Satire may be the point of "Tere Bin Laden," but its low-key charm mostly comes from its dotty twist on the let's-put-on-a-show plot as Ali and his eccentric helpers make their videos.
Rachel Saltz, New York Times
Overview
Ali Hassan (Ali Zafar), a reporter with a downmarket TV channel in Karachi, is keen to go to USA for a better life, but his visa has been refused six times in seven years. In desperation, he gets hold of an Osama Bin Laden look alike and makes a fake Osama tape which he sells to the owner of his channel to raise money for a false identity, a new passport and better luck with US visa. As one can expect, it is far from smooth sailing for him and his friends, as they get into a series of comic situations.
