Touted as a remake of Hrishikesh Mukerhjee's Khoobsurat (1980), the film's trailer also had similarities to Disney's 2001 film The Princess Diaries. Does Shashanka Ghosh match upto the fun Rekha's venture was?
Certainly not.
Sonam Kapoor comes onscreen talking about her childhood dream of being a Disney princess and how Khoobsurat made it possible. Only then does the movie begin. That's actually a hidden warning -- this is another Aisha, produced by dad Anil Kapoor and sister Rhea Kapoor, this one's another attempt to make Sonam look like the princess she feels she is Milli Chakroborty (Sonam Kapoor) is a physiotherapist who travels with Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL matches and after the season ends, agrees to go to the royal family of Rathores to treat the king played by Aamir Raza Husain. She meets Prince Vikram Singh Rathore (Fawad) there and falls for him.
From poorly-established families to a lack of a proper climax to the film, the script of Khoobsurat proves to be a pain. The royal family is irritatingly doing nothing at all, except maybe for roaming around in empty rooms. The king seems the sanest of them all. He isn't doing anything as his movement is restricted by a wheelchair.
We do not expect Shashanka to match to Hrishikesh da's wit or Sonam to boast of Rekha's acting prowess, but the film could have been more tolerable.
