Khoobsurat

Khubsoorat!!!!! If you are looking for a pleasant 2 hours - this 1 is for you. Plot Review: Its a simple movie portraying what happens when the heroine a happy go lucky Doctor who is completely alien to discipline and formalities sets foot in a orthodox royal family where we have the hero. Acting: Sonam Kapoor is brilliant and Fawad Khan has the royal looks & complements Kapoor, Kiron Kher is a character as usual with a good supporting cast led by ratna pathak.

Pros: Its the Grandeur,photography and soft background music that makes this movie a 2 hour totally pleasant journey. Cons: Lack of intensity, but then its a mandatory ingredient & hence cant really be considered a con.

Loosely based on the 1980 film by the same name, 'Khoobsurat' is a decent, breezy watch, that has something for the romantics. Its not flawless, by any means, but it benefits from good direction & impressive performances.

'Khoobsurat' Synopsis: A hopelessly romantic physiotherapist meets a handsome young Rajput prince who is the complete opposite of her and engaged to someone else.

'Khoobsurat' is a light-hearted, simple romantic-comedy, about simple characters, under circumstances of their own. Indira Bisht's Screenplay is nicely written, although the pace in the second-hour begins to lose. Also, 'Khoobsurat' overstays its welcome by at least 20-minutes. Some trimming, was strongly needed.

Shashanka Ghosh's Direction is good. Cinematography is well-crafted. Editing is a weak link. The film is loose, at times. Music by Sneha Khanwalkar & Badshah is fantastic.

Performance-Wise: Sonam Kapoor looks gorgeous & fits the role well, however, she's mechanical in scenes that demand her to flaunt her comedic side. Fawad Khan is wonderful, enacting his part with dignity & control. Ratna Pathak Shah is terrific, but its Kirron Kher who steals the show, with an electric performance. Aamir Raza Hussain deserves a special mention. He's first-rate!

On the whole, 'Khoobsurat' has its own charm, indeed!

I am a die hard Fawad Khan fan and watch anything he stars in. That being said, I must admit that this movie had its high points and low points. I could not help but think as I watched the film that it was too western in orientation for its audience and therefore a misfit in Indian cinema; it was so very disappointing! I gave it a seven because I am a fan of both Fawad Khan and Kirron Kher. This film was a waste of these two powerful actors talent.

Khoobsurat is one of Sonam Kapoor's best performances. It is about a happy-go-lucky physiotherapist who comes to a royal family's house to treat the family patriarch. How she treats her patient and interacts with the family is the rest of the story. Sonam Kapoor plays the bubbly Dr. Milli Chakravarty with ease. Her mannerisms and actions are absolutely hilarious and make this film a treat to watch. Today she is known more as a fashionista than as an actress. I believe this film will start to make everyone see her as a leading lady. Fawad Khan, who is a well known actor in Pakistani Cinema and Television, is great in his debut. He seems confident and he compliments Sonam Kapoor very well. His performance as the disciplined Vikram Rathore is something to watch out for. Ratna Pathak and Kirron Kher are great in their supporting roles and do not go unnoticed in the film. Overall this film is funny, romantic and makes a great date night movie. This film was not talked about as much as other films such as Haider and Queen, but I believe it should be because I think it is one of the top 10 movies of 2014. Catch it whenever you can and you will enjoy the film.

Though I don't like Sonam Kapoor as an actress but I like her in this film and Neerja. It was fun film and nice light comedy.
