Hrishida won’t recognize this as his Khubsoorat. But he won’t disapprove of what has been done to his work.Read full review3.5

It may not be for everyone, but for those who seek comfort in the familiar, it’s a pretty satisfying watch.Read full review3.0
Kusumita Das | Deccan Chronicle
This Khoobsurat may not have the realistic charm of its predecessor and certain twists seem abrupt. But it is the convincing performances by Aamir, Fawad, Ratna and Kirron that manage to lift the storyline. And when little things go wrong, Fawad’s intense gaze helps you forget them. Bollywood may have just found its Mr Darcy.Read full review3.0

Shubhra Gupta | Indian Express
‘Khubsoorat’ is bubblegum-y and air-headed and good-natured, and its biggest strength is that it keeps it consistent, becoming one of those films that over-delivers precisely because it under-promises.Read full review3.0

Khoobsurat is not going to blow you away cinematically but has enough to keep you engaged and entertained for its screen time. Warning: Sonam’s unduly multi-coloured, garish wardrobe could distract you.Read full review3.0
Sachin Chatte | The Navhind Times
All in all, with a high feel-good quotient, Khoobsurat delivers a pleasant outing at the cinemas.Read full review3.0

Fairy tales are fantasies served with candyfloss. ‘Khoobsurat’ aims to be just that, only it is less creative fantasy and dripping more of sugary syrup. Watch it once if you love rom-coms or better still, if you are a Fawad Khan fan.Read full review3.0
Ritika Handoo | Zee News
The movie is filled with many fun moments and does not compel you to be prepared for a hard-hitting melodramatic journey. Overall, a light, bright and colourful cinematic experience, with Fawad as an eye-candy, who knows his job to the ‘t’.Read full review3.0

Khoobsurat is entertaining, fun and paisa-vasool. If you have been wondering “what’s all the fuss about Fawad Khan?”, don’t miss this one!Read full review3.0
Sonia Chopra | Sify
This film has little of the gentle nuance of the Hrishikesh Mukherjee-directed original, but it’s still pretty good fun. This Bollywood-Disney fairytale combo is worth a shot!Read full review3.0
Meeta Kabra | Wogma
…it’s something I would recommend for a light Sunday afternoon. It is guilty pleasure. It is saccharine sweet and fluffy. It is candy floss – it won’t satiate your appetite, but will feel good while you are at it and a little after.Read full review3.0

…despite its predictable narration is a joy to watch.Read full review2.5
Anupama Chopra | Hindustan Times
Sadly, Shashanka displays none of the eccentric creativity that we saw in his earlier films, though he does create moments of charm.Read full review2.5

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.Read full review2.5
Noyon Jyoti Parasara | NowRunning
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.Read full review2.5
Daily Bhaskar | Daily Bhaskar
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.Read full review2.5
Tanaya Ramyani | BookMyShow
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.Read full review2.5
Manjusha Radhakrishnan | Gulf News
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.Read full review2.5
Priya Prakashan | India
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.Read full review2.0
Rohit Khilnani | India Today
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.Read full review2.0
Rahul Desai | Mumbai Mirror
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.Read full review2.0

‘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.Read full review2.0
Suparno Sarkar | FilmiBeat
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.Read full review1.5
Mayank Shekhar | The W14
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.Read full review1.0
Sweta Kaushal | Hindustan Times
…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.Read full reviewNR
Saibal Chatterjee | NDTV
Khoobsurat is a pretty good show. It is both funny and flashy, but its many flourishes are delivered in measures that religiously avoid excess.Read full reviewNR
Rachit Gupta | Filmfare
It’s definitely not as good as the original. But it’s perfectly in tune with the times.Read full reviewNR
Sneha May Francis | Emirates247
With some hits and misses, ‘Khoobsurat’ remains fairly grounded in its genre, and comes with the disclaimer – “strictly for girls”.Read full reviewNR
Deepanjana Pal | Firstpost
For the second time in months, Bollywood has turned the tables to great effect by making a hero play the part that was traditionally reserved for women. We heartily approve. As heroines have argued over the years, it isn’t demeaning to be an important and beautiful prop when the character is written and performed well. With actors like Khan in the mix, there may yet be hope for the Indian romantic comedy.Read full reviewNR
Shilpa Jamkhandikar | Reuters
“Khoobsurat” is a harmless film, one that doesn’t say much and doesn’t have much to offer in terms of a cinematic experience, but doesn’t scar you for life either. If you don’t mind a bit of shallow romance, and pretty people falling in love, this might be the film for you.Read full reviewNR
Sanjukta Sharma | LiveMint
Shashanka Ghosh’s Khoosurat is an all-round disaster. It reminds me all over again how confident a film-maker Hrishikesh Mukherjee was, and how sympathetic he was to his characters.Read full reviewNR

My review of Khoobsurat (2014) by bangreaayushi
jyothimathur, 9 years agoThis story is all about a day dreaming fantasying coming true. This story is about a girl who dreams of a prince charming and she gets her desired prince in reality. The story highlights the life of a girl and how she deals with the on-going social changes of the society. The story stares Sonam Kapoor in the lead. It’s a sequel of ‘Khubsurat’ starring Rekha in the lead role. The story is good and it takes you into an era of dreams coming true.
