Double XL

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.

The movie framing a bad size cult but it turned out to be in good size

The plot is definitely different with re known heroines playing the lead role in this difficult character.. huma designed her self perfectly to the character with that bulky looks and played really well in compare to Sonakshi..the girls broke the taboo of healthy looks..Zaheer was too much and mahat was cute

The movie went in to good pace and waves from the depressed character to the confident ones along with good songs and emotions with a light hearted feeling.

Love was not at all required where they could have shown good friendship

Humas fans will be very happy as she has steal the show once again after maharani.

A great attempt overall, audiences looking for fresh concept and light hearted fun will love this movie. Progressive audiences would love this storyline, the focus being on two heroines & their ambitions ,and finally a movie tackling body shaming in India.

The grating wails of Rajsri's mother trying to force her to get married because she's turned 30 and Rajsri's pain and frustration to embark on her career unshackled is something a lot of women would relate to.

But I'm glad this movie shows family (Rajsri's dad &grandma ; Saira's brother) support the two heroines' not so traditional career choices. Also shows women supporting women which is wonderful to see.

A refreshing movie to see which is also fun and quirky with two beautiful heroines portraying plus size women. Also the tamil actor makes a great (and cute) addition to the ensemble.

I am very much convinced about those dance moves of Mahat Raghavendra. He seems to be professional compared to other stars in this movie. I even played some video songs in loop to verify my comments. Hats off to you macha I have not even finished with watching this movie and I am already impressed by your perfect dance moves. Apart from this involving cricket in this movie does have a good impact and moreover adding Kapil Dev puts more value to this movie. I will look forward to watch more bollywood movies with Mahat Raghavendra in it. All the best Macha, good luck for your future, keep doing the good work.

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.
