Khoobsurat (2014) Review!!

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

My Take – Disney has been churning out the “princess” kind of movies for years targeting teenage girls & the younger ones around the globe. Well this time they are targeting India!! A remake of a 1980 film, this Disney-Anil Kapoor production is actually not bad. Well given the synopsis of the film, it has its cheesy & over the top moments, but it sure does make you smile with its antics.

The movie has some interesting moments in the 1st half & drags down a bit in the 2nd half kinda playing the spoil sport. Among the performances, Sonam Kapoor is required to play an over the top character & she does that naturally. Debutant Fawad Khan seems to have been born for this role. From his mannerisms to his wardrobes, he pulls of the royal heir excellently. Kiron Kher as the punjabi mother (again) is a riot!

The grand portrayal , the photography and hummable soundtrack along with some excellent performances makes Khoobsurat a pleasant journey in other words this romantic comedy is the perfect date movie of 2014.
