Yeh Zindagi Kitni Haseen Hai (transl. This Life Is Beautiful) is a 1966 Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by R. K. Nayyar.[1] The film was produced by Nayyar fr his R. K. Nayyar Films banner. It had story and screenplay by Harish Kumar Mehra with dialogues by Agha Jani Kashmiri. The music was composed by Ravi with lyrics written by Rajendra Krishan.[2]

The film starred Joy Mukherjee, who was cast in films where the hero was required to perform the Shammi Kapoor style of acting. Though he did not achieve Kapoor's fame and popularity, he acted in several films with good music and popular songs recorded in Mohammed Rafi's voice. Yeh Zindagi Kitni Haseen Hai is cited as one of his "major" films.[3] Saira Banu played the lead female role, where she is shown upholding "Indian morals" by refusing to wear a swimsuit for the Miss Universe contest.[4] Besides this film, Saira had acted in two other film in 1966, Saaz Aur Awaaz and Pyar Mohabbat. The films "failed to make an impact" for Saira as an actress that year.[5] Co-stars included Motilal, Sayeeda Khan, Badri Prasad and Madan Kumar.
