Oh great, yet another fat-suit movie! The producer, who also plays the main character, even admits that she was inspired by the movie Norbit.
"At a time when obesity is on the rise in our country, Trupti Bhoir comes up with a unique theme through her latest film 'Agadbam'. Aptly titled, the film talks about the strange happenings in the life of an obese girl Najuka weighing 250 kgs with a huge structure. Najuka's father has fixed her marriage while she was a child to his friend's son and it's a commitment given to a priest in the temple of Lord Lingoba.
When the communication is reached between the two parties after so many years reminding each other about the promise, the stage is set to get Najuka married to late Devkule's son Raiba, who is not allowed to see the bride, as per the tradition. Raiba, who is otherwise desperate to get married, agrees to marry Najuka with this condition. But, when he finds Najuka in her real shape, he starts hating her. Though Najuka wins the heart of her Mother-in-law and Grand Mother-in-law; with her good nature; she fails to win over her husband."
For those interested, here's a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=befHUNinhhA&feature=fvw

My first reaction is one of almost total disgust. Another movie along the line of Shallow Hal and Norbit, filled with fat jokes and a main character in a fat suit.
What do y'all think?
