Club Zero follows the story of a protagonist who joins the staff of an International boarding school to teach a conscious eating class. Soon all her students reduce their food consumption that eventually raises alarm bells with their parents and the school authorities. The story here had all the imgredients to be a lip-smacking satire dealing with different topics of size zero or veganism. Yet the final product seemed to be quite pretentious and bland given that the same moments were repeated right throughout. The screenplay standing at a 110 minutes is bland and uneventful that ruins a potential subject in a tale that needed to be told. 

The drama opens with the introduction of the protagonist who is addressing her small class to teach them the concept of conscious eating habits. The response of the students is timid but positive, with each one of them providing a reason for them to join the class. You could sense a streak of passion in a few of them which does set the tone of the drama pretty well. But unfortunately, it all goes downhill from there. There is a sense of absurdist humour which is infused in the narrative but it doesn’t quite compliment the actions of the characters. In fact, the events are so extreme that the drama becomes hard to digest. 

The proceedings are bland and far too repetitive for my liking. I just felt that the writers may have undergone a writers’ block with the drama. As a result, the events seemed to get extremely repetitive and weird while just intensifying the proceedings. There ought to have been moments created which would have acted as a hook for the viewers to be sucked into the drama. But unfortunately for the film, the drama moves at the same wavelength that ultimately leads to its downfall. The drama does find its mojo in the final act, and I really liked how the drama had ended too with a character breaking the fourth wall. But the film needed more of it right throughout its narrative.
