Sumathi Valavu

Disappointed overall. The film strayed far from its horror roots, stressing instead on a bland love story that failed to evoke emotions. I couldn't connect with the main characters, making the sad moments fall flat. The horror moments were just cheap jump scares rather than genuine suspense. Visually, the panning shots were beautiful, but excessive and loud background music ruined the atmosphere and immersion. Sound mixing felt like it was trying to be immersive but due to the narrow dynamic range, felt overly loud and distracting. The movie was painfully slow, dragging on with dull dialogues that lacked any character depth. The pacing made it boring, and the numerous songs made this worse. Honestly, it feels like this movie covers most of the lessons on how not to make a film. The writing was weak, and it failed to deliver anything close to an entertaining experience - let alone horror.

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..

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.

I watched Sumathi Valavu today, and it was one of the most boring and poorly made movies I've seen in a long time. The film had a potentially good subject, but the terrible direction, weak storytelling, and unnecessary songs completely ruined it. The pacing was painfully slow, and the director failed to create any emotional connection with the characters. Instead of focusing on a gripping narrative, the movie wasted time on meaningless songs that added no value to the story. The screenplay was disjointed, and the performances felt forced, making it hard to sit through. What could have been a powerful or engaging film turned into a snooze-fest due to bad writing and lazy execution. Even the technical aspects like cinematography and editing felt amateurish. Overall, Sumathi Valavu is a classic example of how a good subject can be destroyed by poor filmmaking. Save your time and money this one isn't worth it.

I usually do not catch films on the week of their release due to high ticket prices but went for Sumathi Valavu last day due to low prices. I have to say it was an entertaining watch. Save the aberration that are most of the songs in this, there's a cool story somewhere in here that uses folklore to a good extent. More than the horror, it was the dark humour that got me, delivered in a deadpan manner by the likes of Siddharth Bharathan and Balu Varghese. Although the finale was lukewarm and did not use the buildup properly, there's more to like here than dislike. If you ignore the petty elements and focus on having fun, you may like it. I saw this just after Detective Ujjwalan, I have to say, I really like what I'm watching these days.
