Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (SSKTK)is slowly finding its rhythm at the box office. The romantic entertainer had a decent start on Thursday, followed by a dip on Friday. However, Saturday brought some relief as the numbers picked up again.
Directed by Shashank Khaitan, SSKTK is a colorful family entertainer that blends emotions, romance, and humor. The film continues to attract the urban audience, especially in multiplexes, while facing strong competition from Kantara Chapter 1.
Fighting The Clash Like A True Sanskari Hero
The competition this week has been fierce. Kantara Chapter 1 is dominating in the Hindi market, which has impacted Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’s overall numbers. Yet, the film has managed to hold its ground thanks to Varun Dhawan’s charm and the festive weekend advantage.
Despite not touching double digits on Saturday, SSKTK showed growth compared to Friday — and that’s a sign of positive word of mouth. The family-friendly tone of the film, combined with festive vibes and catchy music, is helping it attract audiences looking for something lighthearted.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari saw an upward trend on its third day, which is Saturday. After a drop on Day 2, the film picked up pace again, though it couldn’t cross the double-digit mark.
SSKTK collected Rs 7.80 crore on Day 3, taking its total to Rs 23.92 crore nett in India. The upward movement has given the makers hope that Sunday will be stronger, potentially leading to a decent first extended weekend total.
Word Of Mouth Slowly Building
The audience reactions are mixed to positive. Many viewers are calling SSKTK a “fun, feel-good film” that’s easy to watch with family. The chemistry between Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor is being appreciated, while Rohit Saraf and Sanya Malhotra add charm to the ensemble.
The movie’s music and festive mood have connected with the youth and family crowd alike. However, Kantara Chapter 1’s strong hold in the Hindi market is still affecting the overall footfall for SSKTK.
Sunday Crucial For The Film’s Momentum
Sunday will play a major role in determining where Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari stands by the end of its extended weekend. If the film manages a good jump, it could close its first weekend on a respectable note.
With no big releases lined up next week, the film still has room to grow. The key now is to maintain steady footfalls through the week. A strong hold on Monday would confirm that the audience has accepted the film beyond the festive rush.
Final Verdict
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is showing slow but steady progress. The film hasn’t exploded at the box office yet, but it’s holding its ground despite tough competition. With Varun Dhawan’s screen presence, Janhvi Kapoor’s charm, and some catchy music, SSKTK could still turn things around with a solid Sunday and decent weekday trend.
