Romance lovers, hold your hearts—because you’ll have to wait a little longer to catch Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s dreamy on-screen chemistry in Param Sundari. The film, which was earlier slated to release on July 25, has now officially hit the pause button on that date. And no, it’s not just to avoid Son of Sardaar 2.
Why the Sudden Delay?
According to inside sources (and trust us, they’re pretty reliable), the makers of Param Sundari decided to play it smart rather than rush into a battle zone. The release calendar this season is packed with love stories. We’re talking about Anurag Basu’s Metro…In Dino and Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara—both releasing around the same time.
Add to that Dhadak 2 landing in theatres on August 1, and you’ve got a full-blown rom-com pile-up. Rather than getting lost in the mushy traffic, the team behind Param Sundari is looking for a cleaner runway—and we’re not mad at it.
A source close to the production spilled, “Param Sundari has its own identity. It’s not just another love story. It has heart, culture, and a fresh pairing. They didn’t want it to be drowned in the noise of back-to-back romantic dramas.” And honestly, fair point.
The New Release Window
So, when are we finally getting to see the film?
Word is that the team is eyeing either August 29 or September 5 for the release. Both dates offer breathing space and a better shot at grabbing the audience’s attention. Plus, it gives the makers some time to add that little extra sparkle to the film’s promo game.
We also hear that there’s a brand-new song being shot soon—yes, you heard that right! One more chance to see Sidharth groove on-screen. But they’re waiting for him to wrap up his current commitments and—surprise twist—settle into his new role as a dad! Yep, Papa Sid is happening in real life too.
What’s Param Sundari About Anyway?
If you’re imagining just another typical Bollywood love story, pump the brakes. Param Sundari, directed by Tushar Jalota (yep, the same guy who gave us Dasvi), brings a cross-cultural romance that tugs at the heartstrings.
The story dives into the relationship between a North Indian guy (played by Sidharth) and a South Indian girl (played by Janhvi), exploring not just their love but also their clashes, compromises, and the magic of coming together despite differences.
Produced by Maddock Films, the movie promises their signature style—feel-good, emotional storytelling with a modern twist. Plus, with Sid and Janhvi sharing screen space for the first time, fans are eager to see the chemistry between this fresh duo.
Why the Delay Might Actually Help
Let’s be real—romantic dramas need their moment to shine. In a cluttered release window, films tend to cancel each other out. And with so many star-studded love sagas lining up back-to-back, Param Sundari could have easily been that movie you meant to watch but never got around to.
By waiting a few extra weeks, the makers are giving the film its own spotlight. And judging by the buzz (and Sid-Janhvi fan edits already floating around), people are more than willing to wait for a good love story.
Besides, the promotional break also gives them time to fine-tune the marketing, drop a killer new song, and maybe even release more behind-the-scenes moments to keep the buzz alive.
Jay-Ho! Spotlight Moment
While it’s always a bummer when a movie you’re excited about gets pushed back, in this case, the delay feels like a strategic win. Instead of throwing Param Sundari into a rom-com battlefield, the team is setting it up for a clean run—and we’re betting that’ll make all the difference.
So mark your calendars for late August or early September, because Sidharth and Janhvi’s romance is coming in hot—just not in a rush.
Can’t wait? Neither can we. Until then, keep the playlists on shuffle, the popcorn ready, and let’s manifest some Param Sundari magic real soon.
