Review
Khoobsuratis a clean family comedy. The story is not new but the film succeeds in entertaining the movie lovers. It’s almost a
remake of the old classic Bawarchi.
The story revolves round a con man Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) who has a kind heart. He gets into a fight with Jogia Seth (Paresh Rawal), a
smuggler whom he owes rupees 50 lakhs.
Sanju has to make the money in a month if he wants save himself and Gudia, an orphan who becomes a hostage.
At this moment Natwar (Johnny Lever) comes to Sanju's rescue. Natwar advises Sanju to go in to the Chaudhary household as Sanju
Shastri and squander the money from them. As Sanju has no other choice, he decides to enter the Chaudhary Villa as their NRI relative.
Sanju starts befriending the members of the Chaudhary family. Here the film reminds us of Bawarchi, Hrishikesh Mukherjee's film
in which Rajesh Khanna played the role of Bawarchi.
The Chaudhary Parivar has three brothers. The elder one is Dilip (Om Puri), who is an honest man and takes care of the family
business. Mahesh (Ashok Saraf) is the second one who is a gambler. The third, Satish (Jatin Kanakia) has the habit of forgetting
things and is absent minded.
Shivani (Urmila Matondkar) is the daughter of Dilip. Shivani is beautiful but without self-esteem or confidence. This makes the whole
family anxious about Shivani’s marital prospects.
Sanju comes on the scene and wins everybody's hearts by solving their problems. Naturally, he falls in love with Shivani.
The rest of the film is about how Sanju transforms Shivani from a simple girl to a beautiful woman. And, in the process, unites the
rest of the family.
Sanjay Dutt has given another good performance. This is Sanjay’s second film in a row, which has potential to become a hit. His last
film Vaastav has been doing great at the Box office. Urmila Matondkar looks beautiful and plays her part of an innocent girl
well. Paresh Rawal is at his best as the villain with a penchant for using punch lines from popular ad campaigns.
Johnny Lever in his guest appearance is okay. The film also has former Channel (V) veejay Sophia Haque who sings the I am a flirt
number.
Besides Sanjay Dutt’s solid performance and the beauty of Urmila, the sweet music by Jatin-Lalit is another highlight of the film.
Songs like Mera Ek Sapna Hai, Bahut Khoobsurat and Aye Shivani sung by Sanjay Dutt himself are worth mentioning.
Overall, Khoobsurat is a fun-filled movie with some good songs. It is bound to entertain movie lovers
