Param Sundari follows the story of a rich Punjabi man, played by Sidharth Malhotra, who falls in love with Janhvi Kapoor's character, Sundari, a humble Malayali girl from Kerala. The film attempts to blend a North-South romance, but their relationship struggles to spark genuine chemistry. The film features picturesque Kerala landscapes and culturally significant settings, but the love story itself feels predictable and hollow.
Director Tushar Jalota presents Param Sundari as a romantic comedy that fails to deliver on its potential. The film features beautiful Kerala visuals and catchy music but lacks the emotional depth required to make the romance believable. Despite the charming backdrop, the chemistry between the leads is weak, resulting in an underwhelming viewing experience. The film becomes a visual treat with stunning shots of Kerala but doesn’t succeed in making audiences feel the emotional connection.
The music in Param Sundari does its part to engage the audience, with Sonu Nigam's "Pardesiya" being the standout track. However, the rest of the music fades into the background, with forgettable dialogues and cheesy moments detracting from the experience.
The pacing of the film feels sluggish at times, and the narrative drags, especially in the emotional beats that lack the necessary punch. The film could have benefitted from tighter editing to improve its flow.
While Param Sundari offers gorgeous visuals and a glimpse of Kerala’s rich culture, it fails to deliver the heartwarming, believable romance expected from a rom-com. The lack of chemistry between Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor makes it difficult for the audience to invest emotionally in their journey. The film ends up feeling more like a visually appealing brochure of Kerala rather than a memorable love story.
