Featured reviews
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.
Review By Kamal K
The directing, acting, songs, and dancing tie up together so well it makes the movie memorable. This rom-com is Rakesh and Rekha's best film together. It's always a pleasure to watch Hrishikesh Mukherjee movies. One of its kind and a gem movie. Must watch for audience's of all ages.

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

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. 😀
One who said "Old is gold", maybe said the best thing in the entire life. This is so true in terms of books and movies. I am a great fan of old school things. My friends sometimes called me dramatic for this, as these things are so uncool for 90's kids. But whatever for me, old movies are the best. Today's movies are good too, but old movies are really very special. They will give you the pure entertainment. They are so related too life, they are so real.
This movie is too sweet. You won't need to wear a fake smile while watching it. A smile will come on your face automatically. Each and every character was so beautiful. A cute family has been created so beautifully by Hrishikesh Mukherjee that everyone desires to tell but nobody tells. This movie is remade but that was so awful. I don't know why the new one is made? It was not at all necessary.
I loved this movie and I will explore lots of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's creations in the future hopefully.
