When the show came on TV we were pleasantly surprised to see Rajesh Khanna acting in a Tv show. But our excitement turned into colossal disappointment as Rajesh Khanna refused to progress from his typical mannerisms which looked so outdated and redundant that one started cringing throughout the show. The show was a torture because the lead actor was completely out of touch and was Hamming like anything. The show didn't last long and went off air after a few episodes (God's Grace). Production values were poor, supporting cast was clueless and the show itself was confused what it wanted to show. Promoting regressive values in the name of culture is not what we expect from National Television of India.

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
