Ta Ra Ram Pum has all the ingredients of a family movie - a couple, kids, a doggie, some comedy and some struggle. Saif and Rani's performances, a good direction and a fairly good music makes it worth watching. Golu https://bollyfilmreviews.blogspot.com/

by Bhargav Saikia Every Yash Raj film comes tagged with colossal expectations and their first production of 2007, Ta Ra Rum Pum, was no different. A stellar cast, an able director and a big banner, the film had it all as a back up to strike big. But does the film deliver what it promises? We discuss that next. The Plot - New York based racing car champion Avi (Saif Ali Khan) suffers an accident during one of his races and due to injuries he is forced to keep out of the racing tracks for a year. But when he returns to racing a year later, he goes through emotional turmoil due to flashbacks of how he had met with the accident during his last race. He loses his speed and is ultimately fired from his team. Consequently, his family is forced to leave their posh apartment in Manhattan and move to a poor locality at Queens. The rest of the story tells us about the difficulties that his family face and how he manages to overcome his emotions and emerge as a winner once more. Screenplay - To begin with, Ta Ra Rum Pum falters as a film which is primarily due to its cliché ridden script. The screenplay by Habib Faisal is very predictable and uses numerous tried and tested methods to breathe emotions into the film. The film evidently borrows from Hollywood films like Cinderella Man and Life is Beautiful. Nothing about the screenplay seems right as it has nothing new and novel to offer. Sequences like Avi's taxi driver friends functioning as the pit crew and Avi driving his taxi ahead of the speed limit to JFK Airport are very much laughable. Also, the cute factor introduced in the film (with the two kids) does not work. Cinematography - Camera work and locations are very good. New York has been captured well and gels very well with the plot of the film. Sound is of good quality and also background music is quite effective although not very impressive. Action sequences are excellent. Infact apart from the performances, the racing sequences are the only worthwhile part of the film. Art direction by Sharmistha Roy, Christina Barth and Linda Jean Marlowe is good and supports the mood of the film very well. Music - Music by Vishal Shekhar is mediocre. None of the tracks are of repeat value. Hey Shona is the only track that stands out, but again it offers nothing new. Performances - The saving grace of the film are the performances by the lead actors. Saif is very likeable and proves yet again that he is very dependable when it comes to acting. Rani emotes well but she is getting repetitive with the kind of roles she is portraying. Chemistry between Rani and Saif is excellent as usual. Javed Jaffrey and Victor Banerjee are convincing. The two child actors do their parts well and bring in the 'cute factor' that the director wanted for the film. Direction - Director, Siddharth Anand, made an impressive debut with Salaam Namaste but he falters with his current outing due to a poor script. He has handled few scenes very well like the emotional outburst between Rani and Saif when Rani reveals the truth to their children and manages to get good performances from his actors. Only if he had concentrated on the script more, he would have gone one level higher from his debut. Overall, Ta Ra Rum Pum is very mediocre. The film may find patronage mainly due to the family audiences but the prospect of a long run at the box office seems bleak. Watch TRRP only for the seasoned performances and make sure to leave high expectations behind. RATINGS : 1. Overall Film - 2 / 5 2. Direction - 2.5 / 5 3. Performances - 4 / 5 4. Cinematography - 4 / 5 5. Editing - 3.5 / 5 6. Music - 2.5 / 5

I must say, before writing my opinion I watched Taran Adarsh's review on India FM and the guy praised this movie in a good way I would say. This man knows how to surely make you feel convinced what he thinks. The man is praising for actings of Saif Rani (not mentioning kids) plus car racing and hardly giving any information if the story reflects in different way as nowadays we see lots of remakes and adaptions from Hollywood flicks. eg. in this case Talladega Nights, Life is Beautiful and some bits and pieces. Maybe YRF are in the real race in movie business wants to crossover to the west and be the first house to make big commercial success. I would say try harder but with excellent original scripts like they used to do before. e.d Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.

Crap..the only good part of the movie was the kids who have done a good job. Saif was okay but rani was horrible. The story was not originial at all. Too many flaws like: 1.Why didnt rani save for the rainy day as that was the imp message that the movie was trying to send out. 2. I didnt know that you could register and have a F1 race overnight. The doctors had given saif's son only 2 days. 3. If saif wanted money and didnt mind being insulted why didnt he go to his father in law for help?? over all - you expect better from Yashraj movies.

Helathy Script, Touchy Dialogues, Lot of Indian Emotions and last but not the least Novel and Fresh Car Racing for Indian Cinema. Well Executed By USA Action Coordinators with Binod Pradhan. Habiba Faisal ( script & dialogue ) must be the real winner of the movie. Also better direction From Siddharth. On the Whole A Feel Good Movie for Toal Family Members.

well what can i say another crownin glory in yash raj camp. exploitation of indian audience at its best. yash raj really thinks we r stupid. u borrow 30 minutes from 10 different hollywood movies and make a 3 hour movie. how ridiculous is dat? this has to stop. seein the movie it was a deja vu experience. every scene reminded of some hollywood movie. hwo do u get away with stuff like this? we have to stop doin this. it is givin a bad name not only to indian film industry alias bollywood( now we know why) but also to us. yash raj probably spend a fortune in this movie, for the race cars , couldnt u spend something and atleast come up with a original concept or story. below are the names of the hollywood movies from where it looks like tara rum rum pum has been "inspired" from: driven, taxi, life is beautiful, cinderalla man, talladega nights, fun with dick and jane. and one last thing pls give ny city a break.

[SIZE=14][b][color=orange]Ta[/SIZE][color=green]Ra[/color] [color=blue]Rum[/color] [color=red]Pum[/color][/b][/color] [color=orange][b][u]Sallu's Review: [/u][/b][/color] Yash Raj films is back after D2! With Tara Rum Pum, they venture into a new zone- Racing cars. But before we talk about Tara Rum Pum, let's talk about Jhoom BARABAR Jhoom. The film looks 'RockinG'. Preity never looked so hot, sexy and gorgeous! I'm seriously ga-ga over her right now. Just cant wait to see her sizzle onscreen. The promo does rock. LOL at Abhishek! I had started disliking him of late due to some reasons but honestly I cannot wait for his performance! He's going to be outstandingly hilarious. Watch out for him and Preity! Amitabh was the usuul fool, essaying 'new' looks. Bobby was hardly there BUT Lara: Ohh Myy Goossh! :thud: Super gorgeous! I quite the title track JBJ! Its soo much fun and the choreography is simply fabulous! The first promo has set my expectations quite high for this now. I hope YRF continue promoting this movie and by promoting, I mean 'good' promotion. Not like the way they promoted Tara Rum Pum. Okay back to the latter now... Tara Rum Pum is a sparkling example of qualitative cinema. Cinema that enlightens. Cinema that entertains. Cinema that leaves you saying 'whoa'. It is the kind of impeccably crafted film that touches you deeply and leaves you with a smile on your face. Not to forget that the message it gives is heartwarrming. I'm not implying that the film is a masterpiece or anything BUT it's definitely one of the most well-crafted film in the last months. It is a complete family entertainer. Tara Rum Pum undoubtedly works big time mainly due to its sincerity. It has a simple story but yet manages to grab your attention all through. The movie starts off with Princess narrating the sory. I, as usual, wont re-write the story and just comment on it. As I previously said, its simple but yet beautifully well woven. Actually, if you compaRe TRP to Siddhart's previous outing : S|N, the latter has a much more 'grabbing' story BUT the former, handsdown, wins the overall battle! The way the movie has shaped up and the recation of the people only proves that the you just need a story that is worth telling, a story that can touch the hearts of millions to make a movie work. Also, I want to add that it was good to see such a sweet and cute story now, where the industry is going through a major transition in terms of creativity. The movie proudly rests on solid grounds, be it plot, direction, action, acting, music,... Director Siddharth Raj Anand surely deserves full marks for his work. After a 'hohum' debut with S|N, the man comes and consolidates his status as a director. He's here to stay. He has handled some scenes, especially in the second half, with utmost maturity! [color=red][b]SPOILER ALERT:[/b][/color] The beginning of the first half is pure fun. But the film gets better and better from the accident onwards. The second half was just excellent. The scenes dealing with the difficulties of the family are simply touching and deeply move you. Honestly, I was about to cry at several occasions!! Oh, and those scenes Taran mentionned were some of the bests:[i] ''Saif is reduced to a cabbie, Rani plays piano at birthday parties and hotels to run the kitchen fires and foot the bills, the children skip their meals to save for the school fees. The son, in fact, picks up leftovers from the waste to satiate his hunger''[/i] You got to watch the film to know how hair-raising those scenes were. Also, better that I talk about the climax here itself.. It was OUSTANDING! Despite knowing who was going to win (Yes, it was predictable), everyone in the hall had their eyes glued to the screen! It has to be one of the best climax of late! The part when RV does the same thing to that fool is sure to make the audience go mad!! I felt like jumping and shouting!! :lol: [color=red][b]END OF SPOILER[/b][/color] There have been loads of complaints against the music of the film but personally, I dont believe all that hoo-haa is necessary! Come on, its a typically YRF album! Initially, I wasnt fond of it but gradually, I became of its biggest fan!! [color=purple][b]Tara Rum Pum Tara Rum Pum:[/b][/color] [color=purple]fun, Fun, FUn, FUN, FUUUUNNN and TOTAL FUN!! The audio isnt all that great but when you watch the song onscreen, you realise how it rocks! This has to be THE BEST CHOREOGRAPHED SONG OF THE YEAR SO FAR! I LOVED IT!! Definitely one of the attributes of the film! The bears were choo cheeewwt! I so wanted give 'em a huge huge huge hug! :( The dancing steps were greaat!! Overall, I ADORED THAat song![/color] [color=red][b]Hey Shona:[/b] Such a romantic song!!! Rani looked gooorgeeooouuuss! and damnit, she makes a perfect couple with Saifouu! Again, loved it!![/color] [color=orange][b]Nach Le Ve:[/b] Nach le vee nach le va nach le ve....Tubhi nachle vee!! It came at the perfect time... Yeah, it was silly, I mean Rani and Saif playing in the water, etc.....but it was an adorable moment!![/color] [color=blue][b]Ta Ra Ra Ra Rum...Tara Rum Pum:[/b] Maybe my favourite song of the album! It was soo sad though :( [/color] [color=gray][b]Ab to Forever:[/b] Choreography was BRILLANT!! In fact, oustanding!! Rani looked SUPER DUPER HOT!! Its Rocking! :P[/color] [color=green][b]Sayyaan Ve:[/b] Aah! A masterpieve track, isnt it? Great picturisation![/color] Moving to the performances, the movie belongs to.....The WHOLE Family, of course! [b]Javed[/b] was hilarious with his accent! :lol: but he didnt only have a comic role. He handled the serious/drama parts with panache! Billy/that fool/others/ were good too! [b]Rani's friend, OR i better say Jiah from Shararat[/b] was perfect for that role! I LOVE this girl! She's soo pretty and looks soo sweet and innocent!!! Dying to see more of her!! [b]Master Ali/ Junior Rehan/Champ:[/b] A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! haha...It was funny when he didnt have his own opinions and kept changing sides! :lol: his chemistry with his sister was just amazing! They were like real life bro-sis! Esp in the school, during lunch time.... [b]Lil Angelina...Par pyyar usse Princess bulatein hain:[/b] AMAZING! it was indeed amazing to see her delivering such a power packed performance! her expressions were bang on and her crying is HAILA! :o :o :-( :-( Love this girl! :wub: :wub: I can proudly say that she is BEST BEST BEST Princess in the world! :huggy: I hope that she comes in other moviieess too! [b]Rani/Shona/Radhika something Rao Bannerjee :lol: / the best best best momma in the world:[/b] She proves why she's the No 1 actress! Despite having a simple role, not demanding historics or anything, Rani delivers a performance which will be remembered for a long time! aT the end of the day, U truly say that she is the best momma ! Her relationship with the kids was :thud: Also, watch out for her during her outburst!! [b]Saif/RV/ Mr Best:[/b] is fabulous! After Eklavya, he is bcak, IN FORM!! Extremely likeable!! I so like this actor! He's so natural! He was deffo the BEST FATHER....THE BEST HUSBAND....AND THE BEST....RACER! Take a bow Mr Chote Nawab! Ur my SECOND favourite actor! :eek: :clap: :clap: [b]The cars:[/b] FANTABULOUS!! forget the bikes of dhoom guyss!! :lol: Here comes the KINGS!!!! They were ROCKKKIIINNG!! Ohh and the races were awe-inspiring! I was spell-bounded!! So much well executedd!! Male audiences are gonna LOVE this!! :dance: Certes, the film does have minusses, like it moves at a sluggish pace! :banghead: :banghead: But those minor blemishes can definitely be ingored! Overall, Tara Rum Pum comes across as being an extremely enjoyable movie! One thing I can guarantee you is a smile on your face at the end!! go watch itt!! BO wise, it'll do terrific business in overseas and I guess good business in multiplexes!! [color=blue][b]My Rating: 8.75-9 /10[/b][/color] (Undecided) *Sorry for the mistakes and all.... I'm to tired to read what I wrote! :P*
