Tum Mile movie review


In TUM MILE, a couple faces two storms. The storm within, when they come face to face after their breakup. The storm outside, when a natural calamity strikes Mumbai on 26th July, 2005 [unprecedented rainfall devastated Mumbai on this date].

After JANNAT, director Kunal Deshmukh [KD] chooses a love story yet again. It's about an estranged couple, but the wallpaper in TUM MILE is the Mumbai floods. Naturally then, the expectations from TUM MILE are colossal, given the fact that TUM MILE is the first film that attempts to chronicle the natural calamity on celluloid, with seriousness.

Had KD limited himself to narrating the ups and downs in a live-in relationship, TUM MILE may've struck a chord. But if you're attempting a disaster movie [its promotions send out strong signals], you'd be eager to know how KD recreates the horrors of 26th July on celluloid. Let's not forget, the catastrophe is still etched in our memory and has tremendous recall-value.
While KD succeeds in depicting the tiffs between the lovers, it's the disaster aspect that doesn't make much of an impact. That's because you strongly feel that the infamous Mumbai floods should've been given more prominence, instead of using it as a tool to take the story forward.

26th July, 2005 rang an ominous bell for most, but amidst all the chaos and the tragedy, it re-united two star-crossed ex-lovers.

Two people [Emraan Hashmi, Soha Ali Khan] meet after a hiatus of six years. What starts off as a seemingly innocuous encounter on the same flight back to Mumbai, ends up as a rollercoaster ride through some of the darkest hours of Mumbai, as they see the city get swamped with disaster and loss... and are forced to stick together in this time of crisis.

Radio has already recovered production costs before release!


Any ticket sales will make the film show a profit!

Radio, starring Himesh Reshammiya, was made at a budget of 6 crore. The film has already recovered the amount spent by selling the music, satellite and video rights. Now, whatever money the film makes in form of ticket sales, will mean a profit for the producers.

It’s all good

Producer Ravi Agarwal is happy with the situation because his lead actor Himesh’s last film Karzzzz produced by T-Series was a disaster at the box-office.

Learnt from mistakes

A source from the production company says, “Himesh has learnt from the mistakes he made during Karzzzz. His strategy and vision for Radio is simple.

A different audience

Reshammiya admits he had gone overboard with the number of prints he released for his last film, “I have applied very different sensibilities for Radio. It is aimed at a different target audience than my last two releases.
I am glad that we’ve already recovered our budget costs. Also the tracks from Radio have registered the highest online download numbers.”

Post-release, Himesh plans to go on a worldwide tour promoting Radio. He adds, “The tour will include all his chartbusters and the revenue from ticket sales and merchandise will definitely be phenomenal. This again is just an extension of the marketing strategy.”

London Dreams

Dear Friends london dreams ke promos toh bahut zabardast lage, or mujhe pata hai ap sabko bhi bahut zabardast lage honge, par friends jaise promos the waise kuch khas movie main dekhne ko nahi mila.. Toh padte hain ki Taran Adrash ji is baare main kya kehte hain.


In real life, if you feel your colleague is far more superior to you in intelligence, talent, charisma, efficiency, chances are you might feel the heat. Jealousy, generally, stems from there. In the process, the best of relations get strained. LONDON DREAMS, directed by Vipul Shah, talks of two musicians, thick pals actually, and how jealousy drives a wedge in their friendship.

Let's clear a few myths before discussing the positive and negative factors of this film. LONDON DREAMS is not BAIJU BAWRA. LONDON DREAMS is not ROCK ON!!, ABHIMAAN, YAARANA or SAAJAN either [a section of the industry wants us to believe that]. The truth is, LONDON DREAMS borrows from Milos Forman's brilliant film AMADEUS [1984], which was based on Salieri and Mozart's life. In fact, Suneel Darshan too had made a film based on AMADEUS called SHAKALAKA BOOM BOOM [2007; Bobby Deol, Upen Patel].

Write your own movie review of London Dreams
LONDON DREAMS is a complete departure from Vipul Shah's earlier outings, AANKHEN, WAQT, NAMASTEY LONDON and SINGH IS KINNG [produced by Vipul, directed by Anees Bazmee]. This film is about relationships and tends to get very real and intense, in the post-interval portions specifically. The scale of LONDON DREAMS is gigantic and the execution of concerts [it's about a band] sweeps you off your feet.
