hello everyone! new to the forum! all caught up with the 10 episodes of the show and I have quite a few things to say(actually, a lot😆), mostly about the latest episodes!
the whole hate to love trope has been done to death across all fiction templates: books, movies or tv shows, yet somehow it manages to bring in audience every single time. (if done well, obviously)! Tere Bin is no different, but still quite unfitting to be put into a classic hate-to-love romance. The teasers and posters had me intrigued! Meerab and Murtasim, individually and together did manage to create quite some sparks. What remains to be seen is whether these sparks will create an intensely burning, all-consuming love between these two heirs of a feudal family, who are helplessly bound into marriage! yes, helplessly! 🥺
Beginning with Meerab, she hates the family she's born into, which is legitimate. Because, come on, the way they dropped the truth on her, when she’s already trying to runaway from an engagement, it was terribly insensitive and unfair. A father who deserted her at birth, and never in her infantile years tried to get her back👎🏼. A head of the family, who enforces patriarchy just as equally as the freedom she grew up with😵. And lastly, the jaanasheen of the family, Murtasim who is just as conservative as his Maa, who wouldn’t hold back his hands at the slightest rebellion from her😡 and also, her possible groom. Her meagre expectations lied in her foster parents, but when that door didn’t open (that was cruel, Waqas and Anila! Bacchi ko andar toh bulaa lete!), she was truly forsaken. That is the moment where she made up her mind about getting married, because no way, she could live in that house as a girl who was once abandoned and now accepted. Also, as immature as she appeared in the last episode, I found her really smart too with this whole contract marriage thing😆. There is no way murtasim would have accepted ‘HER’ terms and conditions, unless he was cornered and left in a weak spot infront of the khandaan! This marriage is nothing but a way of getting through life for her because she’s left with nothing else to do. Murtasim right now is nothing but a channel for her to direct her suppressed resentment, agitation and all sorts of negative emotions she has for the family but the only reason she’s able to do so is because Murtasim TAKES it from her and is right now, the only person she’s somewhere close to. What’s interesting is that Murtasim clearly has a LIMIT upto which he can tolerate meerab’s unpredictability and her volatile behaviour. From Yumna’s IV, it is clear that Meerab is going to screwup and that is where Murtasim will back off! I hope they fall in love by then because, angst toh banta hai! 😈
Coming to Murtasim, can I say, Wahaj is ACING it! The moustache, the persona, hotness personified! as a character, Murtasim is both confusing and paradoxical to his standing in the family. The man has such a great personality but gives in way too easily, contradicting his ruff-n-tuff image. Even Haya has some level of hold over him (hate to admit ,but yeah 😭). Meerab, one day, will rule his heart for sure, because the guy is already out of the dislike phase. For a guy as closed off as him, its impossible that he gave into the marriage without having a liking for meerab or without considering the fact that she’s his EQUAL in every possible manner. The contract marriage is bound to get him spiralling because in his personal, most intimate space, he likes to keep things under his control, which won’t happen now. Poor guy! But I am certain about him charming his woman all the way, given that Meerab does not repel him further and does not push his boundaries. He is near to GONE for her, already! But anger management issues toh hai, upar se biwi bhi pin karne wali! 🤣
Haya baaji takes away murtasim’s classiness notches lower and I hope she serves nothing more than an unintended cupid between him and his wife. I won’t accept anything more than that. Maa-Begum should give up on the desperation to see the khandaan expanding because clearly her beta-bahu have miles to cover before they find each other. Anwer, at this point, should do nothing more than being a silent support to his daughter, whatever bratty things she does, the girl deserves some spoiling from the father atleast. Waqas and Anila are spineless anyways, so they can crawl on the ground, for all I care! 🤪
Overall, the show isn’t that well-written and the execution gets shoddy in parts but I am ready to overlook it all, solely because of what yumna and wahaj have managed to bring to the table!
Phew! Done! 😆
