Sadly, Shashanka displays none of the eccentric creativity that we saw in his earlier films, though he does create moments of charm.

…we aren’t suggesting you should waste time and money on the movie unless you are indifferent to the lack of Sonam’s acting skills and an overall lowering of standards for wits and jokes.

Looks like Khoobsurat is for the multiplex audience but I’m not sure if today’s generation will enjoy a dull show like this one.

KHOOBSURAT is likeable in parts with good performances and stunning visuals; however the weak script is an ‘ugly’ hurdle this film will face at the box-office.

Do not expect anything new and you will not be disappointed. This remake of a Hrishikesh Mukherjee film is contemporised for today’s generation and has a chick-flick written all over it.

You can’t completely write-off the film, it’s a one time watch if you have nothing to do this weekend. In fact, Kirron Kher, despite her repetitive acting, is still very entertaining throughout the film. Presence of Fawad Khan will definetly drag her female fans to the theater. Rest, Sonam Kapoor’s fans will get what they expect from her.

To be fair, I’m not the target group for this movie. It’s probably aimed at audiences aged 14 or 15 or under (whether mentally or chronologically). All I could do was wonder what was getting on my nerves more: screechy Sonam’s over-acting or a terribly underwhelming story-line. Now that’s a tough call.

Khoobsurat is an entertaining and fun film. Though it might not measure up to the standards of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s classic, this fairytale might charm you. It’s not always that we get to see a vivacious princess in Bollywood.

‘Khoobsurat’ is nothing but a high gloss mediocre update to Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s 1980’s classic. If a romcom was the intention then why touch a Hrishida’s classic is the question.

Khoobsurat is a film that could have been infinitely worse if not for its supporting cast, cosmetically enhanced mansions and music (Sneha Khanwalkar) that is perhaps too funky and authentic for the candy-flossed treatment.

Khoobsurat, which means beautiful, has its sparkling moments. The songs, such as the one where Mili breaks into a dance with the palace’s help, doesn’t serve any purpose and just makes the romance sluggish. Tighter editing and trimming off of Kapoor’s shrill, cute act would have elevated this engaging film into a riveting one.

Despite its fallback, Khoobsurat does manage to be likable with its feel good and breezy story. Khoobsurat can be watched once for Sonam and Fawad’s amazing chemistry.

In a nut shell, Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan’s Khoobsurat directed by Shashanka Ghosh will not disappoint you only if you never watched Rekha’s version of the film.
