Varun Dhawan's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has seen a slow trend at the Box Office in India, but the movie has picked up overseas. In fact, the movie is now Varun Dhawan's highest grossing film worldwide. Trade experts have released figures which suggest that the movie performed better outside India than it did within the country.
Trade analyst Joginder Tuteja shared the global Box Office numbers of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, and has given the verdict that it is Varun Dhawan's highest-grossing film outside of India. The movie, which released alongside the Kannada film Kantara: Chapter 1, has performed better overseas even within the first week.
According to the numbers shared, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari earned USD 1.75 million (Rs. 15.6 crore) in the first week. The film has performed particularly well in North America, which is also where Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie Part 1 - Akaza's Return performed second-best after Japanese Box Office. Interestingly, the news of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari's high performance in North America comes in the midst of American PM Donald R. Trump declaring 100% tariff on the release of foreign films in the country.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari also performed better than Sidharth Malhotra-Janhvi Kapoor's Param Sundari (out on OTT through rent on Amazon Prime Video) in UK, UAE and Australia, all within week 1.

In comparison, Varun Dhawan-Janhvi Kapoor's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari earned Rs. 44 crore in the Indian market within the first week. The movie has not even crossed Rs. 50 crore mark, which has otherwise been the norm with other Hindi films. The biggest reason for the same is touted to be the Box Office clash with Kantara: Chapter 1.
