Story Review
The movie deals with very sensitive issue Body shaming and it is not a joke. It is something that is not only disturbing but also has seeped into our society with the worry that it has seemingly become 'normal' to crack fat jokes or call someone names based on their size. The filmmaker wants to encourage women to embrace their bodies irrespective of the size, frame, and to self-love to free themselves from the shackles of social stigma. But Unfortunately, this task feels half-baked and a bit of a misfire in the attempt to give the film a tone of commercial acceptance. The idea of body shaming underlines with punches, too many songs and jokes. Although the movie is watchable.
Double XL is helmed by Satramm Ramani. The filming now has wrapped up after a month-long schedule. It is bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar, under the banner of Wakaoo Films with the collaboration of T-Series. The comedy-drama questions bodyweight stereotypes that have long been plaguing our society, in the most humorous manner. The movie is all set to hit theatre screens on October 14, 2022.
