Tum Mile

Go, get a taste of substantial Bollywood with Tum Mile: a story well told.

...Kunal Deshmukh comes up with another winner. Go for it, and enjoy the love story folded into a disaster flick combo.

At the box-office, the Vishesh Films - Emraan Hashmi combo has cultivated a strong fan-base over the years and coupled with good music, which is also very popular, the film should find itself in the comfortable zone.

Awe-inspiring it is not but engaging? By all means.

Watch it as a disaster flick and you will find it disastrous. Watch it as a love story and you will love it.

While the first film or the heartistic section is scripted, shot and performed marvellously, the second one, is for want of a better word, sorry. Er..soggy.

Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan have given superb performances and their crackling chemistry will help the flick be a winner at the box office.

Though the film does manage to tug at your heart the length is a big bother, a little snip here and a big cut there would have done wonders for this film.

Yes, I'm glad Emraan and Soha kiss and make up but frankly it didn't need a disaster to do it.

A love story set against a great downpour isn’t all that it could have been – but it isn’t nothing either.

...might have worked if it had stuck to the love story - about a mature relationship that sours when control and ego, dreams and ambition clash. A 26 July film it is not. If only it had not pretended to be.

Love, calamity, death all taken way too casually in a drab, still-life sort-of a way.

ostensibly Bollywood's first disaster movie is superbly silly.

That lack of tension tells on the film: the effective parts when the two are coming together and drawing apart get submerged by the way it wraps.

While the disaster angle is clearly a gimmick. And the lovers could very well have sorted out their differences on a station or an airport lounge...

promoted as India’s first disaster film based on the 26 July 2005 deluge but it has more romance than disaster which is disappointing.

Miserable than the doomsday...

...you may survive the floods, but Emraan and Soha's bak-bak will most certainly kill you!
