In an exclusive chat with indianexpress.com, Nushrat shared why she enjoyed her onscreen camaraderie with Kartik more this time, than when the two romanced onscreen in their previous films. “With Kartik, in both films (PKP), eventually fights did happen. There was never a happy love story. But this time I’ve liked the zone a lot with him. I’ve enjoyed a lot this time with Kartik because I love swag, which generally boys have. Girls don’t get to show that quite often. So I’m happy I could do a comeback to him. So our war is fun. I loved exploring a completely new dynamics of a relationship with Kartik.”
Film business and trade analyst Girish Johar is of the opinion that the Luv Ranjan film has created a lot of positive buzz in the minds of cinephiles. “From its trailer to its foot-tapping music, the film has made sure to cater content according to the taste of its target audience,” he said. “And considering the popularity of Pyaar Ka Punchnama franchise with the youth of the country, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety is expected to have a strong box office opening of around Rs 4.25 crore. If the content is as good and the film is able to click with the audiences, the film could even go on to earn a sum of Rs 14 crore by the end of the weekend,” remarked Johar.

Tongue twister title
When Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety was announced last year, what caught our attention was obviously its name. While for a long time we kept wondering who is Sonu, Titu and Sweety, we'll get more of their love-hate relationship when the film releases.
Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 gang returns
Kartik Aaryan, Nushrat Bharucha and Sunny Singh showed us a different kind of chemistry, fun and some real-life romance crisis in their previous hit. The three actors have also worked in Akaash Vani, but that was on a completely different tangent. So with Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, we'll get to see a new side to their onscreen camaraderie.
Kartik vs Nushrat
This is Kartik Aaryan and Nushrat Bharucha's fourth film together. And until now we've seen these two being paired opposite each other, sometimes romancing, sometimes being on the edge with Kartik ending up throwing a monologue every time he was done with his lady love! But this time, tables have turned. The two are fighting it out for the love of, well, Sunny aka Titu! This bromance vs romance might make Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, an exciting watch.
Luv Ranjan
The director is known to make films catering to the youth and speaking their language. His Pyaar Ka Punchnama franchise is already a favourite of every guy. Now, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety also explores a common issue the current generation faces, that of how to make your partner and your best friend accept each other and strike a bond. Today, it is more about your better half gelling well with your friends, rather than the family. We are sure no one but Luv could handle this plot well, in the funniest yet realistic manner.
Music
Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety has some foot-tapping songs too, including some revamped tracks like "Dil Chori", "Chhote Chhote Peg" and "Bom Diggy Diggy." The film's songs have already become party anthems this season.
Indianexpress.com's Shubhra Gupta says, "Kartik Aaryan, Nushrat Bharucha and Sunny Singh starrer Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety provides some laughs, some of which escape involuntarily. But it also leaves you wondering. Can Ranjan grow up his callow characters? Of course, he can, because he has the smarts (remember Pyar Ka Punchnama?). Does he really want to? I’m not sure. Sharp comedy of the sexes is the hard stuff. Cheap laughs are easy." Read: Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety movie review: Cheap laughs are easy
