Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra’s “Param Sundari” first look out

Netizens call it “Gen-Z Chennai Express” after watching the teaser.

The official first look of Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in their roles in the upcoming film Param Sundari is finally out. It has left netizens with mixed feelings. Last week, audiences got a pleasant surprise when they went to watch Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s new film Bhool Chuk Maaf. Before the fantasy rom-com began, fans got to exclusively witness the teaser of Sid-Janhvi’s “Param Sundari,” attached to Bhool Chuk Maaf.

Makers of Param Sundari release the teaser.

Clips of the teaser went viral on the internet as soon as the teaser was released by the makers of Param Sundari. Netizens were left gushing over Sidharth’s rock-solid abs and his cute chemistry with Janhvi, a new on-screen pair. The 56-second long teaser of Param Sundari introduces fans to Sidharth Malhotra as the Punjabi Munda Param and the gorgeous Janhvi Kapoor as the South beauty Sundari. Audiences then get to see glimpses of their on-screen romance, shot extensively in Kerala’s beautiful landscapes. However, netizens are divided, with several comparing the upcoming film to the 2013 hit film starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, Chennai Express.

Netizens react to the teaser of Param Sundari.

One internet user predicted, “Let me guess, SM goes to Kerala on a business trip and falls in love with JK, and then they convince their families and get married? Little bit of 2 states and Chennai Express rom-com ingredients.” Another wrote, “GenZ Chennai express. Hehe 😜” A third user wrote, “But I’ve already seen chennai express 🥱” One user opined, “it’s giving chennai express minus the funny part Alsoooo janhvi gets to live her dream w the South Indian character.” One user wrote, “Sad this looks exactly like the kind of movie I’ve been waiting for, but it has Janhvi in it. I just cannot watch her :(.” Whereas another wrote, “Smart move to not include any “acting scenes”. Sid looks really good, though!”
