‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ advance box office: The Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor film expected to open at Rs 10-12 crore | Hindi Movie News

Varun Dhawan is gearing up for his big-screen comeback with ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’, a Shashank Khaitan directorial that pairs him opposite Janhvi Kapoor. The romantic comedy follows Dhawan’s action outing Baby John and is positioned as Dharma Productions’ next family entertainer.The advance sales have been steady but not spectacular, with roughly 10529 tickets booked across the country, according to Sacnilk. PVR Inox contributed the lion’s share with close to 7,500 bookings, while Cinepolis added another 1,700. With two full days before release, trade circles estimate that pre-sales could climb to the 50,000-mark by Friday, according to Pinkvilla. The film is expected to open ₹10.50 crore and ₹12.50 crore, hinging on last-minute spot bookings and audience feedback once shows begin. Analysts stress that its reception will play a pivotal role not only in Varun Dhawan’s current streak but also in shaping Dharma’s run of traditional entertainers.Post-pandemic shifts in audience taste have made predictions cautious. Still, the industry consensus is that Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has room to grow: if the narrative connects, evening and night shows should witness stronger turnout.The film also boasts a supporting cast of Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, and Maniesh Paul. However, it enters cinemas alongside heavy competition, Rishab Shetty’s much-hyped ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’. Early tracking suggests the Kannada star’s pan-India epic is leading in advance bookings, giving it a head start. ‘Sunny Sanskari..’ is directed by Shashank Khaitan who has earlier made movies like ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’, ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’, ‘Dhadak’ among others.
