Tere Bin Laden

Making someone laugh is hard, but making someone fall off his/her chair is, according to me, the hardest exercise. Nowadays, Indian Cinema's usual blockbusters have been Comedies. They have become the flavor of the season. Now add, 'Tere Bin laden' in that long-list. Comedy Films have a new nature to them - 'Tere Bin Laden'.

Osama Bin Laden, surf this name in Google/Yahoo, and I can assure you... the results would pop-up in Millions. His rivalry with the World, his actions... have made him a man named with Violence or Terror. Now imagine, Osama Bin Laden playing in the fields with Chickens, Roaming around freely to relief himself or, him being a business partner in a rather tacky salon. Presto, now we're talking 'Tere Bin Laden'.

'Tere Bin Laden' is a legendary watch, which I am sure would be regarded as a Cult-Classic in the coming years. It's a hilarious satire, that has a water-tight, witty Screenplay, Super Performances & Striking Direction in it's booty. About 95 minutes long, this one is truly a joyride! Abhishek Sharma's Screenplay is a pure genius. His direction styles as well. Santosh Thundiyil's Cinematography is nice. Music by Shankar-Eshaan-Loy, is in sync with the film. Editing is neat.

In the acting department, Ali Zafar excels in the lead role. The Pakistani Hunk is a treat to watch, as he gets it right from start to end. Pradhuman Singh as a mistaken Osama, is lovely. Sugandha Garg manages her part. Nikhil Ratnaparkhi is superb. But the actor who truly steals the show, is, Piyush Mishra. The Highly Talented Actor gets a terrific role, and does complete justice to it. In fact, his portions are the funniest!

On the whole, 'Tere Bin Laden' is humorous, crazy, cinema at it's best. Two Big Thumbs Up!!

Reading Such Good Reviews, Expectations got higher for this flick. The main reason of high expectations is nothing but the never heard before, honest & hilarious concept. OSAMA BIN LADEN - The name that is so famous that while writing it in any Data sheet in computer, there comes no "UNKNOWN SPELLING" underline. But this time he is not the source of terror, in fact he is not in the film. Then Who's The LADEN in "Tere BIN LADEN"? A Fake of course. Such authentic & comic concept was never thought before. Nearly 9 years passed from "9/11", many films are made on this historic event like "NEW YORK", "KURBAAN" & Many More. But "TERE BIN LADEN", doesn't bring up the concept once again, here the main suspect of the 9/11 conspiracy is brought up and in a very funny concept. Though The film has already fallen into many troubles but "Tere Bin Laden" is highly recommended for it's fresh concept and some pure humor.

In recent times, Comedy only means non-veg, double meaning jokes, abusing each other, misunderstandings, slapping each-other furiously, funny proverbs etc. etc. But "Tere Bin Laden" has introduced Comedy in a fresh package with some not-so-cheesy but damn funny dialouges, Cock- kicks, Chicken-Kabab Blasts, Laden make-ups, Carrot eating FBI Agents & many more like that. The Introductory Song "Good Looking Ullu Da Paththa" makes u start laughing and this journey continues till the end. Without lavish sets, beautiful foreign sites, too much budget, unnecessary songs - "Tere Bin Laden" amazes us by its great wit, slapstick script & some biting dialouges.

PLOT - Ali Hassan(Ali Zafar) & His Friend Gul(Nikhil Ratnaparkhi) are two luckless Pakistani reporters of a disgusting TV- channel "Danka TV". Ali is very desperate to go USA, The Land Of Opportunities to try his luck to become like A CNN & BBC Reporter or a very big man. But His Visa Applications are rejected several times. In Deep desperation, a weird idea catches his mind after seeing the LADEN Look-alike Noora(Pradhuman Singh). By The Help of make-up artist Zoya(Sugandha Garg), Ali turns Noora into Osama Bin Laden & takes his video & sells it to his boss Majeed(Piyush Mishra). From here, Ali's plan backfires & terrible confusions come up.

MUSIC - "ULLU DA PATHTHA" & "I LOVE AMREEKA" are tremendous. Great vocals by Shankar Mahadevan. Even the Ali Zafar Track "Bas Ek Soch" is missing in the film, it's beautiful. Besides Singing, This Good Looking Paki Boy is to watch out for in the future for good acting & nicely made stupid expressions what was needed for the movie. Rest Songs like "Shor Sharaba", "Kukduku" are fare.

ACTING - Debutant Paki Singer Ali Zafar has done very nice job and for his naughty & stupid expressions made in the movie are very cool. This Boy can work wonders in future. Fake Osama, Pradhuman Singh was also a man to watch out for because of his great face that can be easily mistaken as Osama and his stupendous and confusing expressions made in some places. Excellent! Sugandha Garg, Piyush Mishra & rest others are also nice.

DIRECTOR - A big round of applause for this young wonder named Abhishek Sharma to come out. He has amazed us by his capabilities as a founder of this out-of-the-box concept in Bollywood ever. The way the film is conceptualized by a small idea and made into a belly-tickler is astounding. Some new ideas like "Hen Screaming Competition", "Osama Spoof" are just tremendous. We will expect him gravely in future.

VERDICT - In recent times, when most of comedy movies are coming up, "Tere Bin Laden" is completely different from them in concept and humor. It entertains us from the first to last by its brilliant script, hilarious situations and hard punch-lines. But at box-office, it has a probability to fall down because of controversies relating it. But it's highly entertaining & a non-stop laughter machine. So, don't miss it at any cost & join this laughathon.

Abhishek Sharma ( don't actually know the guy) has made a fine debut with this adorable flick . Trite and well edited, the movie leaves a good impression throughout. Yes there are a few stale patches in between but that doesn't adversely affect the comic credibility of the movie . The cast does justice to the movie's theme. Ali Zafar may have been the protagonist but it is the guy who plays Laden's look alike who out does almost everyone else. A fine satire , not holding back anything, the movie is the newest member of the Political Satire Flicks.

The movie also scores highly when it comes to editing. The editing team is allergic to superfluous stuff and that is such a relief. No sentimentality's without a reason and no stretch outs.

Definitely a one time watch if not more.

I saw this movie recently on DVD, the reason I did not go to theater was (actually were) new actor, new director, and the plot was also not so much thrilling, as 9/11 and Osama are not in news now.

The main drawback of most Bollywood comedy flicks is, they do not have any plot at all, and most of them have only three things 1.Misunderstanding 2. Marathon of characters 3. Old or double meaning Jokes in place of dialogs

This film was nothing like old crap and to my surprise, I was completely wrong; the cast does justice to the movie's theme especially "Noora chacha" played by Pradhuman Singh and yes "Sikandar"(the chicken) too. Ali jafar with his impeccable timing is well suited in his first appearance in Bollywood. This is perfect platform for him to be launched in such a good movie.

The main USP of "Tere Bin Laden" is a well-crafted script with total fresh idea and of course superb direction. What a debut for Abhishek Sharma. It is a satire on the system; it is a fine funny take on the whole world fighting with the terror. This is the movie you should watch with your friends or family if you want to double your experience of fun.

And the last line: Don't read this, go watch movie and please do not watch it alone.

TERE BIN LADEN – CATCH IT ( B+ ) Tere Bin Laden is a breeze of fresh air in the comedies, were these days all comedies are losing their stories and trying to cover up the story with big actors, comedic action and songs. This movie really makes you laugh with honest and entertaining performances by all the young actors. The whole movie is a fun ride from the first song 'Ullu Da Pattha" till the end song "I love Amreeeka". In such low budget they have made a really interesting and unique movie. Putting severe topic like Osama Bin Laden into comedy is itself an achievement. The whole movie is hilarious and full on comedy and one of the most entertaining sequences was the Rooster's Bang (Voice) Competition. Sikender the Rooster has stolen the show plus his death sequence is incredibly funny and I laughed my A** out. Ali Zafar is the heart of the movie with his cute face and brilliant comedic timing he made the movie incredibly entertaining. All the supporting actors Sugandha Garg, Pradhuman Singh,Nikhil Ratnaparkhi, Akash Dhar, Chinmay Mandlekar and Piyush Mishra were top notch, there could not have been a better cast then this. It's a brilliant attempt and must be seen by every person. Laugh Out Loud!
