Khubsoorat

This is movie from a different era - reminds you of the times when the values were different. Joint family and obeying elders were the norm and individuality would take a back seat. Rekha challenges the joint family rules and brings in a fresh breath of life to the stifled family members. Values and lifestyles are changing, albeit slowly, and this movie reminds you of the days when you had fun with such simple things

Rekha and all the cast members do an excellent job in this movie. The characterization is such that you get to know every member of the family. This is one of the best of the simple clean movies of 80's

This movie is what I call a must-watch. While it is very natural in its presentation it gives a strong message as well. With all the talk of love and freedom today it becomes even more important to see this movie which goes a step beyond and puts freedom and love in their true perspective - no freedom comes without a sense of responsibility; love alone is not enough, one needs to realize the responsibility that comes with it. This simple but profound wisdom is conveyed with great spontaneity. The movie also teaches about the thin line between rules that help and rules that are uncomfortably binding. All this in one funny, homely three hour package that is a very wholesome entertainer. Absolutely beautiful!

Another superb family movie from Hrishikesh Mukherjee.The story revolves around a family strictly bounded by rules and regulations implemented by their mother (Dina Pathak).Then Rekha enters in this family and the real fun begins.This is one of the best movies of Rekha and she gave her finest performance in this movie. The other supportive cast is superb, Ashok Kumar appears in the role of a lovable father who knows how to enjoy the life. Rakesh Roshan also fits in his role of an obedient son who falls in love with Rekha. Ranjit Chowdhary has the role of a teenager boy and he gave the full justice to it. In brief, KHUBSOORAT is a complete family entertainment and I recommend this film to everyone from kids to adults.

This film is one of my favorites. It's funny, touching, romantic, and pulls you in. It's a light, but well written story about a clash between a young woman who is a free spirit and her sister's mother in law who has lots of strict rules. Well written and believable characters and good conflict. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious. The musical numbers are imaginative, though the songs are not the best. The characters drive the story and keep you interested. You care what happens to them. I wish they had made a sequel because I want to see more of these characters and find out what happens next.

Trust Hrishi da to craft a tale of two clashing personalities, put together a talented supporting cast, witty dialogues and present "Khoobsurat". Dina ji & Rekha ji shine as two diagonally opposite personalities and stand their ground, without overshadowing eachother. Brilliant Dada Moni is the eternal peacemaker in this family comedy. Ranjit Chowdhury deserves special mention as he effortlessly slips into the role of music crazy youngster. This Khoobsurat, this era if clean family comedy cannot be recreated. It's a classic. 😀
