The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Another stellar movie from genius gulzar sahab ..He is undoubtly best filmakar of our cinema ..His movies has strong social landscape with deep heart touching emotions..He has ability to take out best performances from commercial wooden emotion less actors ..Hema malini at her career best performance..He transformed jeetendra into a excellent actor from a useless commercial jumping jack ..

Other detectors had chosen to entertaining people and make quick money. We are making hundreds of film every year. (by getting inspired, remaking, copying etc.) We have most crazy film-lover audience in world. But where are good films? Watch this movie and learn the objects and elements of film. Learn how to depict emotions and what impression it leaves on viewers' heart for decades.Khusboo is one of my most favorite film. 1 - See the casting, all actors' personality in that era. Big Contrast! Unique! 2 - See the story telling. This story is not as simple as you see in the film. ( Brindavan's earlier wife, Kid, Doctoring, Kusum's pain, waiting for years, plague, love, limits...) 3 - Listen music. Composted by Rocking RD Burman. But you never feel it overdone. It helps story/scene. 4 - This kind of films should be made for Oscar. Love you Gulzaar Saab!

Gulzar was an amazing filmmaker, he gave us several great films After Parichay, he returned with Jeetendra with yet another riveting drama called Khushboo(1975) co starring Hema Malini The film was based on the Bengali novel "Panditmashai" by Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay which was earlier filmed in Bengali in 1951 by Naresh Mitra. The film has a story which may sound dated today, but at it's time it seems real.As most Gulzar films, this too has a good plot and it's well handledDirection is superb Music by RD Burman is amazing, O Mhaaji Re is the best song sung by Kishore Kumar, rest songs too are goodJeetendra yet again after Parichay gives a restrained performance, it seems Gulzar cut his filmy style hair for this film on the sets to give him a normal average look and it works well, he is superb too in his role Hema Malini did this film alongwith SHOLAY where she played a contrasting role, here she is amazing in her role Sharmila Tagore is superb in a small role,Farida Jalal is superb Asrani lets go off his comic image and plays a superb role and does a great job, rest are all good

This is such a sensitive portrayal of a simple story from simpler times. The rural India, the characters, and the plot depicted in this movie might now seem to be from a totally different era; however, it is easy to relate to the human drama unfolding in this movie in the context of the value system of the time.Jitendra is restrained but dignified in his portrayal of the doctor who is one of the two central characters in this movie. Hema Malini is simply superb as Kusum; watch this movie to see what a fine actress she was even relatively early in her career, but you can also understand her "Dream Girl" status in Hindi cinema.Master Raju is hands-down the best child actor in Hindi cinema in my opinion, and you cannot help but be charmed by his role in this film. Fareeda Jalal is probably one of the most underrated actresses of Indian cinema, and together with Hema Malini, she simply shines in this movie. Asrani has a relatively small role, but as always, what would Hindi cinema of the 70's be without the rich supporting character roles played by this superb actor? Throw the musical geniuses of R.D. Burman, Lata, and Kishore in the mix to render the beautiful poetry of Gulzar, and you end up with a complete masterpiece!
