Plot Summary
Param Sundari follows the story of Param, a wealthy young man based in Delhi who invests in startups. While trying out an AI matchmaking app called Soulmates, he is paired with Sundari, a homestay owner in Kerala. Their cultural worlds collide when Param visits her ancestral Tharavad (family home), managed by her uncle, a traditional Kalari Payattu practitioner.
The film tries to explore love across different cultures but often slips into predictable Bollywood rom-com tropes, with more reliance on stereotypes than genuine chemistry.

Reviews & Reception
Critics: Mixed response. While the music and visuals stand out, the storyline and screenplay have been criticized for being shallow and over-reliant on clichés.
Performances: Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor look great together, but their pairing lacks the expected spark. Supporting actors like Manjot Singh and Inayat Verma often steal the show.
Direction: Tushar Jalota presents a vibrant setting but doesn’t allow the leads’ romance to flourish naturally.
Audience Verdict: Entertaining in parts, but fails to capture the emotional intensity expected from a 2025 rom-com.
⭐ Rating: 2.5/5
- Param Sundari has received mixed reactions on X.com—while some praised its star cast, music, and Kerala visuals, others criticized it for lacking a strong storyline and relying on stereotypes. A few even claimed negative reviews were blocked, though no verified evidence supports this.
Maddock didn’t even take a day to remove & block this review on IG. Why—because it spoke against their film? So only sugar-coated takes on Param Sundari are allowed? What kind of PR strategy is this—censoring real opinions just to push ticket sales for a crappy movie!! pic.twitter.com/8bf2vMEuEk

Official Trailer
OTT Release
Amazon Prime Video has bagged the digital streaming rights of Param Sundari. The OTT release date is expected to be announced after its theatrical run.
Final Verdict
Param Sundari had all the ingredients for a blockbuster rom-com — fresh pairing, catchy music, and a vibrant North-South love story. However, despite its ₹60 crore budget and strong opening weekend, the film struggles with clichés and predictable writing. Its box office collection of ₹43.6 crore in 8 days suggests an average run unless word of mouth improves.
Still, for fans of Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, the film offers enough charm, music, and visual appeal to be worth a watch.
