silvan-desouza Hrishikesh Mukherjee is the man who gave us several good comedies like GOLMAAl, NARAM GARAM.etc KHOOBSURAT too is one of his famous works, in fact its being remade now The film does have a sort of deja vu from his earlier works like BAWARCHI and especially the characters are quite similar but yet it works Hrishida was a genius in making lighthearted family film. The film is a well made film and makes you laugh throughout even though being simple.Direction is awesome Music too is goodRekha gives one of her finest works and gets immersed into the character and is full of fun, Rakesh Roshan is good too Dina Pathak is excellent, she portrays the patriarch very well, Ashok Kumar is likable as usual, Ranjit Chawdary is very good as Jagan, Shashikala is good, Keshtu Mukherjee and David are as usual rest are okay

vvydier This is movie from a different era - reminds you of the times when the values were different. Joint family and obeying elders were the norm and individuality would take a back seat. Rekha challenges the joint family rules and brings in a fresh breath of life to the stifled family members. Values and lifestyles are changing, albeit slowly, and this movie reminds you of the days when you had fun with such simple thingsRekha and all the cast members do an excellent job in this movie. The characterization is such that you get to know every member of the family. This is one of the best of the simple clean movies of 80's

anharmyenone This film is one of my favorites. It's funny, touching, romantic, and pulls you in. It's a light, but well written story about a clash between a young woman who is a free spirit and her sister's mother in law who has lots of strict rules. Well written and believable characters and good conflict. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious. The musical numbers are imaginative, though the songs are not the best. The characters drive the story and keep you interested. You care what happens to them. I wish they had made a sequel because I want to see more of these characters and find out what happens next.
