Bin Roye Drama With English Subtitles
Basa Benejan
As my weekly sunday treat concludes this weekend, I would like to pause and appreciate the wonderful journey that I have been on, these past seventeen weeks. For anyone who has read my reviews, I am pushed to write only when something touches me. I write in appreciation rather than to find fault. To be honest, I have been wanting to write about Bin Roye since it started but until now, I have not felt ready to talk about how much I have fallen in love with this story all over again.
From anger to struggling with acceptance to dealing with remorse and then resentment, Saba goes through it all. She makes more mistakes to fix what she views as her biggest mistake. She clings onto a nonsensical marriage as her penance. When that fails, she behaves in a way that she hopes will convince her family that a marriage with Irtiza was impossible. Yet once again, she is forced to accept defeat.
Irtiza is the kind of man who every woman seeks -gentle, forgiving, dutiful, caring and patient to a fault. He proves himself throughout the story to be a man who is worthy of being put on the pedestal.
Saba loses a man whom she loves more than anyone, to a woman whom she cannot hate. In a fit of temper, she voices her inner frustrations and that moment becomes the defining moment in this story . From this point, Saba commences on the most bumpy journey of all the characters.
The struggle between guilt and love is apparent as Saba becomes a cold and detached version of herself. Where we complain that female characters in Pakistani dramas are painted as baicharis, Saba is no baichari. She is spoilt and is used to getting her way until she realizes the heavy burden of one of her tantrums. She is the heroine and the villian in her own love story.
What makes chemistry work is hard to explain but you can sense it along with the characters themselves. There is an electric atmosphere on the screen and in your living room. Bin Roye has many moments of heightened emotion, tension and crackling chemistry between Irtiza and Saba. Can I request that Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan are cast together again please!
Javed Sheikh as the doting father and Zeba Bakhtiar as the sometimes expressionless but always beautiful mother, are a treat to watch. Each and every character has held their own and added a certain charm to the finished product.
Armeena Khan was a good casting choice as the sensible Saman. Her accent added a certain credibility to her character. Junaid Khan as the fickle Safir did not have much scope, performance wise; However I must comment that I have rarely seen him look better than he does in Bin Roye. The actress cast as Sonia is another worthy addition.
With a heavy heart, I prepare myself to bid farewell as this drama comes to an end tomorrow. As I wait with a mxture of anticipation and sadness, can i take this opportunity to thank the entire team of Bin Roye for an unforgettable and uplifting journey.
When you strive to create beauty, you do succeed despite all the hurdles. I dedicate this article to you all as one of the many silent fans of this drama. Hope you enjoyed it as much as i enjoyed watching Bin Roye.
Beautifully written, I understand very little of the language, there were no subtitles available, but I enjoyed the series wholeheartedly, I felt every emotion. Your article helps me understand the story in depth. Thank you, I am a big fan of Mahira khan.
Awesome review. Perfectly discussed every aspect. Though the whole serial revolving around Humayun Saeed aka Irtiza Ghazanfar, all the aspects r covered perfextly. Yeah i agree Maaz should b there and it hppened twice since am watching tv dramas, i wished there wud b 1 more epi. 1 in dhoop kinarey and now in bin roye. 1 more epi to share their togetherness and love with all though its obvious. Be it the hand hold of dhoop kinarey aor the proposal hug in bin roye. It defines that they lived happily ever after. But still just like a bit incomplete story. U can contradict to what i said. But the story defined by a viewer is awesomly written by u. Hates off.

Bin Roye is based on the original novel Bin Roye Ansoo by Farhat Ishtiaq. The film was released worldwide on 18 July 2015, the day of Eid-ul-Fitr.[12][13] Bin Roye was praised by the critics.[14][15] It is the tenth-highest-grossing Pakistani film. Bin Roye was later adapted into a television series with the same name, that premiered on Hum TV on 2 October 2016.[16]
The film starts by introducing Saba Shafiq (Mahira Khan) and Irtaza's (Humayun Saeed) relationship. Saba is hopelessly in love with Irtaza, but he treats her like his best friend, not a love interest. Irtaza then leaves for the US for two years, where he meets Saman Shafiq (Armeena Khan) and falls in love with her. Saman is Saba's elder sister, and she was given to her uncle and aunt as a child. Saman's foster parents die when a plane headed for Germany crashes, and Irtaza brings her back to Pakistan. Upon learning that she has an elder sister, Saba is at first overjoyed, but her happiness quickly turns to disdain when she learns that Irtaza and Saman are in love and are to be married.
Later, Irtaza and Saman come to Karachi with their son Maaz. On Maaz's birthday, Saman plans to get a birthday cake and some flowers for her mother. However, tragedy occurs as Saman is hit by a car in front of Saba (who once prayed to God that Saman should die, because she wanted to marry Irtaza and hated the fact that her sister was marrying him). Saman dies on the way to the hospital. Before dying, she whispers in Saba's ears that both Irtaza and Maaz are now Saba's. Meanwhile, as Maaz is a child in need of a mother's love, Saba's grandmother suggests to her parents that she should marry Irtaza. Saba doesn't agree, and says yes to marrying someone else. On her wedding day Irtaza finds out that Saba's family is unaware that the man she's marrying is already married and has a son. Irtaza gets very angry and confronts Saba, who cries and tells him that it's too late to stop the wedding now since they are actually at the wedding. However, Irtaza drags her to their family and tells them the truth. Their family is shocked and they decide Saba should not marry that guy. Then, to the surprise of everyone present, Irtaza announces that he will marry Saba. Saba has a difficult time accepting her marriage and was in trauma that she might be the cause of Saman's death, but after a dramatic turn of events finally Irtaza came to know the whole story and recognized the love of Saba, and declares his love for her. The movie ends with Irtaza and Saba together at last.
