Bin Roye was later adapted into a television series with the same name, that premiered on Hum TV in October 2016.
Bin Roye narrates the complexities of unfilled and one sided love and explores the emotional complexities that are endured on the course. The battle of right and wrong and power of emotions over the logic are the defining characteristics of this 2015 mega hit movie of the Pakistani cinema. The movie showcases a typical Pakistani upper middle class family, laced with cultural and religious values. Every character is perfect in their own domain, show casing the goodness of morality. Saba is the main lead of the film, which is sweet, charming and girl next door type of character, who does not know about any difficulty that life poses. Her love for Irtiza is also sweet and seems like pouring from the tranquil gardens of Eden. The eve of the garden (Saba) is jolted to reality when she meets her sister from America, which she didn’t know about. Despite this big revelation Saba enjoys her bond with her newly found sister, but soon this beautiful engagement turns into nightmare when Irtiza gets married to her sister. Saba, heartbroken, prays for the death of her sister, and she dies. Is this a right thing to do to pray for someone’s death? Coming this from a perfect girl like Saba is the most unexpected thing and why Farhat Ishtiaq did this, she can better comment on that. Situation takes a turn and Saba is got married to Irtiza and to look after a child as well. On this union Saba should have been happy but she becomes cold, and resentful. However Irtiza acts like an alpha male and is able to manage traumas of Saba and they start living happily ever after.
Bin Roye is entertaining, with enticing soundtracks embellished with the costumes designed by our talented fashion designers. Farhat Ishtiaq crafted characters and environment which is idealistic and too good to be true, but it is a positive aspect of story because viewers for some time forget the horrors lurking in the outside world. The movie has a family and say no to vulgarity appeal, which attracted a large number of people. Bin Roye sets a high bar in terms of story, direction, cinematography and music. The sequences are well connected and add value to the story. The movie is a complete package but can Farhat Ishtiaq give us a movie like Yeah Dil Mera?
