In an age where love is reduced to swipes and screens, Param Sundari dares to remind us of the timeless power of human connection. Tushar Jalota’s directorial venture is not just a film—it’s a heartfelt celebration of romance in its purest form, offering warmth, wit, and a kaleidoscope of emotions.
A Story Rooted in Heart
The plot follows Param (Sidharth Malhotra), a suave Delhi entrepreneur obsessed with creating the perfect matchmaking app. When his father (Sanjay Kapoor), weary of his antics, challenges him to find true love using his own app within a month, Param’s life takes an unexpected turn. Enter Sundari (Janhvi Kapoor), a spirited Malayali woman whose charm, wit, and authenticity cannot be coded into any algorithm.
What begins as a digital encounter soon blossoms into a messy, delightful, and soul-stirring love story—proving that chemistry, timing, and genuine connection can never be manufactured.
Performances that Shine
Sidharth Malhotra is pitch-perfect as Param, blending charisma, humor, and vulnerability with ease. But it is Janhvi Kapoor who delivers the standout performance of her career. Her Sundari is fierce yet tender, nuanced yet relatable—a portrayal that feels lived rather than acted. Together, their crackling chemistry brings the screen alive, evolving from playful banter to deep, heartfelt intimacy.
The supporting cast elevates the narrative—Sanjay Kapoor’s impeccable comic timing brings levity, Manjot Singh adds doses of hilarity, while Inayat Verma steals scenes with her natural charm. Renji Panicker and Siddhartha Shankar add grounded sincerity to Sundari’s world.
Visuals & Music: A Treat for the Senses
From the glossy startup culture of Delhi to the lush landscapes of Kerala’s backwaters, the film is visually rich and emotionally resonant. Costumes speak volumes—Janhvi’s graceful saris and Sidharth’s effortless urban cool perfectly complement their characters.
The music is the film’s heartbeat. With six standout tracks, the soundtrack amplifies every emotional beat. From the playful Pardesiya and the sensual Bheegi Saree to the tender Sunn Mere Yaar Ve and chartbuster title track Sundari Ke Pyar Mein, every song strikes the right chord.
Final Verdict
Produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, Param Sundari is more than a rom-com—it’s a soulful experience that gently nudges us to look beyond algorithms and rediscover the messy, unpredictable, deeply human journey of love.
It doesn’t preach. It makes you feel. And most importantly, it makes you believe in love again.
⭐ Must-watch. Param Sundari is the romance of the year!
