"Fashion isn't about how chubby or slim you are, fashion is about celebrating yourself " this is the main concept of this film. This is a very unique concept in bengali cinema. I don't think so, there has been a movie about this kind of thing before.

Director Aritra Mukherjee's Direction is awesome. There will be no talk about the story of the movie, in one word it is great. Applicable dialogues have been put in this movie. The biggest thing is, the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not shown unnecessarily.

There are some songs in the movie. These are very good. Nice to hear and see. Background music are also good.

Let's talk about acting, Ritabhari Chakraborty (Fullora Bhaduri), Abir Chatterjee (Bachoshpoti Bhaduri), Swastika Dutta (The Biki Sen), Soma Banerjee (Bachoshpoti's Mother), Raktim Samanta (Bachoshpoti's Brother) are the main characters in this movie. They portray their own characters very well. Separately applauded to Ritabhari Chakraborty and Abir Chatterjee. Also other casts are there in the movie. They are very good.

Fata Fati If you look at me, you will know my weight and sizeAnd the size of my dreams is 100,100,100 -The movie ends with Phooora (actress Ritabhari Chakraborty) saying...

But The words of direct competition and insults directed at her shape pierce Etella's mind The role of Phulora in this movie is that she brings out her amazing talent from all the pains.

Flowera Fashion on Insta without showing your face Post box scene

A scene where the husband and family members stand by the middle class family

(Ritabhari's) performance in the scenes of walking on the ramp in the fashion show is popular

The scene where fat women, despite their shape and many problems in life, get together and forget about everything and have a cup of coffee is great.

Must see.

I have just seen this movie. Now,i just wanna give my honest opinion about this .. Abir Chatterjee as usual very natural in his character of Bachaspati..@ritabharipc as phullora must be appreciated..she justifies phullora so well. Rest of the characters of this film match the vives and tempo..swastika as Biki Sen attracts peoples attention. Director Aritra Mukherjee deserves a wow..Windows as a production house done a great job. So,the story of a middle class girl who is fat but live her life by her own choice. It is a story that tells us how we do our daily chores but never leave our dreams #fatafati.

Aritra Mukherjee's Fatafati has a decent grip on the perils of both fatphobia and skinny-worshipping but manages to distil its size positivity from becoming unrelenting. It's a clever approach too because the film's message weaves in ideas of body neutrality; instead of telling women how they should feel about their bodies, the film basically says they are much more than their bodily flaws or beauties.

Ritabhari Chakraborty plays Phullara, a plus-sized seamstress-turned-influencer from a small town who with the help of her brother-in-law starts a body-positive social media page. A very well executed global issue of obesity and over weighted people . In short I should say it is a masterpiece.

This is a beautiful movie with a great message to convey. Body shaming is a crime as it affects a person psychologically. Phullora's story is an example of how one should ignore all the comments regarding one's shape and size and concentrate on his/her work. Success is the best answer to all sorts of criticism. It is high time that we, as a society, stop all these. The film entails some heart touching performance by the lead artists and is a family entertainment. It's absolutely essential to encourage Bengali movies of this kind because it does not promote any negative idea. Go and watch Fatafati and recommend it to all your friends and family. This film gives a positive message which is absolutely essential for today's youth.

Director Aritra Mukherjee done a great job. Ritabhari and off course Abir Chatterjee acted so well. Rest of the casts have done their work superbly.. The name 'FATAFATI' really justifies. This movie shows the real truth of the so called society. Now a days body shaming gives such a negative impact on the society. We should thing about this. Not only good look matters.. Quality matters more than it. This movie emphasizes this fact. A simple middle class married woman, despite of every hurdles in her life, keep going on to fulfill her dream. This movie touches my heart. We are not mediocre. We are best. I just loved it. I have given my review and rating. Now it's your turn.

Love Bikki Sen. I don't know why but I found her to be very relatable. I have a neighbour, who is always gossiping about what others wear, what they eat, what their body weight is, what their public conduct is like and how all these should ideally be and passes on all the information to her circle. So, all these women are always body shaming the rest of the neighbourhood. I have been under their scanner several times and no matter how much I detest them or want to raise my voice, something in me has barred me from doing that. Fatafati is an answer to the Bikki Sens of the world. I hope all these aunties watch the film and realise what a mess they have been to us. Performance wise too, Swastika Dutta as Bikki Sen has been quite a revelation. She has broken image to do this and hats off!

This is a well made movie with a great message to convey. Body shaming is a crime as it affects a person psychologically. Phullora's story is not an uncommon incident. It is an example of how one should ignore all the comments regarding one's shape and size and concentrate on his/her work. It is high time that we, as a society, stop being judgemental. The film boasts of some genuinely Google performance by the lead artists and is a family entertainment. It's absolutely essential to encourage Bengali movies of this kind because it does not promote any negative idea. Go and watch Fatafati and recommend it to all your friends and family. This film gives a positive message which is absolutely essential for today's youth.

I am immensely moved by the love story of the lead couple, played by Abir Chatterjee and Ritabhari Chakraborty. Bachospoti Bhaduri is honestly a dream husband, a doting son and a caring brother. He ticks too many boxes perfectly that the bar for Indian men has automatically raised. But I believe there are these men that exist in real too. Phullora, on the other hand, has big dreams that she pens secretly for herself, without knowing how they will ever turn into reality. She lacks confidence at the beginning as her confidence is shaken up by THE BIKKI SEN. But she finally gets the courage to face Bikki and also her own self on the ramp and the ending is truly like a painting in motion. I think Fatafati will go on to inspire many, many men and women out there, who feel lack of confidence because of their body weight.

At a time when family values are degenerating by the day and we often champion broken families, sibling rivalries, cheating husband and wife, Fatafati appears to be a pleasant change. I don't remember after Badhaai Ho, in which film I saw these moments between a husband and wife. Here Fullora and Bachospoti felt as if they complete each other. So, when there's no money, they still do their best to share their income and look after the best interests of the family members. Even when they were away from each other, they still looked very much together. I was blown away by this age-old romance between a man and woman in a modern film. Honestly, I did not expect this. Also, kudos to Ritabhari Chakraborty and Abir Chatterjee for making this story look so believable. They have done a very good job and I hope they pair up in more such films.

'Fatafati' Is Way Above 'Motamuti' And Way Ahead Of 'Tadatadi'

If you have ever lived in Bengal or are blessed to have Bengali friends around you, who somehow cannot resist and often indulge in speaking their mother tongue while you watch them, enjoying their sorties, these three words used in the subject line are definitely not new to you.

• Fatafati - A word that 'Motamuti' expresses excellence of higher order.

• Motamuti - A word that 'Tadatadi' expresses anything that is on an average.

• Tadatadi - A word that unlike above two words, expresses the dire need to hurry up whichever way it can.

"Fatafati" - an Aritra Mukherjee directed Bengali movie, dubbed in many languages including Hindi and released on OTT platform on Sony Liv on 4th August 2023 is "Motamuti" a pure, fresh and unpolished diamond on an irresistible offer that should be "Tadatadi" availed, watched for some clean, inspiring and rejuvenating entertainment.

Though the movie quickly establishes a heart to heart connection with all type of or different age group of viewers, if you have ever lived in Kolkata or in Bengal in general, it would go an extra mile to make you feel at home.

No doubt, the movie could have been a real masterpiece had some finer points been attended, decorated and celebrated in a logically placed sequence or order, but even then the sheer purity of intent, inherent simplicity of expression and abundant clarity in content with which the story unfolds beautifully, makes it a cut above the rest.

In times when violence, action and vulgarity are considered as a certain winning formula, especially on OTT, 'Fatafati' stands out as a clean entertainment trendsetter movie which is likely to inspire many budding Phulloras of our world to blossom into a beautiful flower, spreading the fragrance of love, trust and excellence, wherever they are.

Though I can go on writing about this small budget wonder that is full of human feelings, priceless sentiments and natural emotions, saying anything further, may actually reveal the plot, I want you to explore, discover and enjoy on your own.

It is a must watch movie that should be enjoyed with entire family watching it together - do share your reflections after viewing it.

We simply loved being a part of this beautiful story,

In gratitude,

NiTiN.

Fatafati promotes itself as a film with a social message that deals with body shaming...... And the social message that is given in this film is very very relatable...... It is amusing and at the same time it is inspiring..... the performance by all the lead characters of the film is excellent! Both Ritabhari and Abir have acted brilliantly in this movie..... It is shot well in a picturesque Bengal town. ....The cinematography as well as the music of the film is beautiful!....this is a film with a lot of positivity and this kind of positivity is needed for today's generation....it is high time we stop beig judgemental!....love the idea promoted by the film- we are not so so, we are just too good!

The measure of beauty is measured. There is no point in going around a bit. That is the red spot on the mark sheet.

How long have women been forced to cope with this demand? And entertainment movies are equally encouraged.

Almost everyone knows that the general construction of the heroines is created to make the male eye worthwhile.

By 'men' here, however, I am not just referring to gender-identified men. I am talking about a particular mentality. Victims of that mentality are, unfortunately, often women themselves. Even today, our progressive society is looking for a young body in advertisement for bride wanted. The news shows how hard the heroines work to get slim.

A rose of praise is picked up for that sneaky appearance. And, the woman who is away from these, what does she do? For her, there is a feeling of depression and despair.

Sometimes it becomes fatal. Especially, in the case of young people. It is from that place that '' strikes me as a wonderful Fatafati slap.

Fortunately, the wave of change over time is being felt in the media and elsewhere. A few days ago, an actress refused to advertise fairness cream.

Aritra Mukherjee's Fatafati has a decent grip on the perils of both fatphobia and skinny-worshipping but manages to distil its size positivity from becoming unrelenting. It's a clever approach too because the film's message weaves in ideas of body neutrality; instead of telling women how they should feel about their bodies, the film basically says they are much more than their bodily flaws or beauties.

Ritabhari Chakraborty plays Phullara, a plus-sized seamstress-turned-influencer from a small town who with the help of her brother-in-law starts a body-positive social media page. She lives next door to Biki Sen (Swastika Dutta), a fashion and wellness influencer who never misses a chance to size-shame her. Phullara's husband Bachaspati (Abir Chatterjee) is smitten with her, her mum-law is not problematic in any real way and she has a supportive peer group. Very little gets in her way in the first half, (except maybe Biki and a fatphobic autowallah), which makes for a sleepy first hour. But we recommend not leaving midway because turns out the makers saved most of the drama for the second half.

I am an avid fashion lover. And I religiously follow the fashion trends across the globe, keeping an eye on whatever is happening everywhere. And I loved it when Fullora Bhaduri discarded the use of heels right at the end of the film. Earlier the the heel controversy at Festival de Cannes sparked a serious conversation about the shoes women wear and their reasons for wearing them on the red carpet. Heels may look great but it also hurts women and to not be allowed to wear comfort shoes in public is a big issue. Hollywood actors have raised their voice against the trend of wearing heels on the red carpet and here, in an Indian film, the same has been shown. I felt very proud as an audience member that the conversation has been taken forward. And yes, heels are no longer 'essentials of a fashion show'. True that.

Really Nice movie..I have seen it 2times already...perfect for all ages...from script writing to song to acting everything was perfect & relatable......This film again showed that Bengali film is not placed lesser than other films.......rather This film is really FATAFATI, 'an energy booster' for all ages, all person. It's also inspiring, full of emotion , every feelings was present in this film .. Loved to watch it ......I will suggest all to go & watch this film......it's really an unique film. The message conveyed here is great! This positivity is absolutely necessarry for today's generation❤❤💯💯

Fullora's journey has inspired me a great deal. As a teenager, I would be called fat and ugly. My cousins would laugh at me, my schoolmates would discriminate me when it came to sports and never giving me a chance to take part. I tried everything from routine exercises and stringent diets, surviving only on cucumber and yogurt for days on end, which changed my relationship with food. Food would bring me a lot of fear, which was terrible. Now, 35 kilos down, I am all of 62 Kg. But only I know what I have been through half my life. When I saw Fullora accepting herself and taking on the world to prove her mettle, I was a bit sad. I could never muster the courage to give it back to the offenders, I would only secretly cry. The whole idea is to accept yourself the way you are. I hope I had done that.

At a time when cheating in marriages is shown as the obvious in films and also web series, Fatafati talks about a middle-class world oozing with affection and love, tucked away in a few kilometers away from the big city. There's enough love to keep a family going, even when a financial crisis looms large. Some of the characters are couched in daily comforts, while there are a few like Fullora Bhaduri and Rinku, who want to test the unknown waters. Even when they set out to prove their worth, their love for their near and dear ones happens to be the driving force. I think it is the middle-class values that we have grown up with makes Fatafati different from the films made today --- soul-less and definitely not their heart at the right places. I have seen the film with my entire family and came home loving them a lot more.

"Fatafati" is actually a fatafati film!!!!

Khub e shundor ebong ekti mon chuye jawa film......darun puro.... I would suggest everyone out there to watch the film as many times as they can without even getting bored.... Lots n lots of good wishes and a great thanks to the entire team of Fatafati for presenting such a stupendous film in the tollywood industry.... Really loved it.......and enjoyed every bit of the film..... Khub e notun dhoroner and sobh dik thekei ekta perfect film......it's a great one.....and spreads a lot of deep messages to the society.... Hats off to each n every members of the film be it the cast and crew both...for making such a brilliant movie... This film is an actual emotion to it's viewers....really loved it....

A story of a tailor of an outlying district of a city with a gifted sense of design. So many times she is ridiculed for her heavy weight . But she is keep going on and on . She never stopped. Moving on her path despite of every criticisms . Proved herself as a fashion influencer. This wonderful concept strikes my mind. Windows production house never disappointed us. Each and every time brings comes with new content. Fatafati really a great movie. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew for this beautiful mind boggling, overwhelming. Ritabhari, Abir, Sastika, Soma ma'am have done blowing performance. Director Aritra Mukherjee needs huge round of applause. Shiboprasad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy thank you.

Fatafati (2023) Streaming on SonyLiv

"Fatafati (2023)" is now streaming on SonyLiv. I've eagerly awaited this film from "Windows Production", a production house I admire.

As someone from a small town in western India, I was keen on its OTT release.

The movie brilliantly addresses the topical issue of body shaming. With its relatable storyline, from the love story of Bachospoti and Phullora to Biki's arrogant remarks and the depiction of driven homemakers, it resonates with everyday experiences.

The performances, dialogues, and songs are impeccably executed, culminating in a memorable final line.

Overall, the film strikes a perfect balance.

My biggest takeaway from the film is the romance between Phullora and Bachospoti Bhaduri, played by Ritabhari Chakraborty and Abir Chatterjee. Their daily exchanges were so real, particularly where they talk over the phone about the distribution of the monthly income; there was nothing forced. They looked every bit in love, enjoying the conjugal bliss, where having little money is not a problem anymore. No one was singing or dancing around trees unnecessarily. There was no forced humour, below the belt jokes, talking lowly about marriage, as it is not a slapstick comedy. It tugged at the heartstrings and also, I saw the audience laughing and crying with Bikki Sen (Swastika Dutta), Behula, Gogol, Arunadi, Seema boudi and the rest. People outside Star Theatre, where I watched the film, were screaming the film's now-famous tagline: 'Amra mota hote pari kintu amader jibonta motamuti noy, fatafati'. What a beautiful story it is!

This is a brilliant movie with a great message . Body shaming is an offense as it affects a person psychologically. Phullora's story is an example of how one should ignore all the comments regarding one's shape and size and concentrate on his/her work. Success is the best answer to all sorts of criticism. It is high time that we, as responsible citizens should stop all these. The film entails some heart touching performance by the lead artists and is a family entertainment. It's essential to encourage Bengali movies of this kind because it does not promote any negative idea. Go and watch Fatafati and recommend it to all your friends and family. This film gives a positive message which is absolutely essential for today's youth.
