- •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!

- •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.
