Story
Oh Sukumari introduces us to Yadagiri, or Yadi (Thiruveer), a simple village guy who falls head over heels for Damini (Aishwarya Rajesh). But Damini isn’t your typical heroine—anyone who touches her gets an electric shock. The villagers have been baffled by this for years, and when Yadi decides to marry her despite the oddity, everyone is thrilled.
Of course, marriage isn’t as easy as just saying “yes.” The film explores whether Yadi and Damini can build a normal life together, and what lies behind her strange condition.

OTT Review
The film’s biggest win is its quirky premise. A heroine whose touch literally shocks people? That’s fresh and instantly grabs attention. Sadly, the execution doesn’t quite live up to the promise.
The first half is lively and fun—Yadi and Damini’s meeting, the wedding prep, the pre-wedding shoot—all of it has charm and humor. You’ll find yourself smiling at their chemistry. But once the interval passes, the story slips into familiar territory. The emotional beats don’t hit as hard, the comedy fizzles, and the resolution feels rushed.
It’s one of those films where you can see the potential, but the screenplay doesn’t dig deep enough to make it truly memorable.
Performances
* Thiruveer shines with his natural, innocent charm. He makes Yadi someone you want to root for.
* Aishwarya Rajesh owns her role. She fits Damini perfectly and even outshines Thiruveer in some emotional moments.
* Vishnu Oi as the photographer adds genuine laughs, while Muralidhar Goud, Jhansi, and Aamani are solid in their supporting roles.
* Director Bharat Darshan deserves credit for the idea, but the writing needed more emotional depth and tighter pacing.
What Works
* A fresh, unusual concept
* Fun and engaging first half
* Strong performances from the leads
* A few good comedy moments
What Doesn’t
* Screenplay loses steam after interval
* Predictable second half
* Emotional scenes don’t land
* Ending leaves Damini’s condition underexplained
Final Verdict
Oh Sukumari is a film that starts strong with a quirky, entertaining idea but struggles to sustain its energy. Thiruveer and Aishwarya Rajesh keep it watchable, and the first half is genuinely enjoyable. But the second half feels too safe and predictable.
If you’re in the mood for a light-hearted rural rom-com with a twist, it’s worth a one-time watch on Prime Video. Just don’t expect it to shock you—in a good way—the whole way through.
