Inji Iduppazhagi is a pretentiously written film that subsists totally on Anushka's singularly terrific performance, the never-ending sermons on 'smile', 'happiness' and 'fitness' and the sumptuous close-up shots of jilebis and laddus.
Without taking much time, director Prakash Kovelamudi introduces us to Sweety, played by the effervescent Anushka Shetty who shines in her role as a plus-sized woman. As a child, Sweety loves receiving message cards from the weighing machine and is absolutely content with her weight without any airs of burden. She believes that happy girls are the most beautiful lot in the world. And, ostentatious flash cards appear on screen whenever Sweety thinks highly of her values. Her laid-back life gets disturbed when her mother, played by the hypersensitive, melodramatic Urvashi, hunts for a prospective, well-read NRI groom who wouldn't give a hoot to Sweety's obesity.
There are few appreciable moments Kanika Dillon manages to stock in her manipulative screenplay that boasts as a clarion call for women empowerment. Though the intentions of the makers are good-hearted, the way the story-telling is orchestrated on screen is absolutely apathetic.
The supporting cast is quite indifferent and caricatured. Prakash Raj as Sathyanand is absolutely wasted in his role as the managing director of Size Zero, a fitness centre that promises instant weight loss. Sweety,
