Khoobsurat directed by ShashankaGhosh and
being marketed as Disney’s first Indian princess movie, released on 19th
September. The movie traces the story of Mili (SonamKapoor) a physiotherapist
who lands up in a royal family after she receives the responsibility of taking
care of Hussain, who is old and bound by a wheel chair. The story basically
focuses on Mili, her adventures around the strict ‘malkin’ of the house played by
RatnaPathak Shah and her romantic exchanges with the royal son (Fawad Khan).
At the very outset one can see that
Khoobsurat is bubbly, perky and pink. However, SonamKapoor delivers a better
than expected performace. She is comfortable in her role and pulls off the
emotional bits with ease. RatnaPathak Shah, as always is effective. Fawad Khan
who has become the eye candy of India for a while is convincing. He looks
deliciously good looking in the movie and does not overdo. However, it is
KirronKher, playing Mili’s loud Punjabi mother who utters the best line and
offers the best laughs. She is a real star in this role.
Khoobsurat slows down in the second half
and certain song sequences seem dragged even though the songs have become highly popular. The movie is not the best you have seen in the
genre but certainly not as big a disaster as Aisha (Anil Kapoor’s first
production starring SonamKapoor and AbhayDeol). Don’t miss Khoobsurat, let
SonamKapoor surprise you, for once.
