Double XL

So far, celebrating obesity was a mental disorder limited to the United States as the capitalists there would make money on anything.

It is extremely sad that this nonsense in now being pushed in India as a narrative. Are there fat people in the society? Yes. Do they deserve to be treated with respect and fairness? Yes. Do we need to celebrate the fact that they are fat? NO!

We should rather endeavour to understand the reason why the person is fat, it could be poor lifestyle, medical complications, genetic issues or some other reason. These people need help to ensure that they stay in shape and thus can lead healthy lives.

Being fat can be a choice, but that is not in any way, equivalent to being healthy.

Such Bollywood nonsense should be ridiculed to the fullest extent possible and the idiots who portray such roles should be boycotted along with the producers, directors etc. These jokers are not doing anything to combat the obesity issues in the country and just want to make money. Disgusting.

In addition to promote obesity and not working hard on a healthy body and healthy mind this movie promotes poisons like food from fast food joints and sugar. It is clear that this movie is financed by sugar industry who doesn't want people to live a healthy life. The movie has no substance. It looks like they write scripts and dialogues on set now a days. The acting is sub par and the entire movie was unwatchable. Sonakshi Sinha pretending to be fat by wearing XXL clothes portrayed that this actress did not want to gain weight for the the role. Why would she if she is a nepo-kid? Shame on Bollywood for making such a horrible movie.

Super illogical movie. The director thought that it's high time for audience to stop fat shaming and so he made a movie that can make people change their thought process. He did such a good job screwing it up. It was such a torture, felt like a character in the movie "saw" who is getting screwed up with blood oozing through ears because his / her mind can't take this non sense any further.

This story is so bad and such a typical talking out of your ass kind of story. Sonakshi and Huma self pity about their obesity and people making fun of them in this movie is actually insult to people who are really facing such issues. Their character seemed like people who don't like to work hard, finds short cuts, not do any reasearch and instead hope all the best things in the world.

Some movies have interesting and topical themes but the implementation leaves much to be desired. This is one more to the list. Obesity has always been a socially embarrassing subject specially for the fair sex and many young women also find it difficult to get married. An oversized person in addition to being fat shamed has been the source of comic situations . Luckily the movie does not focus on this aspect.

The movie ignores the fact that obesity brings about health problems too and may cause lifestyle diseases. Worse, the movie accepts obesity as unavoidable and celebrates it by advocating junk food. No one tells these two modern women to go on a diet and/or join a gym. This social problem doesn't have easy solutions and the movie also deals with the issue in a flimsy and superfluous manner. The narrative drags and meanders in many places. It gets further diluted due to unnecessary and boring subplots. A few scenes lack conviction. The plot is about two plus sized women. One is Huma Qureshi from Meerut who is keen on becoming a sports commentator ( Cricket naturally) and the other is Sonakshi Sinha from Delhi who is interested in setting up a fashion clothes brand in her name. Both women find their obese looks an impediment in following up their ambitions. Like Huma ruefully mentions that her interviewers don't check her knowledge and rather see her obesity as a disadvantage. In humour she mentions the all 3 have a good friendship that is she, food and obesity.

Director Satram Ramani falls short in making an impact and appears to be handicapped by a generally weak screenplay and dialogue. Even the acting does not make any impression mainly because of the ordinary dialogue. Both Huma and Sonakshi needed stronger characters. The ending is however well written and seems a reasonably logical approach to the issue. A good portion is attractively shot in London.

It's an important subject to cover the issue of obesity which I think is a core issue of today's generation and it wasn't covered well... relating obesity with fashion to some extend is yes can be related but in other hand i wish they would have captured and enlighten the viewers of its health related issues around this taboo topic... but hey in other hand it's a fun movie full of humour and I personally enjoyed it watching and what I love the most about this movie is free of vulgarity that one can watch with kids and family. All the characters are good but Zorawar Rehman and Sri were the best amongst all.
