Rating: 3/5
Genre: Humour, Slice of Life, Marriage, Melodrama,

Samaah narrates a humorous, witty and honest encounter of a 25 year old girl in her marriage hunt. Madhurima is far from being an ideal bride when she's 93 kilograms in weight. Her family believes that her age for marriage is ideal, but the hunt for perfect groom isn't easy.
The writer illustrates true family biases towards fat girls. The story deals with Orthodox idealism of slim and fair brides and fat shaming. She also makes us realize how easy it is judge others, instead of understanding their perspective. The story takes us in a witty, realistic ride towards the life of a young fat girl in her marriage prospect and the problems she deals in a biased Indian society.
The author also makes us understand that not only girls are judged, but guys are too. Madhurima judges Harsh for being shy and introvert, even though she herself hates to be judged by others because of her body size.
Madhurima's encounter with Harsh seems like a true and real life fairy tale, but we should not forget how Dr. Marwah acts like a catalyst in this love story...… (plus d'informations)
