    My favourite brotherhood movie

    "Sumo" is an absolute gem of a film! From the moment it began, I was completely drawn into its unique and heartwarming narrative. The film beautifully navigates the development of an unlikely friendship, and the chemistry between the lead actors is simply captivating. There's a wonderful balance of laugh-out-loud comedy and genuinely touching moments that makes the story feel both lighthearted and deeply resonant.

    What truly stands out is the film's originality. It takes a seemingly simple premise and weaves it into a compelling and thoroughly enjoyable experience. The cultural backdrop is presented with respect and adds an interesting layer to the story without ever feeling like a caricature. The supporting characters are equally well-developed, each adding their own distinct flavor to the narrative tapestry. "Sumo" is a refreshing and uplifting film that reminds you of the power of human connection in its purest form. It's the kind of movie you want to recommend to everyone,

    A Chill Comedy You Can Enjoy with Family.

    The first half of the movie is boring and feels slow. It takes time to get interesting, and some scenes could have been better. But the second half is much better and more exciting. The story becomes more engaging and fun to watch.

    The part where they show the origin of sumo is very good. It helps us understand the history and meaning behind the sport. This makes the movie more special and different.

    The music in the movie is also good. It matches the scenes well and makes the emotions stronger.

    It's a comedy movie that is also kids and family-friendly. The jokes are simple and fun, and everyone can enjoy it together.

    Overall, even though the first half is not great, the second half and good music make it a nice movie to watch.

    I loved the movie sumo

    Just finished watching "Sumo," and what a delightful surprise! This film truly captures a unique charm with its heartwarming story and genuinely funny moments. The central relationship, built on an unexpected connection, is portrayed with such sincerity and warmth that it's impossible not to be invested in their journey. The humor arises naturally from the characters' interactions and the fish-out-of-water scenarios, avoiding anything forced or cliché.

    What struck me most was the film's gentle approach to its themes, subtly exploring cultural differences and the beauty of human connection without being preachy. The performances are all excellent, bringing a real sense of authenticity to their roles. The film's pacing allows for moments of quiet reflection alongside the comedic beats, creating a well-rounded and emotionally resonant experience. "Sumo" is the kind of film that leaves you feeling good, with a smile on your face and a warm feeling in your heart. It's a testament to the power of simple storytelling done well, and it absolutely deserves high praise.

    Sumo is heartfull movie, small small slow moments but super

    Sumo movie gave me full good feeling bro. Shiva acting was very natural and the bonding with Tashiro is pure gold. First half is full fun with comedy and kids scenes. Second half vera level emotional touch. Few scenes in middle little slow, felt like could have moved faster, but otherwise the heart of the story keeps us connected. Japan scenes and sumo fight was superbly made. Camera work and BGM semma nice. Special mention to the emotions without much talking - Tashiro sir nailed it. Family audience will totaly enjoy. Must watch if u want good heart touching story and clean movie with small small memorable moments.
