Double XL and other movies that tackled body shamming

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham: In the film, Rohan aka Ladoo (again, a triggering nickname) has been fat-shamed throughout his childhood and even his family members have subtly bullied him which, in real life, would have been a miserable childhood for a kid.

Kal Ho Naa Ho: In the film, Rohan aka Ladoo (again, a triggering nickname) has been fat-shamed throughout his childhood and even his family members have subtly bullied him which, in real life, would have been a miserable childhood for a kid.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha: In this film, Ayushmann Khurrana’s character doesn’t like Bhumi Pedneker as she’s overweight and isn’t fitting the image of his ‘dream girl’. 

The Nutty Professor: A remake of the old Jerry Lewis classic, this version deals heavily, no pun intended, with the idea of how much a person should weigh and what is considered normal for each individual. 

Kung Fu Panda: A remake of the old Jerry Lewis classic, this version deals heavily, no pun intended, with the idea of how much a person should weigh and what is considered normal for each individual. 

Heavyweights : This film stands as one of the biggest fat shaming movies ever. Due to the fact that it’s a Disney film it seems to get away with it. The comedy, the heartfelt moments, and the hilarity of it all are kind of lost on children who simply think it’s funny when the camp owner finally seems to get what he deserves.

Angus :  A lot of kids have been the fat kid in high school, and have possibly endured a host of insults and verbal jabs simply because of their weight. Angus has the best defense against any of this despite his incessant need to not see it.

Double XL : The journey of two plus-size women Rajshree Trivedi from Meerut and Saira Khanna from New Delhi as they navigate society's beauty standards.
