Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari faces CBFC edits: 60 percent lip-locks trimmed, key words muted

Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s upcoming rom-com Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has officially been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a U/A 13+ rating. The board suggested a few edits before granting final clearance. Reports reveal that the word “guard” was muted in a sequence where Varun’s character tries to spin a slur into something humorous. In addition, lip-lock scenes were trimmed by around 60%, and the makers were asked to include an anti-alcohol disclaimer. With these changes in place, the film’s runtime stands at 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 45 seconds. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the movie also features Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul, Akshay Oberoi, and Abhinav Sharma in pivotal roles.

Trailer Buzz and Promotions

The film has already created a buzz on the promotional circuit. During the trailer launch in Mumbai on September 15, Sanya Malhotra’s absence was humorously acknowledged with a life-size cutout of the actress on stage, leaving the audience amused. The trailer itself has sparked excitement among fans, hinting at a lighthearted story with a mix of comedy, romance, and festive vibes. Social media chatter suggests that viewers are curious to see the chemistry between Varun, Janhvi, and the ensemble cast, making the film a highly anticipated release for this holiday season.

Advance Bookings, Competition, and Expectations

Advance ticket bookings for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari are off to a steady start. By Monday, approximately 9,200 tickets had already been sold across major chains. Trade experts predict that numbers could reach 50,000 tickets before the release, with opening weekend collections estimated between Rs 10.50–12.50 crore. The film is set to hit theatres on October 2, coinciding with the Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti holidays. However, it faces stiff competition from Rishabh Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1, which could influence how single-screen exhibitors schedule shows. Much will depend on the holiday audience response, and the festive timing could work in its favor if word-of-mouth is strong.

With its colorful promotions, a catchy trailer, and a strong star cast, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari looks set to bring fun and laughter to audiences this long weekend. Whether it manages to edge past the competition will be seen once the film hits theatres, but early buzz suggests that fans are in for a cheerful ride.
