The trailer for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari dropped like a festive firecracker, lighting up social media with its vibrant energy and classic Bollywood charm. Starring the ever-charismatic Varun Dhawan and the radiant Janhvi Kapoor, this Shashank Khaitan directorial promises a whirlwind of emotions wrapped in laughter. Produced by Dharma Productions, the film feels like a nostalgic nod to the golden era of rom-coms, especially echoing the playful deceptions and heartfelt twists of the iconic Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha. Set against a backdrop of colorful weddings and family drama, it's all about fake love turning real, and fans are already hooked.

A Plot Packed with Pretend Love and Ex Drama

At its core, the story revolves around two heartbroken souls, Sunny (Varun Dhawan) and Tulsi (Janhvi Kapoor), who decide to fake a relationship to win back their respective exes. Sunny's over-the-top proposal to Ananya (Sanya Malhotra), complete with Baahubali-style theatrics, goes hilariously wrong when she's unimpressed. Meanwhile, Tulsi's split from Vikram (Rohit Saraf) leaves her plotting revenge. To up the ante, the exes' families arrange their wedding, forcing Sunny and Tulsi into an elaborate charade.

The trailer captures this chaos with witty banter, like the duo arguing over who's more "middle-class" – Sunny quips, "Tu middle-class nahi, lower middle-class hai!" – while flaunting their pretend romance on social media. What starts as a scheme to stir jealousy soon blossoms into genuine sparks, blending deception with unexpected affection. It's a fresh take on the trope of arranged versus love marriages, infused with modern twists like online showboating and nightclub mix-ups.

Echoes of Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha in a Modern Twist

Fans can't help but draw parallels to Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha, the 1998 hit where misunderstandings and fake affections lead to true love amid comedic mishaps. Shashank Khaitan, known for his knack with feel-good romances, seems to channel that spirit here, but with a colorful, contemporary vibe. References to classic films like Raja Babu pop up in Sunny's poetic attempts at wooing, adding layers of meta-humor. The trailer's high-energy dance sequences and family confrontations promise the same blend of drama and delight that made the earlier film a staple.

This isn't just a remake; it's an evolution. While the original thrived on 90s nostalgia, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari amps up the visual spectacle with vibrant costumes, lively songs like a remixed "Bijuria," and a supporting cast including Maniesh Paul and Akshay Oberoi for extra comic relief. The film's title itself hints at the sanskari (traditional) Sunny clashing with the kumari (pure) Tulsi in hilarious ways, much like the cultural clashes in its predecessor.

The Star Power and Behind-the-Scenes Buzz

Varun Dhawan slips back into his rom-com groove effortlessly, channeling the boy-next-door energy from his Dulhania days. Janhvi Kapoor, marking her third outing with Khaitan after Dhadak, brings a mix of innocence and sass that lights up the screen. Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf as the elusive exes add depth, turning what could be a simple revenge plot into a four-way emotional tangle.

Directed by Shashank Khaitan, who's no stranger to the Dulhania franchise (having helmed Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania), the film is backed by Karan Johar and a powerhouse production team. Slated for a Dussehra release on October 2, 2025, it's poised to be a family entertainer that celebrates love's unpredictable journey.

In a world craving light-hearted escapes, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari delivers just that – a riot of colors, laughs, and heart. If the trailer is any indication, this rom-com could well be the festive treat Bollywood needed.
