Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s romantic drama, ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari,’ edges close to Rs 45 crore in 9 days. With stiff box office competition, can the film cross Rs 50 crore, or will upcoming releases overshadow it?
‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ was released on 2 October
Mumbai: Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s romantic comedy ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ continues its slow journey at the box office. The film, directed by Shashank Khaitan and backed by Dharma Productions, earned Rs 2 crore on its second Friday, taking its 9-day total to Rs 43.10 crore in India.
Released on October 2, 2025, the film has struggled to break the Rs 50 crore mark, despite receiving positive word of mouth from critics and audiences. Industry analysts suggest that competition from Rishab Shetty’s ‘Kantara Chapter 1’, which has already crossed Rs 100 crore in Hindi, may have affected its growth.

The film’s day-wise net collections reflect a steady decline:
Day 1 (Thursday): Rs 9.25 Cr
Day 2 (Friday): Rs 5.5 Cr
Day 3 (Saturday): Rs 7.5 Cr
Day 4 (Sunday): Rs 7.75 Cr
Day 5 (Monday): Rs 3.25 Cr
Day 6 (Tuesday): Rs 3.25 Cr
Day 7 (Wednesday): Rs 2.35 Cr
Day 8 (Thursday): Rs 2.25 Cr
Day 9 (Friday): Rs 2 Cr
Film’s total 9-day collection is Rs 43.10 crore
With its current trajectory, the film is expected to close its lifetime collection between Rs 50 crore and Rs 60 crore in India.
The film revolves around Sunny (Varun Dhawan) and Tulsi (Janhvi Kapoor), who team up to make their ex-partners jealous during an elaborate wedding in Udaipur. While Sunny initially hopes to win back his girlfriend Ananya (Sanya Malhotra), he gradually develops feelings for Tulsi, leading to humorous misadventures and emotional moments.
In the end, after a series of misunderstandings and heartfelt confessions, Sunny and Tulsi finally unite, proving that love can triumph over societal pressures and family expectations.

Industry experts believe the film’s box office potential may be limited by competition. With no major releases in the immediate week, it still has a chance to gain momentum before the Diwali releases of Ayushmann Khurrana–Rashmika Mandanna’s ‘Thamma’ and Harshvardhan Rane–Sonam Bajwa’s ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ hitting theatres on October 21, 2025.
Looking ahead, Varun Dhawan will appear in ‘Border 2’ and ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ in 2026, while Janhvi Kapoor is set to feature in ‘Peddi’ alongside Ram Charan.
While ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ has not delivered blockbuster numbers, its charming storyline, strong performances, and positive audience feedback indicate that it may still reach respectable lifetime collections. With the upcoming festive releases, however, the film’s momentum will be closely watched in the next few weeks.
