Rekha in her first breakout role that showed she could carry a full movie on her shoulders no hero required. In many ways can be looked upon as her first move getting out of Big B's shadow into the spotlight on her own. She never looked back after this. Best actress and best film award for that year from Filmfare. Hrishikesh Mukherjee directed, RD helming the music, Asha Bhonsle's hit songs (Piya Banwari),the evergreen Ashok Kumar, Rakesh Roshan fun as always, unforgettable Dina Pathak as the martinet matriarch, and the rest of the cast .....how can you go wrong with this one? Must watch Hindi movie marking the end of the 70s, and the start of the 80s (last hurrah for Bell Bottoms!!). Also the movie marks a kind of high watershed for the sunny, wonderfully pleasant, breezy family friendly movies of Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Basu Chatterji etc and the music of RD throughout the 70s. In a couple of years or so Hindi movies would slide into a long dark period of misses and flops especially for Bachhan, and the tone of movies in general would remain dark moody & violent for many years and Hindi film music would hit a low point, as RD faded. First rays of Sunshine would come after QSQT. (Of course Smita Patil was a high point for the 80s,who can forget Mirch Masala?)

Watch this gem keeping all of the above background in mind......

Her Excellency Very Great Madam Actress Rekha has done excellent work.

His Divine Grace Late Actor Ashok Kumar has done excellent work.

I watched this movie in Chanakaya, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi with my cousin His Excellency Very Great Mr. Anil Lalwani and his wife Her Excellency Pooja. It was excellent day in the summer of 1980.

What a theater in those days. What a movie.

Thanks and Regards.

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 good

Rekha 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
