Review - Ta Ra Rum Pum » without giving the movie away…...
Children finally have something worthwhile to occupy themselves with in the summer vacations - well, at least for three hours. Parents won't have a bad time either, especially if they don't mind the formula combination of action and songs. Nothing ou...

posted 3 years, 4 months agoI chanced upon your blog through the community. And now, am I glad or what. Thanks for the lovely review!!
posted 3 years, 4 months agoThanks for pointing that out, indya! The link is fixed now.
Thank you pragni! Do stop by again.
posted 3 years, 4 months ago[...] Meetu : “Thinking about the movie two hours after having left the theater, the first thing that comes to mind is the car races. They are timed well and executed even better. ” [...]
posted 3 years, 4 months agowell i don't think the movie was named so after coming up with the song. as far as i know (from film news, on net, newspapers..) the film was first named tara rum pum pum, and one `pum' was removed later. that looked more like being in line with the recent trend of naming the movie with an old hit song title.. (and then making a song with same line but make it sound somewhat different from the original song).. like kabhi khushie kabhi gham, bas itna saa khwaab hai, kabhi alwida naa kehnaa..
posted 3 years, 4 months agoi love all of yash raj films, it akways touches my heart,
posted 3 years, 4 months agohe always knows how to entertain people in a special way
Hi sudeep, well, my comment about the title was a dig at how unimaginative the title is :-). Thanks for bringing up the other titles. My view about these titles is pretty much the same too.
esha, yeah they entertain to an extent. More often than not, I have a problem with how they underestimate the audience's intellect. Thanks for stopping by.
posted 3 years, 4 months agoTypical Yash Chopra movie...entertaining & family feel good movie is what I'd like to call this one....with designer homes & clothes...perfect family...thodi khushi thoda gam ka combo...
Javed Jaffery was more fun in Salaam Namaste....yaha Gujju accent thoda zyada ho gaya.
Nice review Meetu as always :)
posted 3 years, 4 months agoNice to see you again, Mehak. Thanks! I guess we disagree about Javed Jaffrey. I liked him better here because he played a normal person and not a caricature.
posted 3 years, 4 months agoI am yet to see this movie. So I can't comment on your review. But the lyrics of SHAKALAKA F****
posted 3 years, 4 months agof*** (as said by Anurag Kashyap) were penned by Sameer, not Javed Akhtar.
Thank you Charles Foster Kane aka Antonio Ricci, for pointing out the blunder!! A thousand apologies, readers! I was thinking "Namastey London" and typed "Shaka Laka Boom Boom" (I hope equally awful lyrics didn't have anything to do with it). Mistake rectified.

posted 3 years, 4 months agothis is a link to a well done review by an Indiatimes reviewer..add it to othr reviews done by reviewers of ta ra rum pum pls..
thanks
Done Naina. Thanks!
posted 3 years, 4 months agoHey meetu,
posted 3 years, 4 months agotht ws really fast..gr8! But the link i had sent is frm Indiatimes and not Inidatimes.
pls rectify the mistake.
Also loved the site... just stumbled upon it and loved the way you guys not only give
your reviews but also give all the links to other reviewers.
As a cinema goer it becomes much easier to decide whether to go for a film or not after reading
those reviews done by various critics all under one roof like tht of ur site.
Will regularly skimp through the site frm now on...
Keep up the good work..
cheers

Hey Naina, no clue what's wrong with me! Thanks again, typo rectified. And I am glad you like the 'To Each His Own' section.
posted 3 years, 4 months agoSaw the movie with my family . My 5 year old daughter enjoyed it, a lot more than us.
Overall its a healthy entertainer. I will say first movie this year which is worth watching.
Sorry "Bheja fry" was also not very bad.
But no movie still compares to the big ones from 2006.
posted 3 years, 4 months agoL K Sinai, my little kids enjoyed it thoroughly too. Mine were glued to their seats for the entire 2 hours 45 minutes (and the interval too, lest the movie got over while they visited the restrooms :-)). For the first time they did not need pop corn/aerated drink to keep them in the theater!
As you know, I didn't think too highly of the movie, but the kids' reactions are good enough to make us adults watch it.

Hey guys
posted 3 years, 1 month agoThis is ramit malhotra. I really really appreciate this movie because i was just dead because of life's ups-downs but after seeing this movie i learn how to wakeup for a new life and how to face the problems in your life. I like saif ali khan, Rani, Princess and Champ very much and they really give their best performance in this movie.
My best song in this movie is : Saiyaan ve , Rahi ka to kam hai chalta hi ja ve saiyaan ve..............
I personally suggest to all the viewers to see this movie please.
LOVE YOU TA RA RUM PUM
i really loved the movie. i guess i love it more than any other movie in which saif and rani have acted toghether
posted 3 years agoI just hope none of my British colleagues have watched this movie. Just where exactly is Bollywood headed.
Shame on Saif and Rani to have accepted such a script. That Yashraj Films is producing such silly moviews is no more a surprise.
