Bin Roye

Salam , just watched this movie on 19th July at Cineplex Centaurus Islamabad it was the only show , to be honest I wasn't much excited as I already read the reviews of its premiere in Karachi where public said that story was weak but still I had some hope and faith but as soon as the movie started all the expectations went in vain from very first scene the movie seemed a typical traditional Pakistani fair where sweet dish was shown being prepared with dialogs very weak indeed but yet Mahira Khan caught your attention because of sharp colors used in dressing and sets anyway the movie then started with old typical girl loves boy plot where boy doesn't show much interest then later he goes abroad where he falls in love with someone and marries blah blah , then crying tears and every thing happens so quickly in this movie that you don't even know what is happening scene to scene details are not shown every thing is done in so hurry as if one's halwa was getting cold , it seemed as if they made this story for drama but later decided to put whole drama in 2 hour movie and that too forcefully so script was extremely poor and so weak it would have worked 15 years back but no chance in today's era. Acting was quite good by all three lead members Humayun was superb as usual with mature acting , Mahira was sharp , Armeena had small screen time but did her part best rest cast was wasted to be honest it seemed extra to me. Music was the best part of the movie with all 5 songs outstanding straight from the heart , background score was superb and fantastic really enjoyed all songs especially Maula Maula which was magical on screen especially songs 2nd part at the end . So for me this movie brings nothing new in revival of cinema no path breaking element in it but only contributes a little bit in revival cycle only tiny addition not much , with this cast they could have made a brilliant love story but chance missed and main culprit was bad script going no where any way not a recommendable piece of cinema . Overall 6/10 , Script 3/10 , acting 8/10 , Music 10/10.

I don't usually vote movie this high but this one was exceptional. All along the movie, the viewer doesn't lose attention. The characters are complete and appropriate. Story line is really good and acting is the real strength of the movie. Mahira has done a brilliant job and unexpectedly Humayun Saeed has also done his part right. The best thing about the movie is its music. Without an item number or traditional romantic songs, the movie has managed to not only keep the audience entertained but also emotionally involved at times.All the songs are best suited for the situations. The movie has one the best soundtrack I have ever listened to.

Its a complete movie with emotions, drama and thrill all along the 116 minutes of the movie. For all the people who love to watch romantic, drama genre and are fond of music/songs in movies, its a must watch and absolutely worth the money. People who are typical Bollywood movies fans, do not watch it, its not for you.

Great Pakistani romantic film with excellent songs, photography and background score. Direction was good however, a lot of scenes kept going back and forth between countries which became confusing at times.

Mahira Khan's acting was amazing, she is a naturally gifted actress.

Humayun Saeed needs to retire. His acting was boring, least inspiring and he looked quite old in front of Mahira. If they had opted for Fawad Khan instead, this film would have been extra special.

First half of the film was superb, whilst the second half dragged a bit.

Overall a great a film and worth watching for sure….two thumbs up!!

Of course the movie was not flawless, but it was worth watching. i think it was a decent movie. the direction was very good in my view the problem was that the story moved very fast. transition between scenes could have been better, music was pretty good. the movies is competing Bollywood's Bajrangi bhaiijaan & some Hollywood movies (minions, ant man etc) which means that it is worth watching.Pakistani cinema is improving day by day. Projects like these show us that finally our industry is moving in the right direction. One should admire Mahira khan's acting skills in the movie, i'm anxiously looking forward to her bollywood debut in Raees. So go out and enjoy the show

BIN ROYE, what it makes to make a real classical love story family drama flick. A good script, brilliant screenplay great music, flawless direction , superb acting and melodious music. Just to mention some of the all-time family drama romantic movies like Silsila, Kabhi Alvida na Kehna , Saajan, Ashqui etc had all these ingredients (even though I don't market Bollywood movies any more) and moviegoer came out of cinema emotionally attached to these movies. Now question rises does BIN ROYE has these ingredients or not, talented Hamuyun Saeed along with Mahira Khan and the director Momina Duraid who is very well known in making great dramas. Bin Roye had everything to be a great love story ever told on silver screen but alas it didn't seems to happen. Momina Duraid the director seems to make a drama serial of 120 Mins or so not a movie, from acting to dialogues , Bin Roye had its loop wholes which spoil a great love story into a just an average movie. The acting, Humyun Saeed and Mahira Khan both disappoints, even though both had a great margin but director has not been able to use their full talent. Its totally underacting, scenes may have been much much better , Question rises was Humayun Saeed was a right choice if same role has been done by Fahad Mustafa or Fawad Khan or Humza Ali Abbasi, Mahira khan even though has done better acting but definitely acting may have been much better. Music is the strong area of the movie. On positive side , as one of the first movie from Momina Duraid as a Director, we hope next time she does justice to her movie direction, as a Pakistani Movie not a bad one but surely BIN ROYE may have been a great love story. On the whole just an OK movie, which surely have been a great movie but the director seems to be confused that either it's a drama for HUM TV or a silver screen movie. Acting 4.5/10 Story 7/10 Music 8/10 Direction 4/10 Overall 6/10
