After a strong start at the box office over the weekend, Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan’s latest romantic comedy, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, witnessed a noticeable dip in collections on its first Monday. The film, which opened to positive audience reactions and decent critical reviews, seems to be feeling the weekday pressure after an impressive opening run.
According to early trade estimates, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari collected around ₹4–5 crore on Day 5, bringing its total domestic box office figure to approximately ₹42–43 crore. The drop from Sunday’s numbers was expected, as weekdays typically see a decline in footfalls. However, trade analysts believe that the film’s performance on Tuesday and Wednesday will be crucial in determining its long-term box office trajectory.
Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the film brings together Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in a fresh pairing that has been praised for its on-screen chemistry and energetic performances. The narrative combines elements of humor, family drama, and romance, offering a blend of emotion and entertainment that appeals to a wide audience base.
Despite facing competition from other ongoing releases, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari managed to maintain steady momentum over the weekend due to strong word of mouth, especially among younger audiences. The film’s catchy music and colorful visuals have also played a role in drawing crowds to theatres.
However, with Monday’s drop, the film now needs to hold firm through the week to ensure a solid first-week total. Trade experts note that sustaining above the ₹3 crore mark during weekdays would help the movie remain in a comfortable zone before the arrival of new releases next weekend.
If the film continues to perform consistently, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari could emerge as one of the more successful romantic comedies of 2025 — reaffirming Varun Dhawan’s crowd-puller status and Janhvi Kapoor’s growing presence as a leading Bollywood star.
