In cinemas August 29, the Maddock Films romance blends North-meets-South charm with music, drama, and breathtaking chemistry. Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films have released the much-awaited trailer of Param Sundari, a sweeping romantic drama starring Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra, directed by Tushar Jalota. Set to release on August 29, the film celebrates love that trandcends geography, language, and cultural boundaries.
Shot against the breathtaking backdrop of Kerala, the trailer captures the intoxicating blend of monsoon-drenched roads, backwater bike rides, and the architectural beauty of centuries-old churches - including a heart-stopping sequence that echoes the timeless romance of our favourite onscreen couple SRK and Kajol. The trailer also hints at an emotional undercurrent, with Janhvi’s Sundari exuding a grace, charm, and innocence
Janhvi Kapoor, who looks stunning in the trailer in her beautiful chiffon sarees, says, “Sundari is deeply personal to me. Her grace, quiet strength, and love for her roots resonate with my own South Indian heritage. Shooting in Kerala, surrounded by such beauty, I felt an emotional connection to her world that I hope the audience will feel too”
Sidharth Malhotra marks a much-awaited return to his rom-com era with Param Sundari, and his pairing with Janhvi Kapoor looks as fresh as it is magnetic. As Param, he nails the easy charm and warmth of a Delhi boy and a Punjabi munda, while also pulling off the mundu look with effortless style. His performance brings both the swagger and the sincerity that make the North–South confluence in the film feel organic and deeply felt.
Sidharth Malhotra says, “With Param Sundari, I feel like I’m revisiting the kind of romance I grew up loving, but telling it in a way that feels fresh and relatable. Param has that Delhi boy charm, with a love story that makes you cross worlds. We wanted it to look as beautiful as it feels, and Kerala’s magic really made that happen. I hope the audience feels the same warmth and joy we felt while making it.”
Director Tushar Jalota adds, “Param Sundari is a celebration of differences - the way two distinct worlds can collide and yet create something beautiful together. Kerala gave us a visual palette that feels timeless, and the story gave us the emotional depth to match it. The trailer is just a glimpse of the journey.”
The music, led by Sachin–Jigar with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, promises to be as much a part of the film’s storytelling as the visuals, with Pardesiya already a fan favourite and the monsoon number Bheegi Saree building anticipation. With its mix of scenic grandeur, intimate emotions, and a music album set to define the season, Param Sundari is shaping up to be the biggest love story of the year.Param Sundari releases in cinemas on August 29.
