It’s always a little bittersweet when a film with so much charm fails to find its full audience at the box office. That’s exactly the story of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari — a fun, frothy romantic comedy that simply couldn’t break through a tough theatrical environment. Here’s the complete breakdown of the Sunny Sanskari box office collection and what went wrong.

The Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor starrer produced by Dharma Productions concluded its theatrical run with the following numbers:

| Week 2 India Nett | Rs. 13.75 crore |

Why Did the Film Underperform?
Honestly, the film had a lot going for it — two popular stars, a breezy premise, and solid urban appeal. But the Sunny Sanskari box office collection was hampered by a combination of factors that proved too much to overcome.
The biggest blow was its release timing — it clashed directly with Kantara: Chapter 1, which was a far more mass-appealing film and left little breathing room for a lighter romantic comedy. Add to that mixed word-of-mouth and a failure to connect with audiences outside urban centres, and the film simply couldn’t build the momentum it needed.
The broader problem is that the rom-com genre is struggling post-pandemic. With an 8-week OTT window, a significant chunk of the audience is perfectly happy waiting to watch at home — and that’s precisely the kind of film where streaming patience kicks in the most.

Is Sunny Sanskari a Hit or Flop?
Given its production and marketing budget under the Dharma banner, a Rs. 92 crore worldwide gross on a mid-scale romantic comedy is widely considered a below-average performance — not a complete disaster, but certainly short of expectations. Both Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor fans will be hoping their next outings deliver a stronger box office story.
