A story about a young, relatively healthy man’s struggle to come to terms with a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis may not exactly be the right choice for a commercial entertainer. Diabetes, after all, is not a disease, but a condition that can be controlled with the right lifestyle choices, so we’ve been told – something that is also repeatedly brought up in Sugarless. And yet, when protagonist Venky gets this ‘devastating’ piece of news, everyone around him behaves like he’s got a deadly communicable disease. Hell, even his wife cannot digest the deception and decides to leave him. What Sugarless lacks is sensitivity about the subject at hand and that is also because Shashidhar has chosen to present it as a comedy drama.
