A strong revival in the romantic comedy genre is indeed heralded by the much-awaited film Param Sundari. After getting audiences excited with two popular songs-Pardesiya and Bheegi Saree- finally came the official trailer, which blew the roof off with all the excitement it was generating among fans.
It follows Param Sachdev, played by Sidharth Malhotra, a charming Delhiite who ends up on a trip to Kerala and runs into Sundari, the spirited dancer performed by Janhvi Kapoor. Their connection shows promise when crossing paths, but as the trailer suggests, cultural differences and misunderstandings add heat and levity to the situation.
Trailer Highlights: Humor and Heartfelt Moments
Playful banter within the confines of a church between Param and Sundari sets up a light, flirtatious tone to begin the trailer. Their chemistry has been set up to lead to some familiar moments with a cinematic nod that could lead to some fun. But Sundari is quick to confront Param with the accusation of emotional manipulation, a key conflict that will drive the film.

A great moment indeed in the climax is Sundari’s severe call-out to Param, saying to him and his friend that both of them “arrogant, entitled and prejudiced North Indians.”
In a humorous turn, she also boasts her knowledge about some classic South Indian film stars like Rajinikanth, Mohanlal, Allu Arjun and Yash, adding a sweet touch of regional pride to their banter.
Audience Reactions Suggests High Anticipation
This trailer speaks to audiences who are looking for a feel-good romantic comedy. Fans have appreciated Janhvi Kapoor’s clever dialogues, with most people admiring how Bollywood has brought back the nostalgic charm of its classic rom-coms.
