Bollywood is tapping into the golden era of rom-coms once again, and leading the charge this time are Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in the much-anticipated film 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari'. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the upcoming entertainer looks like a spirited throwback to the breezy love stories of the early 2000s, with a fresh twist and a whole lot of fun.
The recently dropped trailer has caught fire on the internet, sparking excitement for a full-blown cinematic celebration of love, chaos, and laughter.
A New-Age Love Story with Old-School Flavour
While the film’s title and teaser hinted at a classic romantic triangle, the trailer flips the narrative. Janhvi and Varun’s characters aren’t in the throes of new love — they’re nursing broken hearts. Their former flames, played by Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf, are set to marry each other, which propels the lead pair into a hilarious and outrageous plan: pretend to fall in love in a bid to win their exes back.
The film’s quirky energy echoes Khaitan’s directorial debut 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania', but this time, the emotional stakes and comic beats are turned up a notch, minus Alia Bhatt, but with a whole lot of Govinda vibes.
Fan reactions
Fans are already raving about Varun’s impeccable comic timing. One fan commented, “2:31 ‘Mohabbatpe nahi haikisi ka kaboo..... pakchikpak raja babu’ was hilarious 😂🤣,” while another echoed, “2:32 - Mohabbatpe nahi haikisi ka Kaboo... Pak chikpak.. raja babu....🤣.”
A viewer summed up the trailer buzz perfectly: “This trailer screams BLOCKBUSTER vibes 🔥 Varun + Janhvi + Rohit + Sanya = Perfect entertainment package.” Another added, “Varun Dhawan is back in his Prime Mode❤.”
