  • Kantara Hindi Dub Set To Outshine Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

    Kantara Hindi Dub Set To Outshine Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

    This Dussehra, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is the only Hindi film releasing in theatres. The romantic comedy stars Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf. However, it faces competition from the Kannada film Kantara Chapter 1, which is releasing its Hindi dub on the same day.

    The original Kantara was a huge hit in the Hindi belt, earning ₹84 crore in 2022. The prequel has generated great buzz and is showing strong ticket sales. By Monday noon, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari sold around 9,000 tickets in advance, collecting ₹29.32 lakh. Meanwhile, Kantara Chapter 1 Hindi dub already sold over 11,000 tickets, collecting ₹33 lakh, outperforming the Bollywood rom-com even before release.

    With only a few screens open for Kantara so far, experts believe the Hindi dub will gain momentum and likely beat Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari at the box office.

    About the Films:

    • Kantara Chapter 1: Directed by Rishab Shetty, set 1,000 years before the original, starring Rishab Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth, Jayaram, and Gulshan Devaiah.
    • Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari: A rom-com about ex-lovers, starring Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul, and Akshay Oberoi.

    Netflix’s new period drama House of Guinness, created by Steven Knight (the mastermind behind Peaky Blinders), premiered on September 25. The eight-episode series follows the lives of Sir Benjamin Guinness’s four adult children—Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben—after his death.

    Steven Knight Hints at Season 2

    While Netflix hasn’t officially confirmed season 2, creator Steven Knight has dropped strong hints. He shared in interviews that he wants the story to continue into the 20th century. At a screening in Dublin, he told fans:
    “Yes, of course. We are going to do seasons two, and three, and four. Yes absolutely, we are going to do this all the way to the 1960s.”

    Will the Cast Return?

    Steven Knight is eager to bring the story forward, and Anthony Boyle, who plays Arthur Guinness, has expressed excitement about returning for another season. The cast seems ready to continue the saga if Netflix greenlights it.

    Fans can look forward to more family drama, inheritance battles, and historical storytelling if House of Guinness continues.
