Osama Bin Laden is a name that creates anxiety because of his involvement in the 9/11 US terror attacks. TERE BIN LADEN is a movie that will change the way people perceive Osama. It perhaps will even make Osama laugh if he ever gets to see it.

Pakistani singer Ali Zafar makes his acting debut with TERE BIN LADEN. He plays the role of Ali Hassan, a journalist from Pakistan, who wants to make it big in the US. No matter how many different looks he dons (funny), his visa is always rejected. One fine day, he comes across an Osama Bin Laden look-alike at a Mukabla-e-bang (a competition of cocks) and makes a fake video with him, to later sell it for a money. But what seemed an innocent act lands him in trouble as an official named Ted (Barry John) from the White House is in his hunt.

TERE BIN LADEN has a tight script. Right from the very first scene the mood is set. The tempo of the movie is very steady and moves at a efficient pace. At no point do you feel it is losing its way.

It attractively takes a dig at America and Pakistan. There's a visa office named Lashkar-e-America in Pakistan. When Ted is asked his rationale behind attacking Afghanistan when he knows that Osama is actually in Pakistan he says he has 100 million dollars allotted for the mission and cannot use the whole sum in only consuming coffee.

It has its share of double-meaning jokes but they aren't simple. There is an entertaining scene in which a loyal cock sacrifices its life to save Noora (Pradhuman Singh) and turns into a tandori chicken. Also, when Majeed (Piyush Mishra) finds himself in a gutter, he asks if he has reached America.

It is not just the hilarious moments that make it shine. TERE BIN LADEN also has a good and ground-breaking story weaved around Osama Bin Laden. Abhishek Sharma's direction is perfect.

The movie scores high in the performance department. The casting is very apt. Debutant Ali Zafar is quite promising and convinced. Pradhuman Singh is wonderful. Credit must be given to the make-up artists, who make him completely resemble Osama Bin Laden.
Piyush Mishra is unique. Sugandha Garg (who shot to fame with JAANE TU YAA JAANE NAA) is decent but she doesn't have much to do in the movie. Chirag Vohra (as editor Lateef, who writes the lines in Arabic language) is inspiring. Nikhil Ratnaparkhi (as Gul, the cameraman) is capable. Rahul Singh (radio jockey Qureshi) is good and last but not the least Chinmay Mandlekar (as Barry John's sidekick) is enjoyable.

TERE BIN LADEN is 'laden' with many humorous moments. It is by far the funniest movie in recent times. It is worthy to watch.
