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.

## Final Sunny Sanskari Box Office Collection Numbers

## 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?

Both Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor fans will be hoping their next outings deliver a stronger box office story.
