‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ review
With a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, an excerpt from our review states, “The first half breezes by with hilarious moments, largely thanks to Sunny and Tulsi’s antics and the witty banter between Sunny’s buddy Bantu (Abhinav Sharma) and the goofy wedding planner, Kuku (Maniesh Paul). However, while there are still comic sequences that land well, the overall pacing dips after the interval. The editing by Manan Sagar and Charu Shree Roy feels uneven in parts, particularly during the jungle safari sequence and a few flashback scenes. Similarly, the portrayal of Vikram’s snobbish family and the cracks beneath their seemingly perfect façade come across as a little forced and underdeveloped.” Go to Source
