Ta RA Rum PUM


Siddharth Anand continues his winning streak with Ta RA Rum PUM. Ta RA Rum PUM is a story about a person who sees the highs of life and then goes down and bounces back finally.

Saif is RV (RanVeer Singh). Initially a Tyre Changer in Racing who becomes the ace Racer. Rani is Radhika, a student pursuing Music as Major who is referred in the movie as the Best Piano Player. RV meets Radhika as a tyre changer and with his lady luck, he goes on to become the best racer in the world winning all the races for about 6 years. At the peak of his career, RV plans little to make any savings and leads a very lavish life living on today without thinking about tomorrow. With each win, RV gets complacent and the fate strikes on the track where he meets with an accident and the world turns topsy turvy for this ace racer. RV tries to get back to track but finds his mind coming in way with a fear for tracks. The best racer becomes jobless and finds it even difficult to get enough food and pay school fees for his children. His son falls sick and with no other choice, RV takes up racing again to overcome his worst fears coming from deep within.

Saif has come a long way from the yeh dillagi days to the present day. He is one of the few versatile actors in Hindi Cinema today. Saif rocks in this movie. Rani has always been good and is getting better with every movie. The chemistry between Rani and Saif is the biggest plus of the movie. The way Saif calls Rani Shona is cool. Be it in the Aveo ad or the earlier movies Hum Tum, Rani & Saif appear to be one of the cutest pairs in Hindi Cinema. Javed Jaaferi repeats his Salaam Namasthe magic with his Gujrati accent and excellent performance. The kids Haji Ali (Rehaan of Fanaa) and Angelina Irani did their part well and are adorable. Apart from these characters, you have another important character who has got nothing to do with the movie. The character is the name "Chevrolet" seen in most of the movie.

The whole movie revolves around the racing track. At times the track doesnt look good enough to be a racing track. Maybe it could have made better.

Music is good. Especially the Hey Shona song is excellent with Shan and Sunidhi Chauhan making you sing along by the time the song gets finished. The title song is very good well complemented by apt lyrics.

Ta RA Rum PUM is a cool movie to beat the summer heat. Catch it up on silverscreen and you would thoroughly enjoy.
