Our Take:

The show is a complex love story, with all the mature characters. They are connected and have a relation. Their love is incomplete. They all meet up and how their situation changes suddenly after eight years. The show brings story in a realistic manner, how character reacts naturally. The suffering of incomplete love, sacrifice and duty towards responsibilities is depicted well. The actors have less dialogues and more of expressions. There is much emoted by the actors’s natural reactions to the circumstances. Viewers can expect less fakeness and dramatic tracks in the show. None of the characters is complete positive or negative, but react to situation like a common person would.

It brings a realistic concept. The show is simple and viewers would love the show for simplicity and natural characters. The concept is just around character’s emotions and what they do in odd situations. The show brings lots of emotions and people who like mature love triangles will love it. Viewers can relate to the characters well. The leads are the plus point for the show. Gaurav Khanna holds good chemistry with Shefali Sharma and Khushboo. A great comeback for Shefali and Gaurav, and justified debut by Khushboo Tawde.

Overall:

The show’s tagline, the longing for love goes on well with the first week episodes. Tere Bin is different than current ongoing ones on other channels. The one who likes to see sensible and relatable love story can go for this show. Tere Bin serves a good concept with no typical hindi shows model.
