Mahira Khan, who has mastered portraying innocence effortlessly, brings Saba’s delightful free-spiritedness to life. Everything she had ached for becomes hers, but in circumstances so dramatically twisted that she can only see it as destiny’s grand retribution.
And when Saba’s feelings for Irtaza are finally reciprocated, they come in a package too painful for her to accept. Driven by envy, Saba begins to detest her sister who she has only just learnt to love as her own. Before Saba’s early fondness can mature into a more profound devotion, she finds herself competing for Irtaza’s affection with Saman (Armeena Rana Khan), who is revealed to be Saba’s biological sister - given away, at birth, to a couple who were unable to conceive a child of their own. However, while her love is not unrequited, it certainly is unrecognised. She presumes an absolute and indisputable right over him. Saba (Mahira Khan) has loved her paternal cousin, Irtaza (Humayun Saeed), since childhood. Producer-director, Momina Duraid, and writer Farhat Ishtiaq’s first foray into filmmaking, tells the story of an innocent affection that slowly transforms into a passion so deep that it becomes a girl’s darkest desire. Bin Roye, a film packed with such values, does not necessarily go that far, but it does explore the darker shades of desire. According to Plato, “Human behaviour flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.” However, in some South Asian value systems, desire is touted as a grave evil that stands at the root of other great sins.
