Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Rhea dsouza Watched the movie recently and absolutely loved it. It's a wonderful fairy tale. Well sketched out lovable characters, some good acting, enjoyable songs. I especially loved fawad Khan!! When he comes on screen it's hard to take ur eyes off him. And that voice!! Wish there was more of him in the film. Sonam was fit for her role. Kiron Khers performance was good too. She brings the funny quotient to the film. The rest of the supporting cast fit into their roles perfectly Watch it if ur looking for light hearted entertainment. It's a perfect fairytale. Off the songs the maa ka phone ones stuck in my head :-). Naina is another lovely number.

DareDevilKid Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.8/5 starsWalt Disney, never a stranger to princesses, crowns another as it ventures further into Bollywood with Shashanka Ghosh's romantic confection, "Khoobsurat" – a variation on Hrishikesh Mukherjee's 1980 film of the same name. And the studio's specialty proves a pretty good fit.Mili Chakravarty (Sonam Kapoor) is a high-energy, middle-class, and somewhat daffy physiotherapist for an IPL cricket team when she is hired by an aristocratic family near Jaipur to rehabilitate its patriarch (Aamir Raza Hussain), who's been using a wheelchair for years. His son, Vikram (the heavy-lidded Pakistani heartthrob, Fawad Afzal Khan), a shrewd businessman, is not only engaged to a woman of his economic station but is also monitored by his imperious, upper- crust mother (Ratna Pathak Shah). The brash, often clumsy Mili, in her mixed-pattern ensembles, descends on their estate like a tornado, bumping into statuary, dancing with the servants and winning hearts, especially Vikram's.Anne Hathaway made a splash in Disney's, "The Princess Diaries," and the rangy Ms. Kapoor (who descends from a Bollywood dynasty) shares some of her early incandescence, along with a Julia Roberts-like smile. Khan wisely underplays against her supernova, never trying to eclipse her. Kiron Kher is her usual rambunctious, affable self while Ratna Pathak Shah impeccably reiterates her famous character of Maya Sarabhai from the small-screen. Aamir Raza Hussain clearly should be offered plenty more film roles.Bollywood films have appropriated Hollywood tales and imagery for years, but Mr. Ghosh, using a pleasing pastel palette, deftly achieves a particularly Disney-like polish. And he avoids making-of- a-royal pitfalls: Ms. Kapoor's character never abandons her humor for refinement. Twice, Mili says that she was raised to speak up for herself. Not a bad characteristic for a future Rajput princess."Khoobsurat" turns out to be that extremely rare remake that's actually better than the original (as good as Hrishikesh Mukhergee's film was, Ghosh's retelling surprisingly manages to better it ever- so- slightly with renewed verve, zest, and infectious zaniness). And even though Sonam isn't even a shade as terrific as Rekha was, she still breathes new life into the story and holds her own in this remake. This one goes down as one of the better rom-coms of Bollywood.

silvan-desouza Khoobsurat(1980) was a cult film of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and it's still remembered as one of the best comedies of 80s. It's remake is set in Modern era, unlike it's original it lacks simplicity but yet it's a quite a watchable fare. The film is produced by Disney and Rhea/Anil Kapoor making it another home production to help Sonam Kapoor in her career. The film has her hogging the frame throughout no doubt,However it isn't that bad a film. The film is more an adaptation, here the story is changed, Rekha's character is changed to a psychoterapist and lot more changes, the setting is changed to a Rajput family. However the impact is reduced due to it's predictability and also at times it gets sluggish especially in second half.The end could be betterDirection is decent Music is okaySonam Kapoor does her part well, though not comparing her to Rekha yet she plays her part well, Fawad is superb in his Hindi debut Ratna Pathak Shah plays the role her mother played in the original and she does well,Kirron Kher repeats her act, while others are all good

parthanandi2011 Sonam/Fawad's Khoobsurat will stole your heart because of its good acting, fresh and quirky dialogues, and a nice gorgeous set...Mili Chakroborty, enters into a royal family, controlled by a strict disciplined Maharani(Ratna Pathak Shah), to treat her grieving husband in wheel chair. Though According to her the young Prince is Khadus(Fawad Khan), but how she gelled up and become a part of this over disciplined Family, is Khoobsorat all about...Good Points: 1) Acting- Sonam as Mili is a treat to watch, Simple, bubbly, carefree Sonam, maturing as an actor and was quite convincing. She looked gorgeous in every costume, Her Portrayal was so simple, that you will fall in love with Mili...And the way she delivered Dialouges were utterly Cute.. Kiron Kher as Manju is a typical punjabi lady who never thinks twice before using any damn word..Her comic timing was perfect and she was the life of the entire movie. She carried the role so perfectly as if it was made for her, wonderful actress she is. her conversation with Mili will tickle you again and again. A Desirable mom... Ratna Pathak Shah, as usual a perfect choice for a Sophisticated, well dressed , discipline freak, Strict Maharani...Her expression, her way of Saying 'ANTIQUE' is so perfect, She was a perfect contrast for Kiron Kher.. Fawad Khan, Handsome, perfect expression, Subtle acting are some words that will describe the actor from over the border..He was perfect as a prince...who tried to control her lust/love for Mili throughout the movie in a Strict and Sophisticated way...ha ha ..funny...his mute conversations with Mili were one of those many funny parts... Aditi Hayderi, Pretty as hell..2)Dialouges: The charm of the entire movie were dialouges...they were perfect, full of one liner punches, ticklish and fresh...they will keep you involved throughout the movie3) Background: one of the best Set I have seen in recent time movies...it was remarkable and mesmerizing..4) Music: each and every Score are good and perfect for every situation...engine ki seeti and maa ka phone are funny and fab..5) Costumes: Oh my my... Pretty Pretty Pretty..Bad Points: The story was predictable and was loosing its pace in the second half for around 15-16 minutes...U can seriously Go and watch it and will come out laughing....
