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.
