Fatso Movie Review

Fatso (Hindi)

Release Date:
May 04, 2012

Nandini and Navin are about to get married when disaster strikes. Navin and his friends, a hugely overweight Sudeep and Yash, go out to celebrate. An accident occurs on the highway and Navin is dead.

Navin wakes up in heaven and discovers to his horror that it was a clerical error that had landed him in heaven. The man actually destined to be there was fat Sudeep with his cholesterol on overdrive! Navin makes a scene in the overcrowded waiting room of heaven and demands that he be returned to earth, and to his loved ones.

This film is about how Navin returns to earth and has to woo Nandini all over again in another guise.

A delightful take on love, life, romance and the occasional accident of death.

Fatso never exploits its full potential, and opts for a far-too-convenient resolution

Leaves you curiously unmoved and strangely untouched. It has the feel of a TV drama, not a big screen feature

Fatso strives for funny-poignant, the right combination of which can make a film like this memorable, but manages it in too few places

Indian Express

Fatso is somewhat short on body but strong on spirit. Keeping mind over matter, this film is an enjoyable experience!

Times of India

The lack of a cohesive telling, the digressive nature of the story may not work for everyone. Still, for its performances and ingenuity, give Fatso a chance.

Mumbai Mirror

The film squanders the most potentially thrilling aspects of the idea and leaves us with something half-baked

Rediff

Fatso is a bit of a disappointment. Even when it’s making us laugh, it feels like there’s something hollow at the centre

Firstpost

Any sense of magic, of life rescued from death, love saved from vanishing, even the funny ironies of a slim guy stuck in a fat form, is totally missing

Times of India

Fatso is a romantic comedy with lots of romance and only sporadic comedy

Fatso is a good plot gone bad. The film could've worked well if the execution of it may have been better

nowrunning

Appeals in bits and spurts. It had the potential, but doesn't quite reach there!
