Pyar Jhukta Nahin review :
One of the few Super hit films of Mithun Chakraborty in a non-action role and that too without dancing to any disco track; Pyar Jhukta Nahin was an out and out romantic drama initially offered to Rishi Kapoor but went to Mithunda after the former rejected it. Padmini Kolhapuri was the heroine and its success led to Mithun-Padmini becoming a hit pair.
Not many know that the film was not finding distributors as Mithunda was playing a romantic lead here completely opposite to his dancing action hero image. But producer KC Bokadia had total faith in his product and decided to distribute the film himself and ended up reaping all profits himself.
Mithunda and Padmini played the typical poor guy - rich girl lovers who marry against the wishes of Padmini's parents Danny (formidable as ever) and Bindu. Post marriage, differences crop up between the two premis mostly fuelled by Danny which leads to their separation. Meanwhile, Padmini is pregnant and Danny wants her to abort the child...
The screenplay was fast paced peppered with melodious numbers specially "Tumse milkar na jaane kyun.." which is still memorable. Mithun and Padmini shared an amazing chemistry together and that was one of the main reasons for the film clicking in such a big way with the audience that it celebrated a 75 weeks run in theatres all over India. Main theatre in Mumbai was Novelty cinema.
Pyar Jhukta Nahin may sound dated today but for '80s kids like me, there is enough nostalgic value to give it a try again.
