Presented by Jio Studios, the film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, National Award winning production house FreshLime Films and MA&TH Entertainment. With Shriyam Bhagnani in the titular role, ‘Sumo Didi’ portrays the journey of an Indian middle-class girl who turned her perceived weakness, her weight, into her greatest strength, challenging stereotypes and representing India in female sumo wrestling on the global stage.
Talking about it, Therese Hays, Programmer of Palm Springs International Film Festival says, “Post Covid, I was keen on finding stories that are inspiring. Something positive where people rise above their circumstances and win, and this film reflects that very spirit.”
Arunava Joy Sengupta of FreshLime films adds , “The reception left me overwhelmed. Everyone loved the film and stayed back to voice their appreciation. The audience was given a form when they were entering to rate the film after watching it. The lady who was collecting the forms came and showed me that, everyone had rated the film, excellent.”
Buzz around the film suggests that, after ‘The Lunchbox’ (2013), this is a rare gem emerging from the country which has the same potential, as its predecessor, to appeal to global audiences owing to its theme and compelling narrative. Films with a local flavour have created a humongous impact at the global stage. Looks like ‘Sumo Didi’ is no different. The film which battles social prejudices and has an inspiring message at it’s core is finding resonance at an international stage and audiences across the globe
‘Sumo Didi,’ the unusual story based on true events of India’s only female sumo wrestler, Hetal Dave, is directed by well-known ad-film director Jayant Rohatgi and is written by Nikhil Sachan.
