Ta Ra Rum Pum- ना सुर ना टाल!!

Ta Ra Rum Pum

There is no Sur Taal but it has some musical nodes attached to it. When Rani Mukherjee and Saif's acting skills, vishal-shekar's 'happy-go-lucky' music and Hollywood iishtyle direction by young 'salaam namaste' acclaimed director siddharth anand come together under larger than life yash raj banner you expect nothing but the best. Right? Huh?
Well after Neil n Nikki your expectations are minimized as you understand that we easily get 'inspired' rather than re-awakening our creative instincts.
Ta ra rum pum originally titled as ‘Don’t Worry be happy’ is a ‘feel-good’ movie. RV (Saif) is an aspiring Car racer working as a mechanic-tier changer -serendipitously meets Harry (Javed Jaffery) who assists him to pursue his dream and falls head over heals in love with Radhika (Rani Mukherjee). “Pyaarse dono ek dusre ko shona bultate hai” so sweet! Later they meet, slowly and gradually love blossoms and they marry in a ‘weirdo-Bollywood-style’ car with the poor priest chanting mantras while the wild racer drives the car at an astounding speed! Radhika’s father is against this shaadi as he is keen on having an ‘intellectual daamaad’ rather than a ‘successful, rich but illiterate’ one! Surprisingly he neither bothers to attend the wedding nor tries to contact his beloved daughter-maybe he busy preoccupied handling his‘4th largest company in Manhattan! RV as he is fondly called by his near and dear ones wins up teem no of races and becomes the No 1 racer in USA. Soon in a flash of a second you see a fairy-tale beautifully woven where RV showers radhika with all the worlds’ riches and happiness and in the next few humdrum of ‘gaana –shaana’ they become the proud parents of Princess (Angelina) and champ (Ali)!
“Ab ek pyaare se kutte ki hi kami thi” and wham! Brown-furry beauty walks in-Bruno doggy that completes the ‘perfect family picture’!
In the first few minutes rani proves that “I-m-so-hot-n-sexy” image doesn’t suit her , saif looks cool as ice , javed adds “tadka to the dal”, Angela and Ali look so much like saif and Rani – for the next 3 hours you actually start believing that its oh-so real!
Though not so thrilling as the ‘dhoom vroom bikes’ car racing –the climax scene will thrill you and is the real action of Ta ra rum pum.
Some memorable moments which glue the viewers to their seats are when RV meets with a predictable car accident and the family comes on sadak. Soon everyone tries to support and help each other in the time of family crisis and finally the ‘scarred and scared’ saif emerges from the traumatic experience-wins the race and they all live happily ever after-A true Bollywood fairy –tale!
The music synchronizes with the movie-plot and fits in well. Title track by shreya ghoshal; tar a rum pum is melodious and inspiring one. For all those party owls ‘Ab tou forever’ by Kay kay, shreya ghoshal and vishal dadlani is simply rocking! Kiddies out there! “Siddharth uncle” has specially woven an animated tar a rum pum song for you so go and take pleasure in the movie with you friends, children, spouse and lover which will surely add a tune to your life!
