Khoobsurat (2014)

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 movie

3) 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....

Fmovies: Many would agree to the fact that this was one particular film which everyone was expecting to be a pretty bad remake of the famous Hrishikesh Mukherjee-Rekha classic having the same title (with different spellings) released in 1980.

But surprisingly that is not the case since the film is not at all a straight remake of the 80s path breaking film from any angle. And the major argument behind this declaration is that Hrishi Da's script was actually about a young energetic girl entering into the house of her newly-wed elder sister and dealing with her strict mother-in-law running the house with her own self-dictated discipline. Whereas the present 2014 official version is about a physiotherapy doctor visiting her client's royal mansion in Rajasthan, looked after by a strict mother and her young son, instead of her old disabled husband.

So where the original was about the in-laws and the new big family where an elder sister has been married in, the latter is about a completely stranger family and that too of only 4 members, without any traditional values to be taken care of other than the professional ethics of a doctor. And anyone living in India can easily understand that how difficult and different a script becomes when you are talking about the elder sister's in-laws confronted by the younger sister visiting the house for a few days in comparison of a doctor staying in her patient's mansion taking it as a professional assignment.

Hence clearing all doubts, Hrishi Da's unforgettable gem KHUBSOORAT stays untouched excelling in its own distinctive theme and Shashank Ghosh's current venture just revolves around the same basic plot but doesn't copy any of the original film sequences as it is, despite being an official version.

Moving over the remake status, the film begins interestingly with the elegant Fawad Khan and the hyper and ever-smiling (overdoing it) Sonam Kapoor as the (too) young physiotherapy doctor. It keeps moving at a good pace with an all likable feel before the interval and has only two avoidable, filmy sequences to put you off in its initial half. The first one is the below average and cheap song sequence of "Engine Ki Seeti" and the other is a ridiculous kidnapping scene which contributes just nothing. Still the overall enjoyable mood and few light comic moments manage to keep you engrossed and one forgets these pretty weak, silly insertions as it moves further.

Post interval the only factor which goes against the movie is that even if you haven't seen the original, you still exactly know what's going to happen next. But again this demerit of an all predictable progression gets smartly covered by two fine performances by Fawad Khan and Aamir Raza Hussain superbly along with few immensely likable, innovative songs composed well. Also the film gets a great support from its final 20 minutes which do have a killer scene between Fawad and Kirron Kher. And therefore what you take back home while moving out of the theater is a smile with 'no complaints' kind of feel despite having watched an all predictable film right from the word go.

Speaking specifically this is not a Sonam Kapoor film like the original was a Rekhamovie all the way. The new age version is more of a collective effort with some very important contributions coming from Fawad Khan, Aamir Raza Hussain, Kiron Kher and above all the intelligent, innovative background score which keeps the energy flowing. Few enjoyable sequences and entertaining dialogues of

Honestly I don't like Sonam Kapoor. And that was why I put it off even though I had this movie on my pen drive since ages. Out of boredom I've decided to give it a try. And it was definitely worth it. I won't comment about Sonam's acting skills. But other than that, the movie was a really good one. Never a dull moment. All the scenes were well balanced. Comedy was well brought out. A few people say it doesn't portray the classic well, but fun is there if all the movies are made alike. The title itself tells about the 'misfit' part. Sonam might be a troll when it comes to acting, but one should agree she's got a good fashion sense. Finally, its definitely worth a watch.

Khoobsurat fmovies. We went to watch it last night & had really good time. I don't understand the bad reviews about this film as it is way better than some of the over-rated bollywood flicks. I am from UK & enjoy watching foreign movies too & am used to reading the subtitles. It was a recommendation from a friend so we went together to the theatre & I was pleasantly surprised at how this movie managed to keep me entertained from start to finish.

Fawad Khan I believe is a new actor as I can't remember seeing him in another movie before. Neither have I seen Sonam Kapoor in many films in the past. Definitely a quality new entry in the industry, keep up the good work.

I emphasize on this again I really can't see why there are some negative reviews, probably they were in a bad mood or having a bad day I guess..... My suggestion is if you are thinking of watching it its better to watch it in the cinema as its such a magical fun ride with some good songs, well at least I enjoyed. Sonam Kapoor is a gorgeous young lady absolutely beautiful & I hope we will see her in more quality productions like this one. When I go to a theatre & come out in the end with a massive smile on my face that means I really had a good time & Khoobsurat made me do that.

My rating a solid 9.5/10 Have Fun!

I watched this movie not just because my wife wanted to watch it, but also because it is a Disney Production. This fairytale has enough punches and turns to keep you interested and aligned with the story. It lives up to the expectations of audience by including a number of activities and events that are known to all of us. For instance, some of the hobbies and postures used by the protagonists are funny yet common.

I liked the set up and all the actors played their characters well. The USP of this movie for me is the fact that it connects with you in no time and then maintains it till the end.

It is the best movie i have seen in whole year :) Very nice story, good songs, best acting by all actors specially my most favourite sonam kapoor and yes off course by Fawad khan :) A warn welcome to one more khan in Bollywood. I know you will rock bollywood with you amazing acting skills and best looks. All locations are very well selected and everything seems to be in order. The director of this movie must have worked so hard to make such an amazing movie. I'll give this movie 10 out of 10. I am sure everyone here will agree with me on this rating. ENJOYED A lot WATCHING THIS GREAT COMEDY + ROMANTIC MOVIE WITH MY Fiancé :) BEST FEELING IN WHOLE WORLD :D I recommend all of you to go watch this movie and have a great time with your beloved ones.
