According to www.iAsk.Ai - Ask AI:

The film explores the theme of love in the digital age, questioning whether algorithms can truly predict human connection or if love thrives in unpredictable, messy ways [3]. While the premise holds promise, critics have offered mixed reviews [4]. Positive aspects often highlight the chemistry between Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, the film's feel-good vibe, and the music by Sachin-Jigar, particularly the song "Pardesiya" [1] [3] [4] [6]. The cinematography, showcasing the scenic backwaters of Kerala, has also been praised [1] [4] [5]. Janhvi Kapoor's performance as Sundari has been noted for its believability and emotional depth [3] [4] [5].

However, common criticisms include a predictable and clichéd storyline, a stereotypical portrayal of South Indian culture, and a lack of emotional depth [4] [5] [6]. Some reviewers found Sidharth Malhotra's performance to be "one-note" and the humor forced [4] [5] [6]. The film's narrative has been compared to other cross-cultural rom-coms like Chennai Express and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, but often without the same wit or emotional impact [1] [2] [6]. Despite its flaws, Param Sundari is generally considered a light, one-time watch for those with moderate expectations, offering a pleasant, if not groundbreaking, Bollywood rom-com experience [1] [4].
