kohlimanek Review of Tere Bin Laden

Tere Bin Laden (2010)

A light movie that is sure to drop you off your seat!

[8/10 · 22 July 2010]

I watched the movie very recently, and personally I wasn't expecting anything out of it. I am a dedicated hater of Bollywood comedy movies, as I personally find them stupid, impractical and even worthless. Even after reading good reviews I did not have the slightest urge to go and give Tere Bin Laden a try. But however I had to experience it forcefully. After watching it was shocked to find that it was hell funny! It used the typical Pakistani-Punjabi accent that made the movie very realistic and had a nice selection of talented actors. The person who played the Osama Bin Laden look-alike himself acted very nicely and gave us an impression of a simple and innocent man with an amazing sense of humor. The movie also had a nice share of practicality (although the whole idea of the movie is superbly impractical). The characters are properly portrayed. The language was used properly, the Americans were provided where they were needed, the makeup of the look-alike was brilliant and there was many-many practical jokes. The Punjabi jokes were brilliant and the comic timing was good. The only problem with the movie was that the idea was very impractical, but keeping in mind that this is a comedy movie (and the fact that its humor covers up its short falls), I would like to ignore that. A combination of amazing jokes, great acting and slight impracticalities result in me giving this movie a 7/10 or 3.5/5 stars.
