Tere Bin Laden

I happened to take my first steps out in the "Gaon" called Gurgaon...and i boarded the esteemed Metro to reach where i had to..the Metro journey was indeed a pleasure...and well maintained too...comfort is all i ask in this city now...!

Coming to the point...the movie Tere Bin Laden is an ebullient one...a satire on the way America looks at Pakistan...and the existence of "The Laden".

All in all i enjoyed it thoroughly..it starts with the dream of the ullu da pattha repoter..aka Ali Hassan..played marvelously by the good looking, Pakistani Popstar, Ali Zafar. His dream is shattered when he is deported from USA for suspicions of his being a part of the Taliban.

He does not give up hope and thus starts the zestful attempt of the novice reporter to get what he wants. He gropes in four other people, a make up artiste, a Radio Jockey to mimic Osama, a frustrated editor from the news channel he works for and his faithful friend. The team does the unimaginable.They make a gaon ka murgawala, who is gifted inherently with uncanny resemblence with Osama Bin Laden, to record a tape to be released in the media.

It all goes well till the team realizes that the repercussion of their act has had "deadly" effects on the masses, literally so to say. The Americans realise that the Pakistanis know where Osama is hiding but that does not stop them from bringing down parts of Afghanistan. When asked why this is being done, the prompt reply is that they have $100 million to find Osama and they have to spend it somewhere!

The movie is a perfect satire made even more apt by the recent comments made by Hillary Clinton on Osama's existence in Pakistan. The movie is welcomed well by the irrepressible laughters of the Indian movie goers, more-so as the movie is brilliantly shot for the Indian audiences depicting the "Amreeka" and Pakistan relationship.

Appreciable acting by Pradyuman Singh who plays "OSAMA", Ali Zafar and Barry John. If my mum, who is more of a love stories watcher, liked it, anyone will :)
