Param Sundari Film Plot
The film follows Param Sachadev (Sidharth Malhotra), a wealthy but restless entrepreneur from Delhi whose failed start-ups push his father to set him a challenge – find his soulmate within 10 days to secure a Rs 5 crore investment. His quest takes him to Kochi, where he meets Sundari (Janhvi Kapoor), a homestay owner with a grounded charm. Their cultural differences and Sundari’s close family friend Venugopal create obstacles in a story about love, risk and second chances.
Param Sundari Review
News18 Showsha gave the film 3.5 stars. An excerpt from the review read, “This isn’t a film that preaches or complicates. It doesn’t carry hidden messages or moral burden. It just wants you to feel the giddiness of first love, the ache of uncertainty, and the relief of choosing heart over head. And in that, it succeeds.
In the end, Param Sundari is a comfort food cinema. Paneer Butter Masala, idli-sambar, choose your metaphor. Familiar, yes, but warm, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. It may not aspire to gourmet innovation, but it fills the heart with the uncomplicated sweetness of first love, and the nostalgia of a genre once adored but now endangered. It leaves you smiling, maybe even believing, however briefly, in the miracle of soulmates, algorithm or no algorithm.”
