Sumathi Valavu

A good subject spoiled by bad direction. Never thought a director could possibly churn out this hazy patchwork of a movie. Poor screenplay... Horror elements failed miserably...Could not connect to the characters emotionally...Feels like the work of a child...Arjun Ashokan was far better in Romancham. I rarely visit the theatre, the fake hype lured me to watch this film, needless to say I am massively disappointed. Moreover, the topic had immense potential but they ruined it is a pity, infact a crime..

Sumathi Valavu is a one-time watchable film. While it carries the label of a horror movie, don't go in expecting real horror - the scary elements are too minimal to make any impact. If you just want to spend some time and relax without thinking too much, this might work for you.

The cast did a good job, and the performances were solid across the board - that's one of the few highlights of the movie. However, the story felt weak, and the film lacked a proper finish, leaving things feeling incomplete and underwhelming.

Overall, it's more of a casual watch than a real horror experience.

I dont know how this movie got a 7 star rating. To me this movie is just a waste of time. Zero horror, zero comedy elements, dont waste your time its precious better watch other movies. I watched this beacause of arjun ashokan roled in this he is selective in taking movies but i got dissaappointed. This movie is a chaos of songs 4 fekin songs were included in it.i was like why in the world i did listen to these songs. Horrible songs.

Sumathi valavu (2025 ) is a failed attempt to create a comedy plus horror, which terribly gone wrong. Is it a comedy movie ? Hell NO, all cliche comedies that did not work single percentage. Is it a horror movie? Double hell NO. Utter failure cartoon network animations and usually jump scares and extreme sounds. Night shots are like camera man put a grey silk saree over the lens. Poor editing. Unwanted songs which did not added any thing to story line. Even the songs did not sound / lyrically impressed any one. In complete songs.

Arjun ashokan should really re-consider his movie choosing. Was he really normal while he said yes for this story.. am sure he was not. Characters don't have any impact made to watchers, felt like 2d images which moves.

I watched Sumathi Valavu with high expectations, mainly because the place is already well-known on social media as a haunted spot in Kerala. Many believe it's a place where a ghost appears at night-but the film doesn't fully explore that idea.

Instead of focusing on the ghost story, the movie tells the story of a village family, with the ghost of Sumathi added in as a side plot. While the film tries to show her as a protective spirit, the story doesn't go deep enough to make an impact.

Some scenes were okay, and the concept had promise. But overall, the film felt average. A few songs felt unnecessary and slowed the pace. With a better script and direction, it could've been much stronger.

Final verdict: A watchable movie if you're curious about the "Sumathi Valavu" legend, but not the horror thriller you might expect.
