Double XL
U/A: Comedy, drama
Dir: Satram Ramani
Cast: Sonakshi Sinha, Huma Qureshi
Rating: 2.5/5

As Saira Khanna (Sonakshi Sinha) enters the lift to attend a party at her boyfriend’s house, she inadvertently checks herself in the mirror. Even though the make-up she wears is spotless, she finds the need to darken her lip-colour, adjust her hair, and her dress. It falls beautifully on her curves, but she is not convinced.

This carefully crafted moment in Double XL makes the noble intention of director Satram Ramani and his writers Mudassar Aziz and Sasha Singh, apparent — they seek to challenge notions that compel “bigger” women to see smaller dreams.
