Ye Ishq nahi aasan is one of the two films I like of tinu anand the other being main aazad hun. This film has very nice dialogues, good performances and very good music. Even though you see Padmini Kolhapure on the poster the main lead of the film is actually Deepti Naval. Padmini's character leaves by the end of the first half and appears only in snippets afterwards the reason for which is disclosed in the end. Rishi Kapoor shares nice chemistry with both Padmini and Deepti Naval. Deepti Naval has as expected given a good performance. Dialogues are so nice some of them are poetic and are quotable quotes. The music is highly underrated and the film has some melodious music particularly mere khayalo ki rehguzar se. This is aesthetically pleasing film with no violence no vulgarity and visually nice cinema. Do give a watch

As a film this is well acted directed and written and is a decent watch but the character of Mithun in the film is so problematic that you would like to punch him on his face. So there is a man who hates his boss for his own faults, who emotionally manipulates and controls her sister to get her married to a lewd man for his selfish reasons, he physically harms his wife by beating her mercilessly and in the end he doesn't even apologize. It seems like the director ended up a male chauvinistic figure. I think there was a caste angle to the story which was not explored further. Acting wise, Vinod Mehra gives the best performance of the lot with a subtle and dignified role. He was one of the finest actors in supporting roles. Mithun was good especially in the emotional scenes and his chemistry with Tanvi Azmi is really nice. If only his charcater was not so uni dimensional and problematic. Tanvi Azmi gives a really nice performance on her debut. Padmini Kolhapure doesn't have anything to do in the first half and she appears to be a dumb glam doll but in the second half she appears to be the only sensible character in the film where others fell prey to patriarchal cliches she appears to be the voice of reason and is able to stand against his own husband to secure marriage between Vinod Mehra and Tanvi. Shakti Kapoor and Deven Verma are adequate even though unnecessary comic scenes hampers the flow of the film and action scenes were also not required. Music is pathetic to say the least. All the songs and their lyrics are so bad that had there been good music in te film the impact of the film would have been doubled. Watch it for an emotional experience

K.C.Bokadia rose to fame as a producer with the blockbuster film Pyar Jhukta Nahin which was directed by Vijay Sadanah. Very surprisingly they didn't work together again for the next 16 years. Pyar Zindagi hai was their collaboration after 16 years and though the film is no great shakes it is quite watchable precisely for the brilliant performance by Mohnish Bahl. Had he delievered this performance in a successful film he surely would have got a nomination for best supporting actor or best actor in a negative role. Apart from him the performances are quite ordinary especially by the leading actors. Both the actors lack spark and chemistry was missing between them which is death knell for a romantic film. Also there is a lot of stuff in the film which reminds you of Pyar Jhukta Nahin precisely the song situations, the lyrics and even certain scenes are taken from Pyar Jhukta Nahin but they are not as impactful as the former and makes the film predictable at times. Songs are hummable and good for such a low budget film. But as I said the songs and their placement are similar to Pyar Jhukta Nahin. One of the song goes like "honge na juda milke" which is obviously inspired by the song "Chahe laakh toofan aaye....milke na honge juda". The title song will remind you of "Tumse milkar na jane kyun". Rajesh Khanna is pretty ordinary and doesn't have much to do except in the climax. Overall a decent film because of Mohnish Bahl if not anything else. I personally don't like the movies of K C Bokadia except Pyar Jhukta Nahin and it is nice to see him returning to romantic genre after making dozens of violent assembly line productions.
