SSKTK Runtime Locked! It's Official: Varun and Janhvi Bring Back the Dulhania Magic!

Friday Sep 26, 2025

In a major exclusive update that is set to electrify Bollywood fans, the runtime for Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's highly anticipated romantic-comedy, 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari', has been officially locked.

 

Sources close to the production confirm the film will have a crisp run time, clocking in at approximately 2 hours and 24 minutes (144 minutes). This length is perfectly tailored for a fast-paced, entertaining romantic comedy, ensuring the film remains engaging and high on rewatch value, a key characteristic of director Shashank Khaitan's previous hits.

 

 

The 'Dulhania' DNA: Why the Comparison Works

 

While director Shashank Khaitan has clarified that 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' is a standalone film and not a direct part of the 'Dulhania' franchise (Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania), the comparisons are inevitable—and by design.

 

The exclusive runtime, combined with the film's core themes, strongly suggests it is the spiritual successor to the beloved Varun Dhawan-led franchise:

 

• The Sweet Spot Runtime (2h 24m): The length is nearly identical to the original Dulhania films, a proven duration for keeping audiences glued to a festive-release rom-com.
• Shashank Khaitan's Signature: The film boasts Khaitan’s trademark blend of small-town charm, elaborate North Indian wedding settings, family drama, and genuinely funny, relatable humour.
• The Lead Pair Chemistry: Just as Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan's chemistry defined the Dulhania series, the fresh yet proven pairing of Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor promises the required spark for a new-age love story.

 

 

What to Expect: Revenge, Romance, and a Festive Clash

 

The trailer for 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' has already set the stage for a convoluted love quadrangle. Varun (Sunny) and Janhvi (Tulsi) team up to enact 'revenge' on their respective exes (played by Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf) by faking a relationship—a classic Bollywood trope guaranteed to spiral into chaos and unexpected romance.

 

With its grand production scale and ensemble cast, the film is poised to be the quintessential feel-good family entertainer of the festive season. The release is strategically set for October 2nd, 2025, a massive Dussehra weekend release.

 

Despite facing a major box office clash with the much-anticipated Kannada epic 'Kantara: Chapter 1', Varun Dhawan has expressed confidence, stating that there is enough room for both films to succeed given their distinct genres.

 

Summary: A Must-Watch Rom-Com

 

The locked runtime of 2 hours and 24 minutes confirms that this Dharma Productions offering is a tight, polished cinematic experience. Fans craving the fun, festive energy of the Dulhania world can confidently book their tickets, as 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' promises to deliver high-octane entertainment with a perfect balance of laughs, tears, and a whole lot of sanskari drama.
