Sumo¡¯s plot overview

A champion sumo wrestler, Ganesh (played by real-life wrestler Yoshinori), mysteriously washes ashore on a beach near Chennai, alive but with no memory of his past. He¡¯s discovered by Shiva (Shiva) and Jack (VTV Ganesh), two locals who take him in. At first, they exploit Ganesh¡¯s size and strength in a series of comedic money-making schemes. As the gentle giant becomes a local attraction, especially during events like Vinayaka Chaturthi, they gradually grow fond of him.

Over time, clues about Ganesh¡¯s past begin to surface. The trio eventually learns that Ganesh was once a sumo champion in Japan, forced out of the sport under mysterious circumstances. Determined to help him reclaim his lost identity and title, Shiva and his friends accompany Ganesh to Japan. There, he faces his former rivals and rediscovers his fighting spirit, leading up to a climactic return to the sumo ring, where he must confront the ¡°villain¡± wrestlers and fight for redemption.

Sumo¡¯s review

The Times of India rated the movie 2 out of 5, and a part of their review read, ¡°The comedy offers sporadic chuckles but doesn¡¯t consistently land with impact. It leaves you wishing for more ¨C more creative flair, perhaps a deeper dive into the story¡¯s potential. Decent music from Nivas Prasanna and a manageable runtime help keep things moving, making Sumo a light, if unremarkable, viewing experience overall.¡±
