble cast.

₹10.11 crore opening is decent but Kantara Chapter 1 is definitely giving tough competition. Both films releasing together was bad planning by producers. Should have spaced them out.

The holiday definitely helped! Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra falling together gave families time to watch movies. Good to see theatres getting crowded again after pandemic years 🎬

While the opening is good, I feel the film relies too much on star power. The story seems predictable from the trailer. Hope the weekend collections improve with positive word-of-mouth.

Maniesh Paul is the hidden gem in this film! His comic timing is always perfect. Planning to watch it this weekend with family. Hope it lives up to the hype!

Double digits opening despite Kantara competition is impressive! Shows Varun Dhawan still has that box office pull. The cast seems to have had so much fun during shooting, which reflects on screen 😊
