Khoobsurat Theaterical Trailer Review

Disney's Bollywood Maiden : Khoobsurat

Starring: Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan

'Khoobsurat' is Disney's debut bollywood production. It features the beautiful Sonam Kapoor playing the goofy, dreamy girl with Pakistani actor Fawad Khan playing the prince. The movie is known to be remake of the 1980 classic, Rekha starrer of same name.

There are remakes, rip-offs and inspired films. Although, Khoobsurat has been called as the remake of the 1980 RomCOm, it looks more like completely different with inspired elements in it. Being a Disney Production, it looks like quite different from the contemporary,its quite more colorful, Disney style!

The premise is new. It has gone royal and grand, this time around. Sonam Kapoor, in the role of a Physiotherapist who is clumsy, goofy, outspoken and as mentioned in the trailer - a royal misfit, is looking quite impressive. Comparisons will happen and she will be left far behind by Rekha's character in the original, but Sonam looks better than anyone would expect her to. Fawad Khan, debutante from Pakistan, looks like a prince, not just by the make up but he is carrying it well(as much shown in trailer). Well, hope he does not disappoint. Kiran Kher is the best bolly mom and she is rocking in the trailer too, as the techie mom - Manju.

Another puller is, that the extremely strict family headed by Dina Pathak, has been replaced by a royal family in the film, with Ratna Pathak as the matriarch.

Music sounds good with a rap tease(sounds like Badshah) and "engine ki seeti" which seemed to be the replacement of "Saare Bandhan".

Here is the trailer for you to have a look of what Disney is offering.

Although, it is not a Kick or Bang Bang! for the masses to go crazy about it, but the lovers of the original, Sonam Kapoor fans(if any) and RomCom enthusiasts have a treat coming their way. Its just a matter of time and we will know whether, Sonam Kapoor, after a series of duds, can pull it off this time or not.

The film hits screen on 19 Sept'14.
