Ta Ra Rum Pum(drama)*
Cast:** Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Javed Jaffrey
Direction: Siddharth Anand
The film is mindblowing.
Again Yashraj productions have delivered a great movie.
The film has everything audience needs to wow for.
Siddharth Anand is again with a hit after Salaam Namaste and the duo of hum Tum are looking
fantastic together.
Be it Saif’s live-in-the-present effervescence or Rani’s till-death-do-us-part devotion, Ta Ra Rum Pum tangos off to a high simply due to their chemistry.
This film about a bindaas racer, his beauty-with-brains wife and their cute little cherubs could end up as perfect holiday fare, despite the trivialisation and the cloying story-line. Though, plot-wise, the film has all the cliched ploys that traditional cinema uses.
Once the racer dad has an accident and develops race track phobia, the family undergoes all those thakela trials like joblessness, no food on the table, sacrifice and the final sickness, where death looms large unless the dollars pour in.
Yet, all this familiarity fails to breed contempt because there is Saif and there is Rani: two consummate actors who squeeze out the ordinariness from any role and make it extraordinary.
Of course, the film lacks the originality of Salaam Namastey, where director Siddharth Anand scored with the sheer novelty of the no-holds-barred relationship between Saif and Preity.
I must say, Javed Jaffrey is truly the most under-estimated actor in Hindi films. Yet .Rum Pum is the right get a fix for the Great Indian Family.
And I would like to recommend it to everyone.
So till then, for you all
*Ta ra ra ra.
Tara rum pum.
