Tere Bin Laden : Dead Or Alive
Critic reviews and ratings
-
The film sets the premise and labours in detailing every sequence, but somehow it doesn't add up.
-
...doesn't live up to the first part.
-
...is hugely dependent on its writing and the director’s understanding of political and social nuances, but it seems Sharma has deliberately toned down his film.
-
Promising premise. Interesting situations get repetitive, jokes unfunny and film bizarre.
-
What this oversimplistic film lacks, is sharp writing.
-
We don’t make broad comedies which border on the absurd and it’s good of Abhishek Sharma to attempt a political satire that does tickle the ivories. A little more attention to editing and tauter screenplay would have made it a better film for sure…
-
The satire is genuinely fun for a while and then it all starts getting repetitive.
-
The performances of actors and extras stand out but not the puns and humour.
-
...is completely devoid of whimsy. And, if it aspires to be a satire, there’s little bite or ambition in its pedestrian approach and trivial resolutions.
-
If you have loved the first film, this one doesn't live up to its expectations.
-
...generates start-up potential, some smiles, some laugh-out-loud lines, but it keeps petering out.
-
For want of the inspired writing that launched the franchise, it rests mostly on deadwood ideas that are as insubstantial as they are prone to rapid disintegration.
-
What I found missing in the sequel was the audacity of the first film where the director and the team had nothing to lose.
-
...a halfhearted attempt in what could have been a promising tongue – in – cheek comedy.
-
While the first film had a unique concept and was simple in its narration, the second part looks contrived and is all over the place.
-
...is not crude or distasteful in the manner of low-brow comedies we have seen emerging from Bollywood in the past. It is just proof – since so many people seem to need proof – that comedy is one of the hardest things to achieve in the arts.
-
...tries very hard to squeeze humour out of a contrived plot.
-
It sounds great only on paper for the execution is sloppy and the writing lacks wit.
-
There's not much on offer here as entertainment.
-
The jokes are desperate, the performances so hammy they hurt, and the meta device overused to the point of misplaced self-congratulation, since this story was obviously dead on arrival.
