Tere Bin Laden is a fun flick almost shocked everybody via promos of the film in which the actor who plays Noora, a poultry farmer in the film looks exactly as Osama Bin Laden.

Even the idea would make you laugh, just try to imagine that the dangerous Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind of 9/11 World Trade Center is speaking in Punjabi, driving the truck and playing hand grenades like tennis ball.


It is the story of an ambitious young reporter, Ali Hasan, who wants to migrate to America however denied to migration post 9/11 by US visa officials.

A disappointed, Ali Hasan, then finds a quite a innovative cum creative way to make his mark in America. He came across a a poultry farmer named Noora in the film whose looks resembles of Laden, followed by which he convinces the guy, tapes his speech, produces a fake Osama video and sells it to news channels as a scoop to make his way to America.

The Movie is already craeting the sparks even before releasing as it has been banned in many parts of the world, including Pakistan and Gulf. Even the Walkwater Media, producer of the film, has received threats in the shape of an anonymous letter, threatening them with dire consequences if they release the film. Officials are not releasing the movie in US as of now.

It is believed that the Pakistani censor board decided to ban the film two days before release on grounds that Islamic extremists could use the screening of the film as a pretext for violence. The film is a satire featuring a lookalike of Al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden as a central character.

If we speak about the music, soundtrack name 'Ullu da pattha' composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is already a hit.

Amidst of all that serious cinema and repeated boring comedy of Hera-Pheri type, this new idea of debutant Abhishek Sharma who dared to bring out the lighter side of Laden image is a must see.

Rating - 3 / 5
