Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari trailer: Varun-Janhvi bring a modern twist to Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha-style romance
‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ trailer: Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor light up Shashank Khaitan’s vibrant rom-com, offering a modern spin on the 1998 classic ‘Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha’
The trailer for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari was unveiled on Monday in Mumbai, introducing a colourful romantic comedy filled with drama, humour, and plenty of twists. Starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, the film revolves around two individuals who team up to sabotage the weddings of their exes — played by Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf. What starts as a mischievous plot soon spirals into a whirlwind of confusion, fake romance, and unexpected emotional entanglements, all unfolding amid the backdrop of a big Indian wedding.
Directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, the film appears to follow the classic Bollywood template — high on glam, emotions, catchy one-liners, and family drama. The trailer gives a taste of the quirky dynamic between Varun and Janhvi’s characters, including a humorous exchange about who is “more middle-class.” It also ends with a nostalgic reference to a famous Govinda dialogue, adding to the film's light-hearted tone.
The plot shares similarities with the 1998 hit Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha, in which two characters pretend to be in love to win back their former partners, only to fall for each other in the process. With that familiar rom-com foundation, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari aims to deliver a fresh, modern twist through its vibrant characters and wedding-themed setting.
Scheduled to release on October 2, just in time for the Dussehra holiday, the film is positioned as a major festive release. With its star-studded cast, vibrant cinematography, and a mix of romance and comedy, it aims to be a crowd-pleaser for family audiences.
Whether it’s the over-the-top wedding chaos, cheeky banter, or emotional moments hidden beneath the humour, the film promises to offer something for everyone. As a quintessential Dharma rom-com, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari looks ready to tick all the boxes for those looking for a light, festive entertainer this season.
