Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s latest release, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (SSKTK), entered theatres amid high expectations and festive buzz. Backed by Dharma Productions, the film promised a mix of fun, romance, and emotions. While the holiday start gave it an edge, the movie’s overall performance through the weekend tells a mixed story. Let’s dive into how Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari fared over its extended weekend at the box office.
A Festive Start With Hopes High
Releasing on the festive occasions of Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti, the film managed to pull audiences initially. The Varun Dhawan–Janhvi Kapoor pairing added freshness, while the lighthearted tone resonated well with the family crowd. However, the presence of a strong competitor like Kantara Chapter 1 in Hindi took a major chunk of the audience, especially in mass circuits.
Despite that, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari managed to sustain decent numbers during its opening days, thanks to the festive advantage and youth-centric appeal.
Weekend Trend And Audience Response
As the weekend progressed, the film’s performance fluctuated. Friday saw a dip due to the working day effect, but Saturday brought a marginal rise. However, the film couldn’t break into double digits through the weekend — a clear sign that Kantara Chapter 1’s dominance affected its business.
Audience reviews have been a mix. While many appreciated Varun Dhawan’s charm and Janhvi Kapoor’s emotional portrayal, some found the narrative predictable. Still, the family-friendly nature and romantic comedy genre ensured steady footfalls in metro areas.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (SSKTK) Day 4 Box Office Collection
By the end of Sunday, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari wrapped up its extended weekend on a mediocre note. The film showed a slight growth on Sunday compared to Saturday, but stayed below expectations considering the festive season. On Day 4, SSKTK collected Rs 8.20 crore.
Overall, the extended four-day weekend total stands at Rs 32.12 crore nett in India. The numbers aren’t poor, but given the scale of production and star power, the film was expected to perform stronger.
The Road Ahead: Can The BOGO Offer Help SSKTK?
To maintain momentum during weekdays, the makers have rolled out a Buy 1 Get 1 Free ticket offer. This could potentially help SSKTK attract more footfall, especially among youth and couples looking for light-hearted entertainment post-festive rush.
However, sustaining in front of Kantara Chapter 1’s roaring success won’t be easy. The upcoming weekdays will determine whether Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari manages to cross a respectable first-week total or fades out faster than expected.
Final Verdict
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari had a promising concept and an appealing cast, but its box office journey has been modest so far. Despite a festive release and good word of mouth in parts, the film needs strong weekday holds to emerge as a clean hit.
The coming days are crucial — if the BOGO offer works and the family audience continues to show up, it could steady its pace. But for now, the film’s box office performance can best be described as average with potential.
