Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, released in theatres on October 2nd, coinciding with the celebrations of Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti. The pair previously collaborated on Bawaal. This film also features Rohit Saraf and Sanya Malhotra and is directed by Shashank Khaitan. As a romantic comedy, it was anticipated to have a moderate opening and may experience an increase in viewership due to positive word of mouth. Its release also coincided with Rishab Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1, thus naturally leading to competition.
