The only verdict is that both the “rom” and the “com” in this romcom are grossly undercooked. You can enjoy it if you don't need spice or robust flavours or when there is nothing else to have

Where is the romance or comedy in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari?

About 20 minutes into Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi Kumari, I was admiring Janhvi Kapoor's wardrobe choices. How lovely did she look in her glittery bustier-lehenga combo! From where could you shop her Rajasthani-print shrug casually thrown over denims and a tank top? I also loved the pink and peach lipstick shades that accentuated her pout. Then there was her breathtaking all-gold slinky sari - a difficult style to pull off but an amazing addition to any stylista's wardrobe. And just what makeup wizardry does one need to get those stunning smokey eyes?

Focus...focus... I reminded myself as the story unfolded on screen. And for a while, I did. But soon I was distracted by the ostentatious sets of the Udaipur resort where the lead characters play out their fantasies. But when, as a viewer, your attention keeps drifting to the peripheries like the sets, costumes or the spectacle, it doesn't say much about the film's core content.

Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi Kumari belongs to that category what I call, the 'nothing' cinema. There is nothing deep about its romance. There is nothing outrageously funny about its comedy. There is nothing painful about its conflict. And there is nothing too offensive about it either to complain or rant about. The only verdict is that both the "rom" and the "com" in this romcom are grossly undercooked. You can enjoy it if you don't need spice or robust flavours or when there is nothing else to have.
