Great movie with superb acting according to me.One of Emraan Hashmis and Soha Ali Khans best performance so far. I really liked the realistic feeling I got watching this film.Reading most peoples reviews om IMDb made me believe that this movie will not be good at all. Ghosh I was proved wrong after seeing the film....a beautiful love story told in a great and different way. I cant believe people gave the movie 4.4...it deserves 8/10. I gave it 10/10 to improve its ratings =)I really cant believe how people prefer movies like Singh is king in front of decent movies like this.Don't miss it...its worth watching..Enjoy
... View MoreEmraan Hashmi is back with his trademark style to lure girls and pitch in their lives as easily as breathing. His movies are the best school for "How to win a women's heart" and Tum Mile also adds a little weight in this statement. Before talking about the storyline, firstly I want to give all the hail to wonderful wonderful music. Its very melodious and all pleasure to listen, and for sure Romanticism filled in aroma of the movie is because of that aesthetic music. Thanks Preetam for this wonderful music. Now come back to movie, it is all about an artist who is passionate and talented but a low on his pockets. The guy has big dreams to buy an art gallery for his father. Accidentally he meets a beautiful girl and falls for her in very first sight. With his typical fundas and idiotic and sometimes irritating attitude, Hashmi make the girl crazy about him. The relationship blossoms but as girl is very successful editor and guy is still struggling for his punch start, they create differences and broke up finally. Life takes a U turn when they meet in a flight to Mumbai after 6 years and flowers of love that actually never died in their hearts again spread the fragrance in air. They land in Mumbai where rain is washing off the city completely. Here they meet again and in the shadow of that flood disaster situation the bond of love again shape up for them and brings them closer than ever.Movie is a little slow when both have spats near to interval time. Anyway love birds will love the movie for sure and music of the movie make couples hold their hands tighter. On an average a good flick from Bhatt camp.
... View MoreVishesh Films, Kunal Deshmukh & Emraan Hashmi trio is back with another romantic movie written around a plot based on real life. After his successful directorial debut in "Jannat", this time Kunal tries his hands on a (so called) disaster movie depicting the unforgettable trauma faced by Mumbai on 26th July, 2005. The tough days which are still fresh in the mind of every Mumbaikar, saw Mumbai in a very unimaginable state with a flood like situation leading to huge physical and monetary losses everywhere in the city.So obviously there were enormous expectations from the movie, coming from a director, who already had a well made realistic movie to his credit. Moreover, "Tum Mile" was also being projected as the first major attempt in the genre of "Disaster Movies" in Hindi Film Industry though its promotional campaign, TV Promos and Posters. But after watching it, you actually feel like cheated by its promoters because the film which was heavily advertised with the scenes depicting the Mumbai Floods, actually has only a few minutes talking about the disaster and too not in a very convincing way.It starts nicely with a well written in-flight sequence, where both Emraan & Soha get to meet each other after many years and remember the good times spent together in flashbacks. The movie moves ahead following the same pattern of "Jannat" wherein first the romance is established between the lead couple and then the real plot is revealed after a few romantic numbers. But in "Tim Mile", Kunal stresses too much on the romance part and pays very less attention on the disaster element which actually should have been given the center stage. Till intermission the narration keeps moving into the past and present lives of the couple and along with that also tries to establish the base for the Flood sequences. But the excessive emphasis on the romance part fails to create the required curiosity level, which is a must for a disaster movie. The strong build-up leading towards the watery climax is simply missing.Post interval, the viewer becomes desperate of watching the flood stuff and really wants to see how it is done in a Hindi movie, but he still has to wait till the end. The main over publicized rain scenes actually come only towards the climax and those too finish off too soon without making an impact with no worth seeing graphical creations as expected. In addition to this there is no account of any mass human suffering, pain or loss faced by the people due to that unexpected natural calamity. Though the flood sequences has been shot competitively in a street set which must have been a tough task for the whole team, but in the end it is too plain to make you feel for it.Otherwise, the movie has a good romantic story going on with a few good scenes and dialogues coming at regular intervals. Both Emraan & Soha have given good performances as required by an intense love story. They emote and relate well on screen. But Emraan now has to move on to some completely different roles in his career. He looks like doing the different & improvised versions of his own lover boy characters from his previous movies. Soha on the other hand gives a mature performance as a true lover caught between the choice of her career and love. Mantra, as Emraan's friend makes a good impact throughout and Sachin Khedekar is hardly there for only one scene.Hence, it all comes down to the wrong promotion of the movie, where it doesn't deliver what it promised. Also, the writing falters at many places which is clearly visible to the least interested viewer too. For instance, a person coming to check your Electronic Meter abroad in a pure Indian style, people moving out of a drowning bus leaving a small child alone, the child's mother is also shown out of the bus crying for help. The script also majorly fails to use the flood sequences resulting into the re-union of the lovers. After one hour, anyone can guess that the story will now end in the floods where Emraan would save Soha and they will both fall in love again. And that's where Kunal fails to make an impact this time. There is no surprise climax in "Tum Mile" which was incidentally one of the major attractions of his "Jannat".Musically, the soundtrack again has some good songs from the ever consistent Pritam. Though not as compelling and rich in lyrics, as his other recent hits, but still they sound good while watching the movie. However as usual, not all songs were needed in the script, which also needed crispier editing. Cinematography, Graphics and Art direction is fine, but nothing path breaking. In fact it is nowhere close to the other epic disaster movie "2012" which also releases this Friday. So, if you want to see a real disaster movie with breathtaking sequences and magical graphics on the screen then the choice should be clear after reading this.Rating : 2 / 5 (Blame it on the misguiding promotional campaign)
... View MoreTum Mile is a thoughtful love story which I found very engaging, and aided by emotionally intense performances from the cute pair Emraan Hashmi & Soha Ali Khan. Even the songs were quite romantic & foot tapping.Talking more about the performances, Emraan was really cool. So also was Mantra, the actor who played Emraan's close buddy. It's unfortunate to not see his name in the cast details of this movie. Soha Ali Khan has also acted with caliber. However, she looked slightly aged in the closeup shots.The scenes of the monsoon floods in Mumbai as the backdrop of this love story was handled very well till footage of actual floods in Mumbai(the 2005 floods?) were showcased as the real thing. It looked very obvious that the shots were lifted from old television news of the actual floods in Mumbai. That took some charm out of this movie.Also, the end was unsatisfactory. It looked like a patch-up work because till then, I felt the story moved like a poem.Verdict - It could have been a soulful romantic drama but good show anyway. A 8/10 in my opinion.
