Oh…! Sukumari: Below-Average Drama Saves No Laughs is a lackluster comedy-drama that fails to capitalize on its promising premise. Released on July 17, 2026, the film stars Thiruveer and Aishwarya Rajesh in lead roles, directed by Bharat Dharshan. The story follows Narala Yadagiri (Thiruveer), an aspiring politician who must marry Daamini (Aishwarya Rajesh) to inherit his grandfather’s Rs. 80 crore property, only to uncover shocking truths on their wedding night.
Aishwarya Rajesh delivers a sincere performance, maintaining energy throughout, though her repeated use of the word “uchchu” becomes tiresome. Thiruveer is decent, with their post-twist scenes providing light-hearted entertainment. However, Oh…! Sukumari: Below-Average Drama Saves No Laughs suffers from extreme predictability, with the core twist revealed in promotional material. Writer-director Bharat Dharshan fails to keep the narrative engaging, relying on outdated and silly comedy in the first half. The second half, despite potential for emotional depth, follows a routine path with little payoff.
The film’s comedy is inconsistent—only a few jokes work, and supporting characters like Aamani and Anand are underutilized. The family drama lacks emotional weight, and songs are forgettable. Technical aspects fall short: Ch. Kushendar’s cinematography is serviceable, Bharat Manchiraju’s music works in parts, and Sree Varaprasad’s editing is below par, hurting pacing.
Overall, Oh…! Sukumari: Below-Average Drama Saves No Laughs offers few laughs and minimal engagement, despite capable leads. With a 123telugu.com rating of 2.5/5, it ends as a below-par affair that hardly entertains.
