Sumo is not a popular sport in India. In fact, many people in the country see it as a funny sport. However, that is not the case in its country of origin, Japan. It is Japan’s national sport, and sumo wrestlers are revered in its culture. In India, however, sumo has largely been portrayed mockingly in films, with very little effort to understand the sport. Sumo Didi definitely changes the way we look at sumo and presents the story of India’s first woman sumo wrestler, Hetal Dave.

The ZEE5 original film, starring Shriyam Bhagnani in the lead, is an inspiring sports biopic. Without dragging out the narrative or adding unnecessary drama to her real-life story, the film highlights what inspired Hetal to take up a sport that remains unpopular in India and what drove her to win her first medal.
