Su From So took Kannada cinema by storm when it premiered on July 15 this year. The audience’s reception to this J. P. Thuminad film was outstanding during its theatrical run. Made on a modest budget of INR 5.5 crores, this comedy-drama grossed over INR 125 crores at the box office. And now, it has arrived on JioHotstar. Let’s see what viewers think about the film.
Early reactions to Su From So on OTT are mostly positive, with many calling it a must-watch and praising its seamless and refreshing blend of comedy and thriller. The film’s humour stands out as a major highlight, while the cast’s performances, particularly Shaneel Gautham and Deepak Rai Panaje, are lauded for their impeccable comedic timing and chemistry.
Thuminad has also been praised for his strong direction. However, there is a noticeable section of viewers who found the film “overhyped” and “overrated.” Some felt it was a decent one-time watch. While the last 30 minutes of the movie have been highly praised, the first half is often described as slow and a bit disjointed.
Su From So revolves around Ashoka (J. P. Thuminad), who develops a crush, but a simple misunderstanding makes his fellow villagers believe he’s possessed by a local spirit named Sulochana.
This rumour creates chaos and suspicion, with Ashoka at the centre. As the story unfolds, we learn about Bhanu (Sandhya Arakere), Sulochana’s daughter, whose personal struggles are intertwined with the village’s superstitions. The movie blends comedy and social drama to highlight how rumours, old beliefs, and personal histories can shape people’s lives.
Here are some of the reactions to Su From So on OTT. You can stream it now on JioHotstar.

#SuFromSo It is unbearable, bizarre & humorless It might be relatable to coastal audience but definitely not enjoyable There is no plot in the 1st half If people insist that u should have a good mood/ it is enjoyable as community viewing it is drawback of the film
