Tere Bin, the most recent drama from Geo Entertainment, has Wahaj Ali and Yumna Zaidi as its main actors. It was anticipated to be a huge smash given the main couple's fan base and how eager the public was to see them reunited following the success of their last collaboration, Dil Na Umeed To Nahi.
Tere Bin was produced by Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi. It was directed by Siraj Ul Haq, and Nooran Makhdoom wrote the screenplay. The epic drama also stars Bushra Ansari, Sohail Sameer, Sabeena Farooq, Hira Somorro, Fazila Qazi, Farhan Aly Agha, Haris Waheed, Seemi Pashah, Mehmood Aslam, Agha Mustafa, and many more in pivotal parts. Wahaj and Yumna, who play Murtasim and Meerab, are also part of the cast.
Siraj Ul Haq, the director of 7th Sky Entertainment, and his team aim their shows to provide the audience an experience that is larger than life. While some people may enjoy the "fantasy entertainment" and others may not, the fact that it has been trending not just in Pakistan but also across the border, demonstrating that it does have a sizable following, cannot be ignored. After four episodes, it is safe to conclude that Tere bin has defied expectations and proven that it is not as cliché-ridden as it originally seemed, while being OTT (Over-the-top) like other 8 p.m. GEO dramas.
We first meet Murtasim in the opening scene, who comes from a powerful feudal family in Hyderabad. He is not truly a horrible guy, unlike the "toxic" heroes we have previously seen in the shape of Shamsheer or Mir Hadi, despite being unpleasant and egoistic on the majority of instances. His ability to understand the worries of a farmer who works for him reveals a genuine and sympathetic aspect to his personality. Murtasim enters the home of his opponent (Malik, played by Mehmood Aslam), who claims that the safety of his daughter is in danger, and holds his son at gunpoint while threatening him
.
On the other side, we observe that Meerab was brought up by a very loving father in Karachi (Waqas played by Farhan Aly Agha). She aspires to become a lawyer like her father, and unlike many female characters, she isn't afraid to speak her opinion or give up easy. Meerab is empowering to watch because she is fearless, powerful, opinionated, and feisty. She may, however, occasionally get sanctimonious and unpleasant.
Despite the fact that the two main characters live quite different lives, they have one thing in common—aside from their egos—which is an intolerance for injustice. She instantly transforms into a superwoman after witnessing the home treating wounds caused by domestic abuse, finds the offender on the street, and beats him up in front of a crowd. Not very realistic, but it was nonetheless encouraging to see a woman take the lead.
In another scene, we observe that Salma, called Bhabhi Begum (Bushra Ansari), and her brother-in-law, Anwar, must accept each and every life decision involving Meerab (Sohail Sameer). The fact that they are so possessive of Meerab suggests that she is not Waqas's biological child. In the subsequent episodes, when Anwar admits that he is the child's genuine father, it ultimately turns out to be true.
Anwar, who initially poses as a neighbour but is actually unhappy with Meerab's upbringing and independence, plans to return her to Hyderabad. Merab exhibits her unwillingness to accept the Khans throughout the serial, while Murtasim has a similar attitude towards Meerab. Played by Sabeena Farooq, Haya is another cousin who is head over heels for Murtasim. She has only ever imagined being his wife and governing the Khan Empire since she was a young child. When Bhabi Begum names Meerab as Murtasim's future wife, her hopes are dashed. Everyone, including Meerab and Murtasim, who despise one another and won't accept one another as husband and wife, is taken aback by the news.
Women are not used as scapegoats, according to Meerab, who supports her position with legislation and religious teachings. She does all in her ability to return to Karachi and is adamant about doing so, but she receives no help. Waqas is compelled to disclose Meerab's long-hidden actual identity. Although being in denial, Meerab does a wonderful job of conveying her suffering. As Meerab's mother was likely a Malik, it seems sense that the Khan family reared her outside of Hyderabad.
Although Tere Bin does have a star plus touch, trends show that people are still watching and enjoying it. For the audience that isn't seeking for depth and rationale in every scene, it is an OTT (over-the-top media) dream. It is a fascinating watch because to excellent production value and chemistry between the key actors, but it is 2023, and slapping for TRPs (Television Rating Point or Target Rating Point), as seen in the commercial, may destroy an otherwise excellent drama.
