Introduction

Tere Bin is a new drama on HAR PAL GEO (Well, it’s not that new). Here’s a snippet from Geo’s official YouTube channel.

Meerab is an ambitious and beautiful young girl who wants to pursue higher studies. Her entire world revolves around her parents and she believes in them the most. Her strong and confident personality makes her stand against social injustices around her.

On the contrary, Murtasim hails from a powerful and influential family. He respects and values the morals and traditions of his family and refuses to let the family down.

Meerab’s life takes an unexpected turn when she finds out about her family’s decision regarding her and Murtasim’s life. Meerab’s hatred towards Murtasim continues to grow as a family secret from the past resurfaces. Coming from different backgrounds and mindsets, Murtasim begins to realize Meerab’s arrogant behaviour towards him and begins to consider her a challenge for himself. On the other hand, Meerab who is used to living her life on her own terms refuses to accept Murtasim’s family traditions and unnecessary social barriers.

Soon their lives go through a series of emotional sufferings and misunderstandings where it becomes difficult for them to coexist. Despite their hatred towards each other, will Meerab and Murtasim accept their true feelings or will the dynamics of ego and self-respect force them to stay apart?

Tere Bin Episode 45 Written Update and Review

Assalam Alaikum dear readers,

Shabana Mukhtar here, to recap and review the latest episode of Tere Bin.

Maryam fighting Meerub’s case

Okay, so Maryam is quite confident these days as she has nothing to lose.

Maryam: Don’t punish Meerub for what I did, what Malik Zubair did.

Her long monologue makes Salma Begum think, it makes Murtasim think. Whether they change their mind about Meerub or not, is yet to be seen.

Maryam: Jab tak Meerub nahin aayengi, main iss ghar se rukhsat nahin hone wali.

Hira Somroo gives her finest performance in this scene. And she looks pretty while she weeps. Very few people manage to do that, don’t you think?

Also, Maryam and Waqas both are fighting from Meerub’s side. Why can’t anyone see the wrong that Meerub did?

Meerub being Meerub

Meerub meets her friend Saba. And she plays the victim card. She’s like

Meerub: Aitbar mohabbat ki seerhi hoti hai. He didn’t trust me, didn’t even listen to me.

Behen, what do you want from him? How could he trust you when he saw you open the gates for Maryam so she could elope with Malik Zubair. Did she still want to be forgiven, yet again?

And to make this weirder, Saba says two things, both making no sense and in stark contradiction.

Saba: Meerub, you’ve fallen in love with Murtasim. Ab Rohail ka kya hoga?

Abey? When did Meerub say she had anything to do with Rohail? Sure, she did agree to go with Rohail to his house and witness his obsession. And, when Murtasim asked her to never see Rohail again, she refused to promise. But, she never was interested in Rohail. She’s just stupid to go with him whenever he asks her to.

As he does in this episode.

And, Murtasim sees this. He follows them, sees Meerub talking to Rohail and just turns around to leave, because he has seen enough, because he’s speechless.

Oh, I must note the conversation between Rohail and Meerub. It made me cringe, SO HARD. For one, Saba was sitting there, listening to Rohail’s unabashed confession of love; that was so weird. Secondly, Rohail repeatedly tells Meerub that they should start afresh, but then he also raises a question that was bothering him the most.

Rohail: The contract is still intact between you two, right?

Meerub: (nods)

Rohail: You’re only mine, Meerub.

I was like: what was that? So, he is only interested in Maryam because there is no “azdwaji talluqat” between her and Murtasim. How dare he even ask that? How could Meerub even respond to that other than “none of your effing business”?

As I said before, it was pure cringe. My advice for Saba is, get a life.

Salma Begum’s change of heart

Upset, Murtasim comes back home. Salma Begum asks Murtasim to bring Meerub back. So, we can conclude that Maryam’s plea did work. Murtasim went to get Meerub, and now Salma Begum is also like: bring Meerub home.

Murtasim: I won’t bring her back. Chhod diya na, bas, chhod diya.

Kya kisi ko Yashvardhan Raichand ka dialogue yaad aaya? No? Just me, then.

Later, while talking to Haya, Salma Begum raises a fair point: Waqas put all the blame on others and cleared Meerub’s name as if she was innocent. Main bhi yahi bola thha na episode 44 ke review mein?

I know, some people might still be seeing Meerub as the victim, but I just can’t see it.

Review

Did anyone notice that almost everyone wore cream colour in this episode? Saba and Haya, Salma Begum and Maryam and our very own Murtasim… I liked the colour coordination.

This episode had several (almost 10) flashbacks reducing the actual runtime (-15 minutes at least), also there were two more-than-a-minute long dhidhing-dhidhing music scenes, Murtasim coming to the restaurant.

And this is just to show the drastic a moment’s delay could cause.

If it wasn’t for the flashbacks, this episode was quite alright. Now we wait for tomorrow’s episode.
