Yash Raj Films' latest presentation 'Tara Rum Pum' is the story of a happy family and how the family overcomes the hurdles put in its way by a fateful incident.
The film, directed by Siddharth Anand , brings back the successful jodi of Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee back on the big screen. Child artistes Angelina Idnani and Ali Haji play the couple's children in the movie.
Saif Ali Khan as Rajveer Singh aka RV
Ever since his childhood Rajveer has been passionate about race cars. After the death of his parents, Rajveer dropped out of college and started working in the pit-crew of a racing team. On a fortunate day, Rajeev's life changes forever after he meets Harry (Javed Jafferi) who would become Rajeev's future manager. On the same day, Rajeev also meets the woman of his dreams, Radhika (Rani Mukherjee).
Rani Mukherjee as Radhika
Radhika likes to plan everything meticulously in her life. She is the doted daughter of the owner of one of the biggest software companies in the world. Radhika is a music student. One single day turned Radhika's properly thought out life topsy turvy when she meets Rajveer during a cab ride. From then on, Radhika's life was never the same.
Rajveer turns RV
Rajveer's talent is discovered by Harry and he joins 'Speeding Saddles', a failing race team. After his very first win in the race, Rajeev falls in love with Radhika. A music student and a racer don't somehow seem like the best of matches, but the opposites do attract in this case.
There is something about Rajveer that attracts Radhika. May be it's his flamboyance or his madness and energy. Barely two days after meeting him, Radhika found herself sitting in the stands of the New York Speedway, and cheering RV to win the race.
Love between RV and Radhika blossoms and culminates into marriage. Over the years, the couple is blessed with two kids Princess and Champ.
The girl's name is Priya but her parents lovingly call her 'Princess'. She loves her Dad, Mama, her younger brother Champ and Bruno (their dog).
Ranveer is the younger one of the siblings. Everyone fondly calls him 'Champ' because he was born on a day when his papa won a big race. Champ has two passions: cars and burgers.
The happy life of this loving family is thrown off track after RV meets a serious accident on the race track. RV is hospitalized for a few months. When he tries to make a comeback after recuperating, he realizes that he has lost his edge on the racing track.
One failure follows another. And soon the number one race driver in the USA becomes a failed phenomenon. To make matters worse, RV is forced to auction his house and move with his family to a run-down Bronx-style neighborhood.
RV and Radhika decide not to tell their children the truth and construct a skillful masquerade of a reality show where they have to live a poor life in order to win a mythical grand prize.
The family struggles to survive a life that they are not used to, using a mixture of fantasy and cheerfulness to pull through in the face of adversity.
Then, in a sudden twist of fate, RV gets one last chance to prove his mettle on the race-track. It is a chance for RV to reclaim everything that was taken away from him. Will he be able to fight his demons and emerge victorious? Will the family find real happiness again?
'Tara Rum Pum' promises to be an entertaining roller-coaster ride of emotions. The film is the story of human spirit and how it ultimately prevails.
The film's music is composed by Vishal-Shekhar duo and lyrics are written by Javed Akhtar. The background music is by Salim and Suleiman Merchant.
The film's costumes are done by Mamta Anand and Surily Goel. Surily chose many chic western outfits for Rani's character in the film. Many times, when the film was being shot in New York, Surily and Rani would go out shopping together. They would together select Rani's dresses, tops, skirts, boots and handbags.
'Tara Rum Pum' is a Yashraj Films presentation. The movie is slated to hit the theatres on April 27. 2007.
