Khoobsurat - Movie Reviews
Funny and entertaining young romance
HussainDirector: Shashanka GhoshThe Disney logo at the start of Khoobsurat is a telling sign of what to expect from the film. This isn’t so much a remake of the Hrishikesh Mukherjee-directed comedy starring Rekha, as it is a squeaky-clean chick-flick from
Sadly, Shashanka displays none of the eccentric creativity that we saw in his earlier films, though he does create moments of charm.
I'm going with three out of five. It may not be for everyone, but for those who seek comfort in the familiar, it's a pretty satisfying watch.
Bollywood fashion queen Sonam is no match for the Pakistani heartthrob, reducing what could’ve become a fun chick-flick into something mediocre

An uptight royal home that runs on overwhelming discipline, and a free-spirited person that comes in to upset the apple cart. What's not to like, right?The wheelchair-bound King (Aamir Raza Hussain) has a new physiotherapist Dr. Mrinalini (Sonam Kapoor),
Khoobsurat isn’t for people who don’t have the appetite for romantic comedies or who aren’t fairytale believers
Khoobsurat offers up the expected -- only it does so with a smirk, says Raja Sen.Some movies are like candy. Wrapped in bright plastic and frequently too sweet for your own good, they act as sunny, unsurprising treats that lead to sticky, syrupy smiles. D
Almost every fairy tale we had read in our childhood, got its cinematic avatar with help of one of the worlds top most production house 'Disney'
Who doesn’t know that remakes of movie classics can be seriously risky business?

Yet again, we remind you. Do not compare Khoobsoorat with Khoobsurat. Although the modern version has borrowed the main backdrop from the original, the film is made on an altogether different plateau

Though on the whole she is endearing, an uninhibited and wacky portrayal of a misfit would have left a lasting impression on the viewers…

From poorly-established families to a lack of a proper climax to the film, the script of Khoobsurat proves to be a pain

This review intentionally makes no comparison of Khoobsurat with its namesake which is a par excellence classic of Hrishikesh MukherjeeWhen you have a larger than life personality offscreen you films will undoubtedly suffer from preconceived notions that

Disney’s first Bollywood dream is a mediocre makeover of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s 1980’s classic of the same name starring the eternal Rekha (in one of her most celebrated role). Clearly missing the ‘Magic’ Hrishida and Rekha created in the original and Disney is hoping for in its first Bollywood run.

Shashanka Ghosh's remake of Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Khoobsurat, starring Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan, hits theatres on Friday. Despite decent performances from Pak actor Fawad Khan and Kirron Kher's Punjabi mom-act, the film is not worth your time.

Khoobsurat is pretty much like Sonam Kapoor and her collection of bags, clothes and shoes --- feel good, easy, breezy, gorgeous and inoffensive. Watch it once. It won’t hurt.

Do not expect anything new and you will not be disappointed. This remake of a Hrishikesh Mukherjee film is contemporised for today's generation and has a chick-flick written all over it.
