Sumo Didi movie review: what critics say (5)
What critics say Critics are divided: 1 of 5 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 1 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the script.
There is a heartbreaking sincerity in the way Sumo Didi presents its protagonist and her story of courage. But there's a fine line between a sincere underdog story and a banal one, and the film never quite finds it.
Read the full reviewSumo Didi works best as a story of self-acceptance and resilience, with Shriyam Bhagnani's committed performance lending weight to Hetal's journey.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
