Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Film Trails Behind ‘Kantara’ at the Box Office

The clash between Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s film and Rishab Shetty’s ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ is proving costly for the former. Released on October 2nd, the two films went head-to-head. While ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ is experiencing a successful run, ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ starring Varun Dhawan is lagging behind. The competition is particularly tough as ‘Kantara’ is a pan-India film. In the Hindi market, ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ has become a challenge for the team behind ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’. The film’s performance after four days is a cause for concern. The film also features Rohit and Sanya Malhotra in addition to Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, and has received positive reviews. However, it’s not managing to be the first choice for the audience in North India, where ‘Kantara’ dominates. ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ opened with 9.25 crore and earned 7.75 crore on Sunday. The collection dipped on Sunday, which could affect the performance during the weekdays. The film’s budget is estimated to be around 80 crore. ‘Kantara’ has earned 23.5 crore in the Hindi market on its fourth day. It had already made 50 crore in three days. ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ is lagging behind by 44 crore, and needs to earn significantly more to recover its budget. The film’s performance on Monday will be crucial.
