Positive

  • •Sumo Didi on Zee5. Good one.
  • •Don't miss with family #sumodidi on #zee5
  • •Sumo Didi – a refreshing film on a unique, lesser-explored subject, with a meticulous storyline. Once again, a low-budget movie with lesser-known actors leaves a lasting impression. We need more such films celebrating lesser-known sports and their inspiring stories!

Negative

  • •the drama tends to become monotonous in parts as it moves on a single track. Also, similar biographical dramas about sports stars have been seen in earlier films.
  • •A likeable but predictable sports biopic

    The movie revolves around the character of Hetal Dave who follows her belief, conviction and passion despite all odds. The societal pressure that obesity brings on people, parents pressurising settling down rather than following your dreams are well depicted. All cast has played their respective characters well. The main protagonist stands out. Its a good watch.
