From 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' to 'The Bhootnii': Sunny Singh is quietly owning Bollywood's comedy space
From the moment he appeared as the lovably confused character in 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama', Sunny Singh caught the audience's attention with his impeccable comic timing and perfect dialogue delivery. In a space often dominated by over-the-top antics, Sunny's style of comedy is refreshing, realistic, with a dash of sarcasm, and endearing innocence. Over the years, he has carved a niche for himself in Bollywood's comedy genre with films like 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety', 'Jai Mummy Di', 'Ujda Chaman', and the recent 'The Bhootnii', proving that he's not just the funny guy, but the relatable one. In 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama', Sunny played the role of Chauka, one of the three friends trying to make sense of modern-day relationships. While the film's infamous monologue by Kartik Aaryan went viral, Sunny's contribution lay in his relatable expressions and the subtle yet hilarious way he responded to his friends' chaos. His natural screen presence and effortless timing didn't go unnoticed. The film became his stepping stone, paving the way for his journey up the ladder of success. HAMID BARKZI,ROZLYN KHAN,PRATIK GANDHI & RASHIKA DUGAL AT THE RED CARPET OF 8TH TALENTRACK AWARDS Then came 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety;, the film that cemented his place in mainstream comedy. As the naive and trusting Titu, Sunny's restrained performance was the perfect foil to Kartik's high-energy Sonu. His character's simplicity and emotional vulnerability brought balance to the bromance, and his dialogues, especially 'Mujhe toh Sweety sahi lagti hai yaar', sparked countless memes and were repeated in everyday conversations. What stood out was how naturally he embodied the confused, love-struck boy, without ever going over the top. In 'Jai Mummy Di', he stepped into the role of a young man stuck between love and a hilarious family feud. While the film had a chaotic, almost sitcom-like energy, Sunny stood out with his grounded performance. He portrayed frustration and helplessness in a way that wasn't just funny but also highly believable, a boy next door who just wants peace but gets caught in a storm. Ujda Chaman was a departure from his usual comic outings. Here, Sunny played a prematurely balding man dealing with societal judgments. While still a comedy, the film leaned into satire and self-reflection. Sunny brought a layer of sensitivity and depth to his role, showing that he could do more than just punchlines, he could make you laugh and think at the same time. His recent performance in Wild Wild Punjab was another example of how he adapts his style to fit ensemble comedies. Amid the madness of the bachelor party gone rogue, Sunny's understated wit helped bring moments of calm hilarity. And in his recent film The Bhootnii, he once again reminded everyone of his strength, being funny without trying too hard. His expressions, especially in ghostly situations, were priceless. What makes Sunny Singh unique is his ability to be the heart of a comedy without demanding the spotlight! The Times of India editorial team was not involved in the creation of this content.
