He’s had years of experience playing TV dramas’ favorite lover-boy and it shows. Perhaps a younger pairing would have looked better on-screen but Humayun acts well. He certainly looks older than his two young heroines - as the plot stresses, he’s ‘above the age of 30’. Humayun Saeed is believable but a trifle boring. Armeena’s soft-spoken, inane Saman is barely noticeable. Javed Sheikh and Zeba Bakhtiar are insipid but adequate as the smiling archetypal parents who, somehow, are too lost to realize what’s going on in their daughter’s life. She’s featured in almost every scene and she adroitly carries the plot through on her svelte shoulders. In one particularly riveting scene, she breaks her bangles when Irtiza ties the knot.
Mahira Khan possibly delivers her best performance to date as Saba tries to master jealousy, rage, guilt and pain. Sets are well-conceived, the cinematography is smooth and the plot is pure Mills & Boon.īin Roye is Mahira's movie, and she carries it well.
#Tere bina drama review movie#
The movie is shot well, ricocheting from the cheerful colors of weddings and Eid to darker shades and shadows in the second half. The story veers into complicated twists and turns and there are plenty of tears and heartbreak leading up to ‘happily ever after’. In a twist of fate, it is revealed that Saman is actually Saba’s sister and a thunderstruck Saba watches helplessly as Irtiza falls in love with her sister and marries her. The befuddled Irtiza, however, fails to register these very obvious hints, considers her his very ‘good friend’ and on a trip to the US, promptly proceeds to fall in love with another cousin, Saman, played by Armeena Rana Khan. She flirts with him coquettishly, makes him buy her bangles and ice-cream and dances with him on Chaand Raat.
Mahira Khan’s Saba is madly in love with her cousin Irtiza, played by Humayun Saeed. And heck, who cares about power shortages when there are dilemmas of the heart at hand? You couldn’t possibly know that this well-coiffured bunch lives in crime-ridden, loadshedding-struck Karachi. But he fails to register her hints and on a trip to the US, promptly proceeds to fall in love with another cousin, Saman (Armeena Rana Khan) Mahira Khan’s Saba is madly in love with her cousin Irtiza (Humayun Saeed). Yes, the family does occasionally get balked by the odd death or two but they are able to get over them miraculously quickly. Bin Roye comes candy-wrapped in shiny Karan Johar-esque foil, complete with a doting dadi, happy parents, strong family values and enough moolah for our protagonists to have grandiose weddings, make spur-of-the-moment trips to the US and be clad head-to-toe in designer-wear. Even the storyline - adapted from the novel by Farhat Ishtiaq who also wrote the much-acclaimed ‘Humsafar’ - is reminiscent of the romantic angst that one identifies with Momina’s dramas.Īt most times, though, directors Momina Duraid and Shahzad Kashmiri have struck an adequate pace for the movie, refraining from letting scenes drag and keeping the plot interesting. With drama director extraordinaire Momina Duraid at the helm, the movie certainly is replete with dramatic pauses. Hum Network is renowned for its hit dramas and following that lead, does Bin Roye occasionally slip towards drama mode? Yes, as expected.
Most girls don’t come prettier than Mahira Khan and because of all this, Hum Films’ Bin Roye is probably going to be a box office success. We revel in the whole shebang: brooding hero, moony-eyed heroine, song, dance, death and an inevitable happy ending.Īnd we adore bright colors, fabulous fashion and pretty faces.
