Sidharth Malhotra as ‘Param’ & Janhvi Kapoor as ‘Sundari’
In a teaser released on Instagram, Maddock Films introduced Sidharth Malhotra as “North’s fire” and Janhvi Kapoor as “South’s grace”. The visual teaser radiates warmth, chemistry, and high-octane drama, all while showcasing the lush backdrops of South India.
The caption read:
“Where North’s fire meets South’s grace, it calls for the biggest love story of the year! Dinesh Vijan presents Param Sundari, a love story directed by Tushar Jalota, coming to cinemas on 25th July 2025.”
The Story Behind Param Sundari
Directed by Tushar Jalota, best known for the critically acclaimed film Dasvi, Param Sundari explores a cross-cultural romance between a spirited North Indian man and a poised South Indian woman. The film has been extensively shot in the backwaters and temples of Kerala, capturing the spiritual and visual essence of the region.
According to a statement from the producers, the movie “promises a heartfelt tale of love, where two worlds collide and sparks are bound to fly. Set against the breathtaking backwaters of Kerala, this love story is a rollercoaster of laughter, chaos, and unexpected twists you won’t see coming.”
Maddock Films on the Vision
Speaking to Variety, producer Dinesh Vijan said,
“It’s like those films Mani-sir [Mani Ratnam] used to do — like Saathiya. The kind of music it has, Janhvi playing a South Indian is interesting, Sid’s playing a Northern Delhi boy, and the conflict is very cool.”
Vijan hinted at a unique narrative blend:
“It’s like taking Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya forward — there's a high-tech idea in there. But we are also stepping into the Kantara world — more rooted, more mythical.”
A Promising Summer Release
Param Sundari is set to hit theatres on July 25, 2025, and is expected to appeal to both mainstream audiences and lovers of cross-cultural Indian stories. With a powerful star cast, rich visuals, soul-stirring music, and Maddock Films' knack for combining emotion with entertainment, the movie is already being called one of the most awaited Bollywood films of 2025.
The film’s soundtrack, which remains under wraps, is also being closely watched by fans, especially given the musical legacy of films like Saathiya and Roja that have similarly explored North-South romances.
Final Word
With romance, regional identity, and strong cinematic storytelling at its core, Param Sundari is shaping up to be a culturally resonant film that bridges India's diverse linguistic and emotional landscape.
