Tere Bin Laden (2010)

Super film in all aspects... Usually, almost every good film starts well, but lags a little in its second hour... Even after this much efforts, most of the film makers are not able to overcome this problem... You can see a lag somewhere, in almost every film, whether its a classic or a crap...

But, surprisingly Tere Bin Laden never showed such a trend, i don't remember which was the previous film that entertained me this much...

The protagonist Ali Zafar is a complete discovery!!! Heard he is doing next film with Yashraj Films... All the best Ali, musically you are a genius, now you proved that acting wise also you are great... we want to see you more on screen..

And Pradhuman Singh, who portrayed Noora (Laden) is perfect, and very good in his role... All other people were also very good...

I don't want to say more, such films happen VERY VERY Rarely.... DO NOT MISS SUCH GEMS AT ANY COST...

Fmovies: Just Watched the movie Today, the Concept was Brilliant and the Laden fake worked just fantastic. And his Sikander was astonishing. Yup, the movie will be a bit disappointment for the American in some scenes but tolerable, overall this is not a laughter riot but a laughter ride, A light Movie to go for, Talking About the performance, the poor Laden Fake was fantastic and done his part of Job, and he was the most memorized character of the movie when you finished watching it, Ali Zafar was good for first Timer, but the Show Stealer was Pradhuman Singh, The Laden Fake,

Final Verdict : If you have the Time, Go for it.

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!

Tere Bin Laden fmovies. After "LAGAAN" and "3 IDIOTS", this is only 3rd Indian movie I rated as 10/10, and the rest of review explains why I rated it so..

While India always has had wonderful actors like Amitabh , Naseer-ud-Din Shah and Aamir Khan, most of such talent is wasted because many Indian movies copy a lot, if you are a well-informed movie geek, you can identify a sequence copied from a classic Hollywood flick or some Giallo, as such movies make lots of gross in India but abroad they lose their charm as we know from ratings that biggest box office hits in Bollywood hardly pass 7 in IMDb ratings..

But here and there the biggest film industry in terms of movies made produces absolute genius like the movies I mentioned, there are many more..TERE BIN LADEN is a no-brainer comedy with hilarious moments and equally compelling script and direction, and a totally original effort.

The story starts with a Pakistani Journalist Ali (played by Pakistani pop-star Ali Zafar) who wants to go to USA and till the credits open, we know that his VISA has been rejected for 7 years (told in a funny way at how he tries to fool the immigration department), Ali works in a small news channel reporting small league press conferences and even cock- operas, he has a friend camera-man GUL (Nikhil RatnaParkhi) and a mean boss Majeed (Piyush Mishra), Ali gets an idea after watching a cock owner NOORA (Pradhuman Singh) and noticing his resemblance with BIN LADEN.He hires a Hair-Stylist ZOYA(Sughanda Garg) and Voice imitator, communist RJ QURESHI (Rahul Singh) , together they make a tape of Bin Laden and sell it to news, the rest movie tells the after effects of this and I won't spoil it , you have to enjoy it.The movie has a small message and asks a question about America's decisions, but it is lightly told so it doesn't effect the momentum of the movie.

As for the performances, ALI ZAFAR was lucky to be cast in this, Pakistani Actors have never been lucky in Bollywood and he got such an original movie to launch his career, but its not to take anything off him, his performance is good, in some scenes he is hilarious while at others , he is just OK , but considering he is originally a singer, he didn't do bad. The pick of the cast and the person who makes this movie is PRADHUMAN SINGH whose USAMA lookalike character is heart and soul of the movie, he is funny, natural and carries the movie to whole new level in all the scenes he is featured, one of best debut performances. I would also like to mention Rahul Singh who plays Communist RJ Qureshi, he was also really funny and his physical gestures were really comic, the rest of cast, be it Ali's friends or police and FBI , are all on par.

Now to the technical stuff, if this movie was 20 minutes longer, it would have been a plain turkey, but the 95 minute running time (about 5 minutes for credits) really keep your interest throughout without senseless sub-plots and gimmicks, the character of Ali is well developed and his love for America is into you in 10 minutes of the movie, the rest of cast are there to carry the plot, Abhishek Sharma who wrote the script and directed doesn't tell you unneeded stuff which slows down many Bollywood movies, like there is no extra prologue of NOORA and other characters, no annoying parents of Ali, all the characters and progression of movies is on the plot and the jokes are around the plot, which makes this movie great, such a good script needed excellent direction and here too Abhishek scores, with a low budget, he

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.

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!!
