Story
It’s a story about two women who navigate through life, embracing body positivity and celebrating female friendship; and breaking the myth that beauty corresponds to size, a belief that our society has held for generations. Two plus size women, one from the Uttar Pradesh and the other from New Delhi, discover themselves and realize their dreams.
Plus points
1) Thought of the film is refreshing and good that if a girl is fat, her body can never stop her from dreaming. Body shaming can't be bigger than your dream. Style comes in all shapes and sizes.
2) Film production values are of good standard.
Minus points
1) Both lead actors Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi acting is horrible. They are confused and clueless of their character and role. In the entire film, their looks, make-up & dressing is bad. In not a single frame, they look charming.
Zaheer Iqbal needs to learn abc of acting. It’s irritating whenever he says Zo, Za or Zoo. All other actors are too, disappointing.
2) Direction
Director Satran Ramani, (his first film was Helmet) spent a lot of time, energy and money on the locations of London. But he could not deliver a single decent scene. You get irritated watching this dead drama.
3) Story, Screenplay and Dialogues
The story is good but not presented in a proper way. Bad writing throughout. Though Shikhar Dhawan and Kapil Dev are in film but they add no value. How can a big celebrity like Kapil Dev be fooled for giving an interview to an NGO? Why Huma Qureshi doesn't viral Kapil Dev’s interview?
Jassie Gill is a JR artist in the film. When the focus shifts from India to London, film loses grip. Entire 90 min portion of London is useless and without any logic. It's an absurd work by the whole team of Double XL.
4) Music is forgettable.
5) Entire film needs to be edited.
6) Film is devoid of any entertainment. Be it in the form of songs, romance, action etc.
Box Office Verdict
Double XL public ko Double heart attack degi. How can reknowned production house make such a trash film!
Forget the audience to go to the theatres and pay money for the tickets. They won't watch it for free also on OTT platforms.
