Tere Bin (2022–2023)
9/10
The era of Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai has ended. This is the beginning of new era... This is TERE BIN era!!
16 March 2023
I am a great fan of Yumna Zaidi. I watched her Inkaar, Pyar Ke Sadqay, Ishq Zahe Naseeb, Dil Na Umeed To Nahi, Parizaad, Ishq e Laa, Sinf e Aahan, Yeh Raha Dil, Pukaar, Zara Yaad Kar, Bakhtawar etc before. Watched Wahaj's Ishq Jalebi, Ehd e Wafa, DNUTN, Mah e Tamam, Fitoor etc. Both of them worked before in Dil Na Umeed To Nahi (I loved this drama too). After watching this one, I was thinking makers should cast them in a new drama. That's why when I watched the trailer of Tere Bin, I was so keen to watch this drama. The first few episodes were quite cliched but the rest of them made history. Wow!! Last time I was so hooked with pak dramas were some Ramadan dramas such as Chupke Chupke, Ishq Jalebi and Chaudhry and Sons. These were comedy dramas so that's a different thing. Tere Bin is such an intense drama but surprisingly quite entertaining. Yumna is so versatile actress we all know that but this time Wahaj surprised me a lot. He never portrayed a role like Murtasim before. And only Yumna can portray the best Meerab of course. The drama doesn't have any unique story line, I completely agree with that. But it's really difficult to make a drama that contains a very simple story but still it manages to entertain you a lot. My Nanii (my Grandmother) and I are enjoying this drama so much. Both Meerab and Murtasim have some flaws in their characters but they shine in their own ways. Their good characteristics covers all the flaws. I'm so pleased with the writer. She delivered such an amazing job. But what I didn't like is the slap scenes. This kind of activity doesn't suit the characters like Murtasim and Maa Begum. And it's high time we should stop promoting this.

I used to think maybe it's not possible to make dramas like Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai where we adore the chemistry between the main leads. But after watching Tere Bin I am convinced it's still possible. What we really need is good writer and director. There are lots of good actors in the industry. I am so pleased that Yumna and Wahaj got these roles as no other actors can portray these two iconic characters better than them. I really wish YumHaj will be cast again as a lead couple in a good drama.

Tere Bin will be remembered for a long time like Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai. It has become a modern romantic classic. In addition to Wahaj-Yumna has become an iconic onscreen couple like Fawad-Sanam and Fawad-Mahira. Finally the era of Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai has ended. This is the beginning of new era... This is TERE BIN era!! Nooran Makhddom, Siraj ul Haque, GEO TV, Wahaj, Yumna and all the cast and crew did brilliant job indeed.

One of the Stupidest Films of 21st Century
5 October 2020
I will never get back those 2 hours. What a nonsense story !!! People who loved this film have no sense of good films. Also, all the jury members of National Awards were lost their senses and they voted for Kangana for this stupid film. She was deserving for Fashion only. Queen was good but not great, Parvathy was the most deserving actress for that year (For Charlie and Ennu Ninte Moideen). All the audiences who loved these two films (Part 1 & 2), they just love all kinds of melodrama of typical Hindi Serial. Just don't go for it if you have a very good taste in watching good films. Your valuable time will be saved.

Khubsoorat (1980)

Heartwarming Family Entertainment
7 February 2020
One who said "Old is gold", maybe said the best thing in the entire life. This is so true in terms of books and movies. I am a great fan of old school things. My friends sometimes called me dramatic for this, as these things are so uncool for 90's kids. But whatever for me, old movies are the best. Today's movies are good too, but old movies are really very special. They will give you the pure entertainment. They are so related too life, they are so real.

This movie is too sweet. You won't need to wear a fake smile while watching it. A smile will come on your face automatically. Each and every character was so beautiful. A cute family has been created so beautifully by Hrishikesh Mukherjee that everyone desires to tell but nobody tells. This movie is remade but that was so awful. I don't know why the new one is made? It was not at all necessary.

I loved this movie and I will explore lots of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's creations in the future hopefully.

The "DQ" Factor
3 February 2020
Well, Dulquer Salman was the only reason I watched this movie. As a fan I wish him to select his scripts wisely next time. Also, SRK's narration was another thing that I loved. Zoya Factor is just an average time-pass movie. Neither you will like it, nor hate it. The character of Zoya Solanki is way too irritating for me. On the other hand, I liked Nikhil Khoda's characterization. He was the only normal thing in the movie. The movie's primary message was against the superstitions that lots of people think as a normal thing. But unfortunately I don't know how many people have understood this properly, since I personally think Nikhil Khoda's character should have been glorified much than it did in the movie. In addition to, the makers focused on unnecessary things rather than where they needed to focus. The movie had a potential to be a nice romcom and entertaining stuff but the makers couldn't make so.

A Must Watch for Me on a Lazy Rainy Day
13 November 2018
This film is my personal favorite. I'm not Indian and this was probably my sixth Malayalam film that I have watched so far. Before this one, I watched Dulquer's Charlie, Bangalore Days and Ustad Hotel. In terms of quality, this film can not match with these three masterpieces. In addition to, the story is not extra ordinary but there is something in this movie. At first, I thought it will be a typical love at first sight film. But I was wrong watching the scene before the interval. It's such a cute romcom. In order to understand the real essence of this film, watch this on a rainy day. You will get an old school feel with the song 'Hridayathin Niramayi'. I don't understand this language, but this song is one of my most favorite songs of all time. About the cast, all I can say I am a great fan of Dulquer and Nithya and they didn't disappoint me. Everybody loves this duo in O Kadhal Kanmani, but I love this one more. OK Kanmani was an okay film for me but this one is so special. I became a fan of Jenuse Mohammaed as well and I'm looking forward to his next project. In short I can say, this is not a must watch movie for everyone, but unexpectedly it has become a must watch for me on a lazy rainy day.

One of the Best Suspense Thriller Movies of Bollywood
24 August 2015
What I really love the most about this film is the songs. The music is so magical and a little bit mysterious...Viju Shah did a brilliant job undoubtedly...'Mere Khwabon Mein Tu', 'Mushkil Bada Yeh Pyaar Hai', 'Gupt Gupt', 'Yeh Pyaar Kya Hai' and 'Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela' - these are my personal favorites...

Moving on to the great performances of the three leads...'Bobby Deol' beautifully played a character who is wrongly framed for the murder of his father...During my childhood I was not so fond of 'Manisha Koirala'. But after watching her 'Gupt', 'Dil Se', 'Khamoshi' and 'Bombay', I've started liking her a lot...She is such a brilliant actress...I like to watch 'Kajol' with SRK on screen...My favorite movies of Kajol are - Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and My Name Is Khan...She is paired with SRK in all of these films...Besides these films, I liked her in Gupt and Dushman where she is not paired with SRK...This film is undoubtedly a milestone of these three leads' careers...

Finally, I just want to say if anybody like to watch suspense thriller Hindi film, I must say this is a must watch movie for him/her...

Such a Sweet and Beautiful Movie!!!
16 July 2015
It's one of my favorite Hindi movies of Rani Mukherjee, who is one of my most favorite actresses...It's remake of a Malayalam film named Chandralekha which is directed by Priyadarshan. I have watched the original as well. There are some changes in the Hindi version but the main story is the same. I love both Chandralekha and HDJPK. Here, Chandra's character is portrayed by Rani and Preity played the role of Lekha. The story, casts, songs everything are good...Actually, the story is okay but sometimes an ordinary piece can be such an extra-ordinary thing...All the songs are excellent...I like most 'Piya Piya' and 'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega'...I love the duo of Rani and Preity so much...They set a major friendship goal...And the ending!!!...It can't be expressed in words...Shah Rukh and Salman are singing together the famous song from the Raj Kapoor's film Sangam...The 'Karan' and 'Arjun'!!!...This scene was not there in Chandralekha. That's why I love HDJPK's ending more.
