           The Film:
Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai is an interesting film. The story unfolds on a college campus. Some boys and girls are facing the problems of adolescence and growth. There is also an unusual professor of sexology. It is commonly understood that love should end in marriage. However, there is no rebel although not all people believe in this philosophy. Everything is very conventional and traditional.

           Even the emotional bonds that develop between a grown-up boy and his English teacher Stella are not allowed to go beyond platonic love. When, at a meeting, the youth in an impulse tries to kiss her, she is so flustered and shocked that she asks him to get out of sight. Since both are Christian and supposed to have been brought up in a westernised and modern value system, the woman's behaviour is not very convincing.

          Stella has had a tragedy in her life: her fiance died in war. In the circumstances she wanted someone to fill her emotional void and meet her physical demands too. On the face of it there was nothing wrong in having a relationship with the youth who was growing intensely emotional about her. But the director/writer may have been prevented from showing it as socially acceptable because it may be seen by the young generation in a wrong light.

           On the whole, the film is quite entertaining. There is fun, fight and intimate scenes, and comic characters like the sexology teacher-father of one of the boys, Javed Akhtar's lyrics and some great tunes from Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.
