Storyline

worries to get her married to an NRI. With rejected wedding matches, she
decides not to marry. She gets to meet a handsome NRI documentary filmmaker
Abhi (Arya) and loves him, but when Abhi is after Simran (Sonal Chauhan), a
beautiful and slim lady, Sweety gets disappointed and goes for a weight
reducing program called Size Zero owned by Satyanand (Prakash Raj). Will Sweety
slim down? What will the slimming clinic Size Zero offer and what circumstances
does she face is the rest of Size Zero.
Artists Performances
Size Zero completely belongs to Anushka. The film’s story
entirely revolves around her, and she has put in loads of hard work and
dedication, and she made the role believable. She pulled of the brilliantly and
outshined even at snail-paced proceedings.
Arya has very ordinary role in not-so strong
characterization, and he was just okay.
Sonal Chauhan is pretty and has added glamour to the movie, Prakash Raj
is apt in his role, Urvashi is decent while Gollapudi Maruthi Rao bags a
significant role. Pavani, Adivi Sesh makes their presence felt, while
Brahmanandam and Ali are wasted in poor roles. Master Bharat manages to provide
some laughs. Rana, Nagarjuna, Tamanna, Hansika, Lakshmi Prasanna Machu, Jiiva’s
cameos were neat.
Technicians Role
Cinematographer Nirav Shah’s work boasts of rich visuals and
the frames are eye-appealing. MM Keeravani’s musical scores are mediocre and
the BGM is appealing.
Dialogues written by Kiran were good in parts, while Anand
Sai’s art work is commendable. Editing however is inconsistent. Kanika
Dhillon’s concept looks realistic and relatable, but the storytelling is bad.
The direction in the second half loses grip after a promising start. Production
values of PVP Cinemas are commendable.
Analysis
Size Zero story concept is practical, realistic and many
find Anushka’s role relatable, and the actress certainly steals the show in
brilliant performance. She has put in hard work and effort and her dedication
for the film is to be lauded.
Sadly, her effort has gone in vain due to the bad screenplay
and direction. The film starts off on a grand note with entertaining elements
from Anushka, but as the movie progresses, the screenplay totally slip down and
the second half turns totally disappointing. Though the film’s runtime is just
two hours yet the second half is so tiring that we wait for the titles to roll
on.
The romantic thread of Ansuhka, Arya, Sonal is very
predictable, and we have seen similar such scenes in lot of movies earlier. The
issues of girl's weight problems, the main plot takes backseat and rather too
much dramatic Clean India scenes, and slimming clinics have killed the fun
elements in the movie deviating from basic plot.
Size Zero had the potential to be a brilliant film, but the
entire effort and money had gone wasted due to bad screenplay and direction.
Finally
Size Zero- Anushka’s efforts gone wasted
RATING: 2.5/5
