The first week of October is set for a clash between Kantara: Chapter 1 and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Even before release, screen-sharing disputes have sparked controversy, with criticism directed largely at one side of the competition.
Reports suggest that the makers of Kantara want maximum showcasing without sharing screens with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, especially in single screens and multiplexes with limited capacity. Backed by Hombale Films, they hope to outdo the first part’s success in the Hindi market.
This demand has raised concerns for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Observers recall that Hombale Films faced similar criticism in 2023 during the Dunki and Salaar clash. Netizens argue the new film deserves a fair chance if its content connects with audiences.
Social media discussions suggest that Kantara’s aggressive push stems from low buzz in the Hindi belt. The trailer for the prequel has received mixed reactions, with many feeling it lacks impact. Some allege the team is trying to secure dominance by limiting competition.
Others point out that Karan Johar’s recent films have underperformed, and this clash may turn into another test of audience trust. With advance bookings yet to open in North India and release day nearing, fans are waiting to see how this standoff unfolds.
