This film is infused with spirit—both tangible and metaphorical. It’s not just about ghosts or gags. It’s about guilt, gossip, and the truths that refuse to stay buried. JP Thuminad proves that strong writing, eccentric characters, and a rooted vision can travel far, even without stardom. That flickering light or banging door? Maybe a spirit, or just a sign of great storytelling that lingers long after the credits roll. You don’t need to know the language; Su from So connects through emotion, where even the laughter has something to say. Local, yet universal. A must-watch, not just for horror or comedy fans, but for anyone who believes cinema can still surprise, subvert, and stay with you.Read at source
Su From So
Ashoka, a young painter in the village Maruluru, develops a crush on a woman. One night, while returning from a party, a drunk Ashoka peeps through the window of her bathroom. To escape, he acts like he is possessed by a ghost. From the next day, he finds himself at the center of unwanted attention. In the chaos, people mishear it as Sulochana. A famous priest, Karunakar Guruji, is called to get rid of the "spirit", and he then concludes that Ashoka is indeed possessed by a spirit named 'Sulochana', hailing from the neighbouring town 'Someshwara'. Bizarre rituals are performed to exorcise the spirit from Ashoka's body in vain, as he inadvertently causes people to think that he is still possessed. As a last resort, the villagers go to Someshwara to find Sulochana, where they find a woman, Bhanu, whose mother, Sulochana, died not long ago. She is coincidentally the first prospective bride whom Ravi "Anna", a popular man in the village, had visited and rejected years ago, and, as fate has it, both are still unmarried. Bhanu then regularly visits Ashoka's village to talk to her mother via Ashoka, to persuade her to leave his body, and he gradually learns of Bhanu's struggles, her uncle's harassment and his sexual advances towards her.
