Analysis:-
Films on weight issues are not new to us as many movies including Kitakitalu were made in Telugu. Size Zero also deals with the same topic but with a dose of romance.
Anushka with her cute chubby looks and performance drives the first half of the movie without any jerks but second half turns upside down as it gets too boring and pretentious. It deviates from the basic idea. The main issue of a girls weight problems takes a back seat the typical elements of hero heroine being in two minds about their love comes forth.
Too much drama in the second half about Clean India and episode of exposing the slimming clinics has killed the joy of the theme. In the second half the movie tries out to be Lage Raho Munnabhai but ends up as a yawn.
There is a big episode about cycling with all celebrities appearing such lengthy sequences only serves the purpose of promoting the producers firm PVP Sports but not the movie. Such boring episodes are there post interval in plenty.
By making Anushka reject Arya in the first place for no reason and falling for him in next scene going for him even when he is steady with another girl has made her character look like an immature girl.
To be fair the film has pretty good first half. It is only after the interval the movie goes haywire touching all aspects but never being on the core idea.
Rich visuals and making values Anushkas great screen presence is the only redeeming factors in the movies boring second half.
Director Prakash Rao who debuted with Anangana O Dheerudu has proved again that he has visual flair but has no grip on narration. Writer Kanikas script lacks dum. Music is another big letdown. The movie has excessive runtime.
