Why does this story matter?
The magnum opus Brahmastra broke the failure streak that Bollywood was on.
However, films that came after the mega-budgeter did not make a mark at the box office.
In order to keep the audience encouraged to go to the cinema halls, it is important for the new films to perform well.
And audience's word-of-mouth reviews play a major role in film collections.

A fan's review of 'Double XL'
#DoubleXL a poor excecution on a sensible topic which pivots mainly away from the straight forward matter of the movie, this movie was rejected by the otts intially because of this in my opinion a aimless screenplay overall is a big let down for the movie as a whole
