Khoobsurat Movie Review: Watch If You're Into Chick Flicks

Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan starrer Khoobsurat has been one of the most awaited movies for all the buzz that the movie has been creating.

Being a remake of Rekha's 1980 movie by the same name, Khoobsurat claimed much attention as to whether Sonam Kapoor will be able to match the excellence of the legendary actress Rekha or end up being another Bewakoofiyaan.

Well, as a tip-off from our reviewer from the film premier, the movie Khoobsurat directed by Shashanka Ghosh is most likely to impress and delight the kids. Produced by Disney, Sonam Kapoor's Khoobsurat appears to be a little too much colourful.

While the original version of the film featuring Rekha offered a much more sensible and an all-round performed flick, Sonam Kapoor's Khoobsurat appeared more or less average. The movie seemed all in all a Sonam Kapoor film with nothing much left for the other actors to do.

However, Ratna Pathak and Kirron Kher offered some hilarious moments, Fawad Khan who plays the Royal Prince had nothing much to offer other than having a serious look on his face.

To talk about the story, Sonam Kapoor as Dr. Mili (physiotherapist) gets a call from the Royal abode to cure Fawad Khan's father who suffers from some physical disorder. Ratna Pathak plays Fawad Khan's mother and the actress had very limited scope to exhibit her talent. Kirron Kher appears as Sonam Kapoor's mother who added most of the fun to the film. Sonam Kapoor shows that she is a mismatch in the family in all possible ways.

In the course of time, Sonam Kapoor who otherwise is a complete misfit in regard to the Royal etiquette falls in love with Fawad Khan. Sonam and Fawad's chemistry was good but to know what happens to the love story, you will have to watch the film.

Although Khoobsurat is hard to impress the audience (except below 16), the second half of the movie seemed interesting as compared to the first half.

Khoobsurat will not disappoint you only if you have never watched Rekha's version of the film.

Sonam Kapoor

The film focused a lot on Sonam Kapoor's attire and looks rather than her acting.

Sonam Kapoor-Fawad Khan

One of the few positive aspects from the movie is the chemistry between Sonam and Fawad, however that also could not lift the movie to reach its expectations.

Sonam Kapoor Too Colourful

Being produced by Disney, the film seemed to be way too colourful in terms of the presentation and characters, which makes us believe that the film is more for the kids.

Ratna Pathak

Ratna Pathak is one talented actress who unfortunately was given very limited scope to display her brilliant comic timing. However, the actress did well in whatever scope she had.

Kirron Kher

Kirron Kher can be called the saviour of the film, if at all it survives, as she offered some funny moments, thanks to her amazing comic timing.

Fawad Khan

Although Fawad Khan has already proved his mettle as an actor, the film Khoobsurat did not offer this Pakistani actor much in the area of expressions, other than wearing a serious look. However, he did justice to his role.

Sonam-Fawad

Although all the characters were okay in their performance, the main drawback is the story telling. When you are making a remake of an already hit flick that too having an actress like Rekha, the director should have been extra cautious about the plot and presentation.

Sonam With Fawad

All in all, Shashanka Ghosh's Khoobsurat can be a one-time watch. But be aware, comparisons with Rekha's version will surely disappoint you.
