This film “Tara rum pum” is my hatest film. It is so bad. The whole story plot has been cheated from the English hit film “Taladega night:Ricky bobby is the actor.
But that hindi one is so flop and bad.
Taladega nights is a very good film.
Thanks.

brangan, you certainly are a rare breed… the reviewer who accords credit for even the slightest of pluses in a cake so half baked the minuses stick between your teeth. being as i am in the thick of the film ‘manufacturing’ industry it seems to me the ‘craft’ (if it can even be called that anymore) is worming it’s way towards being firmly entrenched in the economics of supply and demand. ta ra rum pum is a prime example of a film that tosses in (self consciously and gratuitiously) every imaginable ingredient to elicit the emotion required of it by way of a money-spinning brief. it got cooked perhaps only once the ingredients were collected in the dish. and this is what, to my mind, separates most of the filmmakers of today from those of all the decades till the seventies (including yash chopra himself). they made a film because they had something to say. the new lot makes films because films make them money without them having to sit through corner office teleconferences discussing sales graphs. unfortunate.

I think movie borrowed a lot from ‘Taladega Nights’ too. It’s a comedy with Will Ferell as the car driver.

Thank you NeeliAankhen. I was referring more to the white bridal dress, the bouquet etc., which are “Symbols” of a non-Indian wedding. But thanks for the clarification

Your review as always a pleasure to read, both before and after.

A tiny factoidal correction from a US native (if NYC counts): the wedding in the moving car was definitely not Hindu, so you’re right of course about it not being Indian, but it wasn’t Christian either I don’t think – I think it was a Justice of the Peace wedding, i.e. a civil ceremony — you’re married by him with “the power invested in me by the State of New York,” though he left off saying the NY part of it.

In reality, I think they can actually say anything they like in the ceremony (you are married by signing the paper basically),so in movies they say some of the “do you take this man” stuff from church weddings.
