Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari Box Office Collection: Bollywood star Varun Dhawan reventured to the rom-com genre with Sunny Sanksari Ki Tulsi Kumari, directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Dharma Productions. The film starring Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf was billed to repeat the wonders of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania. Nonetheless, the initial box office figures show that the movie fails to make a splash in India and abroad.

During this initial period of three days, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari earned approximately 22 crores in India. The movie started off averagely with ₹9.25 crore on the first day, dropped to ₹5.5 crore on the second day, and recorded a slight increase of 7.25 crore on the third day.
Day-wise breakdown (India):
- Day 1 (Thursday, Oct 2): ₹9.25 crore
- Day 2 (Friday): ₹5.5 crore
- Day 3 (Saturday): ₹7.25 crore
- Total (3 Days): ₹22 crore
The weekend trend suggests the film’s momentum may rely heavily on word-of-mouth and weekday performance.
North America Box Office Collection
In North America, the film’s performance has been underwhelming. Over three days, it earned just USD $173,000.
- Day 1: $24,000
- Day 2: $63,000
- Day 3: $86,000
The rom-com genre, which often appeals to Indian audiences abroad, hasn’t managed to bring strong footfalls this time.
Clash with Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1
The strong competition with Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 by Rishab Shetty is one of the most significant factors that prevent the success of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. The Kannada blockbuster sequel has earned ₹163.85 crore in India and $1.95 million in North America and is the 11th-highest grossing film of 2025.
The immense fame of Kantara has dimmed the light of the Varun Dhawan film in the domestic and foreign markets.
Critical and Audience Response
Critics and audiences have reacted mixedly to the film. Some found the light-hearted rom-com taste and the chemistry between Varun and Janhvi to be satisfying, but others felt like the plot could have been more predictable and less powerful than in the past Shashank Khaitan films.
The total occupancy in Hindi markets on Day 3 was approximately 22.72, and more mixed evening shows were attended.
Recent Box Office Flops by Varun Dhawan
In recent years, Varun Dhawan has found it difficult to achieve the same mass connect which he enjoyed with movies like Main Tera Hero and Badlapur. His new ventures such as Citadel: Honey Bunny and Baby John did not do as well. He tried to go back to his comfort zone with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari but collections indicate that the show was not able to attract the audience as much as his previous hits.
Conclusion
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari can still recover in the next few days provided good word of mouth can keep the footfalls going, but a big obstacle is Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1. The film showed ₹22 crore in India and $173K in North America in three days alone, so it has a lot to climb before it can be considered a hit.
Only whether this rom-com will pass or fail to pass the ₹40 crore threshold will determine its ultimate box office verdict.
