Double XL

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.

I watched this movie to see how they would deal with this touchy concept of weight, size and May be even body shaming.

Instead what I got was a movie that was heavy laden with dialogues. Dear writers this is a movie not a debate or documentary on this well thought of subject.

The story started off promising but after the first 20 minutes it loses the plot. And. Huma Qureshis story is almost forgotten. And the whole story is around fashion.

This is where I felt the movie lost it's relevance. Just because the title has an element of fashion doesn't mean that they make the whole movie about it inspite of having another angle that there was opportunity to run in parallel.

To end it dear writers it's not "one size fits all" it should have been "fit for all".

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.

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.
