The film garnered mixed to positive reviews. Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India, while giving it a rating of 4 out of 5 noted that "compared with recent laugh riots at box office, Tere Bin Laden has both: a smart script and some smart acting."[5] Noyon Jyoti Parasara of AOL rated the film 4 out of 5 and said, "What makes 'Tere Bin Laden' mint fresh is that despite being based on the post 9/11 scenario and the Laden scare, this one is a fun ride."[21] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and said, "On the whole, Tere Bin Laden is a fun-ride that makes you smile constantly and even laugh outrageously in those two hours."[22] Pankaj Sabnani of Bollywood Trade News Network gave it 3.5/5 and stated "Tere Bin Laden is 'laden' with many humorous moments. It is by far the funniest film in recent times. A must watch."[23] Rediff called the film a "brilliant satire". It further said, "Tere Bin Laden is not just a film about slapstick jokes and naughty humour. Through all the gags and jokes, one is forced to accept how willingly we compromise on our ideals and values to attain our cherished goals; how we persist in giving personal gain more importance than building a cohesive society".[24] The film received international media attention too with The Guardian terming the film as a "satire with a sting" and felt that the film "required viewing by the American Government".[25]

About the sequel, he said: "In our case, we unfortunately experimented too much. So people did not find 'Dead Or Alive' as alive as the first part. But then those are the learnings. But it was very challenging and we enjoyed making it. Unfortunately, it didn't do the kind of business or it could not have the same kind of impact that the first part had. But anyway, that happens in film business."
"As filmmakers, we should respect the sentiments of society, because we are a part of society. Maybe (one should) wait for the right time to get into collaborations again with talent from the other side," he added.
His character was extremely fond of his rooster in the first part and that seems to be retained in the sequel. His docile and frightened behaviour also seems to be another aspect similar from first part, as seen in the trailer.
The first part of the film showed how Noorabecomes Osama and suggests a peace treaty due to which the two countries becomefriends. Although with Osama Bin Laden dead now, we want to see how AbhishekSharma connects the plot with the real life situation.
"Tere Bin Laden" uses humor and satire to shed light on the way terrorism is sensationalized by the media and how it affects the lives of ordinary people. It explores the perception of Pakistanis in the post-9/11 world and the stereotypes associated with Muslims and terrorism. The film highlights the absurdity of the situation by presenting a comical scenario where a fake video becomes a global sensation.
The U.S. strike on al Qaeda leader Osama bin Ladencall it V-O Daydidnt end the war he unleashed. But it did mark an important victory in the ongoing struggle against al Qaeda, other jihadist groups, and their state patrons and partners. It also offers a number of important lessons for the broader war on terror.
Pakistan is neither friend nor foe
Since 9/11, there has been a debate in Washington over the dysfunctional Pakistani government, with one side arguing that Islamabad is doing its best to rein in its unwieldy intelligence service and military, and the other arguing that the Pakistani government is complicit in what its intelligence operatives doand what its military wont do.
Sadly, this wasnt the first or last time Pakistan has let its American allies down since 9/11. For example, Pakistani soldiers have sometimes surrendered their own territory rather than fight the Taliban and al Qaeda. Likewise, the Pakistani government has ceded vast stretches of the countrys laughably misnamed Federally Administered Tribal Areas to enemy forces. Pakistani troops have fired on NATO helicopters operating along the Afghanistan-Pakistan frontier (Anwar and Harris). After the bin Laden strike, Pakistan expelled two-thirds of the U.S. military personnel assigned to training the Pakistani army in counterinsurgency. Worse, U.S. officials recently confronted their Pakistani counterparts with evidence of cooperation between Pakistani agents and militants carrying out attacks in Afghanistan.
On the other side of the ledger, hundreds of Pakistani troops have been killed fighting the Taliban and its al Qaeda partners. Moreover, a high percentage of NATOs equipment in Afghanistan is carried into the landlocked country via Pakistan.
In other words, Pakistan is not a black-and-white problem, but rather a gray area.
At some point, winning the broader war will demand tough decisions in Islamabador recognition in Washington that Pakistan is part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
Afghanistan may no longer be the central front of this war
Reasonable people can and do disagree about the need to continue the nation-building effort in Afghanistan.
On one side, there is growing sentiment in Congress to declare victory and bring the troops home. With more than 1,580 American troops killed, $444 billion spent and a decade of commitment fighting the Taliban and al Qaeda, America has already made an enormous sacrifice building the institutions necessary to enable Afghanistan to resist the impulses to jihadism.
On the other side, there are those like Gen. David Petraeus who want to press the initiative. Petraeus recently reported that NATO has inflicted enormous losses on mid-level Taliban. He says that standing up new Afghan army units and creation of the Afghan Local Police is reintegrating reconcilable insurgents back into society, much like the Sons of Iraq program did during the surge he led in Iraq.
Petraeus and others wary of a rapid withdrawal are haunted by what happened the last time America lost interest in Afghanistan: When the Red Army was defeated and withdrew in 1988, America stopped caring about Afghanistanuntil September 11, 2001.
Indeed, when asked this past March why the U.S. should stay the course, Petraeus bluntly replied, Two wordsnine eleven, reminding Congress that America abandoned Afghanistan once before. I think it would be a mistake, a big mistake, to go down that road again.
Whether Washington declares victory sooner or later, it does seem the battlefront is shifting:
Winning will take time
We know that bin Laden is dead, but bin Ladenism is not. Those inspired by bin Laden and his al Qaeda network, as the 9/11 Commission warned in 2004, will menace Americans and American interests long after Osama bin Laden and his cohorts are killed or captured.
The hunt for bin Laden actually began long before 9/11. In fact, it was in 1996 that the CIA created a special unit devoted solely to tracking the terror mastermind. Two years later, after the embassy bombings in East Africa, the United States officially announced its war on bin Laden and al Qaeda. Noting that bin Laden had publicly vowed to wage a terrorist war against America, President Bill Clinton launched scores of cruise missiles at bin Ladens bases in Afghanistan and at facilities with purported links to al Qaeda in Sudan. Our battle against terrorism, Clinton presciently predicted, will be a long, ongoing struggle.
How long? In 2001, Admiral Michael Boyce, then-Chief of the British Defense Staff, compared the war against terrorism to the Cold War, warning that the post-9/11 campaign of campaigns may last 50 years.
Just as the targets on 9/11 were symbolic to the enemy, so is the killing of bin Laden largely symbolic. Its an important symbol, to be sure, sending a powerful message about Americas resolve, resilience and reach. But it pays to recall that the elimination of Yamamoto didnt end World War II; the death of Stalin didnt end the Cold War; and the end of bin Laden didnt clear the breeding grounds of terror.
Some wonder if it is in the economic or national interests of the United States to continue this war of indeterminate length. We might find part of the answer from no less an authority on economic behavior than Adam Smith, who noted that the first duty of the sovereign, that of protecting the society from the violence and invasion of other independent societies, can be performed only by means of a military force.
Unilateralism has its place and purpose
Contrary to the media mantras, President George W. Bush did not go it alone in Iraq or Afghanistan. But President Barack Obama did in Pakistan, and he was right to do so. Obama deserves credit for ordering SEAL Team 6 to eliminate bin Laden, who was a one-man command-and-control center. However, its ironic that the president chose this course of action. After all, as a candidate, Obama criticized the Bush administration for acting unilaterally, alienating allies and launching military operations without UN permission. Yet the bin Laden strike failed to meet any of these standards:
