Khoobsurat (2014)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Watched the movie recently and absolutely loved it. It's a wonderful fairy tale. Well sketched out lovable characters, some good acting, enjoyable songs. I especially loved fawad Khan!! When he comes on screen it's hard to take ur eyes off him. And that voice!! Wish there was more of him in the film. Sonam was fit for her role. Kiron Khers performance was good too. She brings the funny quotient to the film. The rest of the supporting cast fit into their roles perfectly Watch it if ur looking for light hearted entertainment. It's a perfect fairytale. Off the songs the maa ka phone ones stuck in my head :-). Naina is another lovely number.

After seeing him in a couple of Pakistani TV serial movies 'Humsafar' and 'Zindagi Gulzar Hai'on Zindagi Channel I went to see Fawad Khan in his debut movie, Khoobsurat. Frankly, one was highly disappointed, not with Fawad Khan but the movie as a whole. You cannot expect much from a talented actor if none of the other actors seem to fit in their roles. The plot is half-baked, half taken from 1963 B/W movie 'Aaj aur Kal' where Sunil Dutt is physiotherapist come to cure the wheel chair princess Nanda and Ashok Kumar playing the Maharaja, and half taken from the movie of the same name in the '80s. So Sonam Kapoor has to fill into the shoes of the main character of not one but two movies from the classical era. The screenplay is weak and with that everything seems contrived from the very first scene. Perhaps the physiotherapists of the cricketing fraternity need a lesson or two from Sonam on how to send hurt players back into the game and win matches. And within this framework where does Fawad Khan fit in? With only 15 minutes to spend with the wheelchair maharajah Sonam needs some form of distraction and Fawad provides as the reticent prince almost like an extra. The lack of chemistry between the lead players at no stage stirs any emotion in the viewer. Shashank Ghosh as a director needs to understand that a movie is not an ad where the models are plastic images but needs a lot more to capture the viewer's imagination. In the end, one is almost left to feel that Fawad is there to attract people to the movie hall to see the real protagonist, Sonam Kapoor. Not once is he truly asked to display the brilliance he showed in the Zindagi channel serials. The only redeeming factor of the movie is that the palace looks like a place. As far as the music is concerned, thankfully the background music remains in the background and the dialogues and lyrics of the songs are clearly audible. Overall, the movie fails to rise above average at any point.

After a sometime now...have seen a movie which makes u feel good about it.I am not a huge fan of sonam, but she performs well here so as fawad .He fits to the role perfectly.The other actor are good to there roles.The movie is a feel good movie doesn't bore atall.....loved it!!! The music is good and background score is superb....there are some really good moments in the movie which makes it worth a watch....hope these kind of movies come along.ZNMD was last movie which comes to category of feel good movies....if u want to have 2hrs of good time then this is movie.Hope to see these kind of movies.............cheers .....

What is wrong with this movie? Nothing particularly. Its light hearted. It has some good star cast, both Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan look great. Music is interesting and supports the story line. The storyline is clichéd but thats okay. But then ? The problem exists how the final product has been served. Over the top acting (Kirron Kher needs to take a break and focus on politics for all our sake), lackluster screenplay (I zoned out several times during the movie), unbelievable subplots, extensive stereotyping of Delhi/punjabi families and really really poor dialogues.Recommend avoiding it..
