What the critics say
Sumathi Valavu is a watchable but predictable family horror-comedy, with reviewers praising the forest night cinematography and performances from Arjun Ashokan, Gokul Suresh and Siddharth Bharathan while panning the clichéd scares, weak dialogue and love-track songs.

Derived by Filmi
30
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
