Tragically enough, the film doesn't stick to the guns the concept inherently offers. The basic idea is a fine one, offering both room for smart humour and murky moral ambiguity, but while Kapoor and his (mostly) competent cast sharply enough conjure up some smiling moments, the film squanders the most potentially thrilling aspects of the idea and leaves us with something half-baked. Things fall into place with ridiculous convenience at the end and yet Ranvir, with a bizarrely breathless soliloquy on loving life, more or less saves the moment.It's a fine performance, and one that deserved a better script around it.
Critic Score: 2/5

The beautiful love story of Naveen and Nandini hits rock bottom, when Naveen meets with an accident and dies on the spot. But, thankfully, his soul gets the golden opportunity to comeback, as the modern day Yamraj picks him up instead of his fatso friend Sudeep , who actually had to bid good bye to life. As Naveen's body is burnt to ashes, the only way he can return to his sweetheart is by getting into Sudeep's body, who ought to die. Will Nandini recognise Naveen, who's entered Sudeep's body is the rest of the story! The overtly dragged screenplay further does the needful to bore one to death. Direction is the only saving grace for the film, as Rajat Kapoor intelligently tackles the bizarre plot. Fatso rides on the shoulders of Rajat Kapoor's direction and Ranvir Shorey's performance. A confusing screenplay, poor writing and music and impactless dialogues leave Fatso in a very uncomfortable position. Overall, Fatso falls flat in its narrative, which makes it a dull affair. It's strictly a one time watch.
Critic Score: 2/5
