Su From So – From a Small Kannada Film to a Pan-India Blockbuster, Now on OTT
Every once in a while, a film comes along that reminds us that content is king. That’s exactly what happened with Su From So, a small Kannada horror-comedy that took the Indian box office by storm and is now creating waves on OTT.
The Beginning of the Story
In a calm coastal village of Karnataka, life is slow and peaceful—until fear enters in the form of a boy named Ashok. Villagers begin whispering that Ashok is possessed by a ghost called Sulochana. What follows is not just spine-chilling suspense but also a surprising dose of humor.
The Magic of Realism
Su From So isn’t your typical horror drama. Directed, written, and led by J. P. Tuminad, the film is based on real events, which makes it all the more engaging. With his raw performance and authentic storytelling, Tuminad makes you feel like you’re right there in the village, witnessing the eerie happenings.
Supporting him are Shanil Gautam, Sandhya Arakere, and Prakash Tuminad, who bring life to the quirky characters that keep the narrative vibrant.
Box Office Journey
Made with a tiny budget of ₹5 crores, no one imagined the film would cross ₹120 crores worldwide. But strong word-of-mouth turned Su From So into a Pan-India sensation. Just like Kantara once did, this movie proved that even a regional film rooted in local culture can resonate with audiences everywhere.
From Theaters to OTT
After its theatrical storm, the film has now landed on JioCinema / Disney+ Hotstar, giving audiences across India a chance to enjoy this horror-comedy experience in their own language. It’s streaming in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam, ensuring it reaches the widest possible audience.
