SUMO is essentially a tale of brotherhood. In all its heart, it wants to tell the audience that true love can emerge from anywhere and change your entire life.

Suffers from rudimentary storytelling and weak humour

At one point, a whole community comes together to help Ganesh AKA Tashiro, a Japanese sumo wrestler who has lost his intelligence after being washed ashore in Tamil Nadu. Shiva declares, "Kadaisila true love dhan jeikum," as he hugs Tashiro towards the end of the film. These moments are meant to tug at your heartstrings, but the ideas are hollow so they never channel into your heart. Sumo and its characters could have forged a core memory with what could have been a heartwarming story. However, it chooses to be drab, apathetic, and unfunny.
