Tere Bin Laden was a spoof on Osama Bin Laden as well as a comic satire on America's war against terror and the realities of the post-9/11 world. The film because of the novelty factor was a hit.
After 6 years the makers decided to release a sequel based on Osama Bin Laden’s mysterious death and the controversial counter reports claiming he is alive.

Osama bin Laden, the founder and head of the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011. If this sequel was released in 2011 maybe out of curiosity people would have seen it. After 5 years not only the topic becomes irrelevant the story is so predictable that after 15 minutes you can guess how it's going to end.
Manish Paul is the Bollywood director from small town who has given a hit and wants to repeat the success story. ( The same concept was used in Roy where Arjun Rampal, a highly successful film maker of Guns Trilogy is waiting to find the perfect climax for the third part of the film.) There is hardly any scene in the film where you can appreciate either his acting or his comic timing.
Pradhuman Singh as Osama's look alike is cute but we have already laughed on his simplicity in the first part.
Sikander Kher plays the role of U.S agent David. He has transformed himself so much that not even his mother Kiran Kher could have identified him in that getup. He looks ugly and irritating. If there was any chance of him getting roles of hero's friend I think after this film all his hopes will be shattered.

There is a poor man's Obama too in the film who has to give a proof to his countrymen that Osama was actually killed in 2011. This Obama is haunted by the ghost of Osama so much that after some scenes we see him lying on the psychiatrist's couch.
The comedy scenes are so cliché that you wait for the film to end. That the film is just 104 minutes long is a blessing in disguise.
In a line there are 101 better ways of spending your money than watching this film.
Highly Avoidable
