Soha Ali Khan and Imraan Hashmi
Starring: Emraan Hashmi, Soha Ali Khan, Sachin Khedekar and RJ Mantra
Director: Kunal Deshmukh
Tum Mile is a story of two storms a couple has to face. A weather storm caused due to heavy rains and a storm in their personal relation, which has gone sour.
Director Kunal Deshmukh comes up with a story of an alienated couple, which is caught in a natural calamity. The biggest problem of the movie is that whereas it has been promoted as the first Bollywood film that showcases a relation between two people amidst a natural calamity, in real it focus only on relation and the calamity element is somewhat missing.
This is a story of two people (Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan), who meet after a gap of six years, when they return to Mumbai on the same flight. A dream reunion turns into a nightmare, when on reaching Mumbai they find the city is covered under water and people are suffering as a consequence. Alongside, the couple also has to suffer because despite deciding to part ways, they have to stay together only because of the floods.
The story of Tum Mile has been narrated in a nice manner and despite it going back and forth several times, you don’t get confused or lose interest in the film.
The love story has been handled well by the director. Thus, the relations between the two lead characters of the film and how they transform as the film moves along have been shown in a manner that they bind you with what’s going on the screen.
The music and the cinematography of the film are good.
Among the lead actors, Emraan Hashmi looks promising and Soha Ali looks quite natural in her character.
Unfortunately, where the film tends to lose its ground is that it is not a film that focuses on natural disaster or the Mumbai floods. The director fails to highlight what people of the city went through at that point of time. Had the director focused on the miseries of people during Mumbai floods, this could have been a more interesting film to watch. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
