Param Sundari review
Param Sundari marks the first on-screen collaboration between Sidharth and Janhvi. The story explores a quirky love tale between a Punjabi munda and a Kerala girl, filled with comedy, chaos, and romance.
The Free Press Journal's review of the film read, "The biggest problem with Param Sundari is the chemistry between Sidharth and Janhvi. There's no spark between them that we would want to see in the lead pair of a romantic comedy. Overall, Param Sundari is visually a very sundar film. But, not-so-great performances and cliches just ruin this rom-com."
