Preview: Tere Bin Laden

Plot: An ambitious young news reporter from Pakistan, Ali, is desperate to migrate to the US in pursuit of the American dream. But his visa is always rejected. Suddenly one day, he comes across an Osama bin Laden look-alike. Ali then hatches a scheme to produce a fake Osama video and sell it to news channels as a breakthrough scoop! Unfortunately, there are serious ramifications as the White House gets involved.

Expectations: The new star cast film will have to depend upon positive word of mouth to do the trick. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s music, however, is catching on, particularly the Ulla da pattha song.
