Set against the backdrop of the Mumbai floods on July 26th 2005, Tum Mile is a love story directed by Kunal Deshmukh of Jannat fame. The movie stars Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan in lead roles and like most Vishesh produced films, Tum Mile has blockbuster music by Pritam. Touted as Hashmi’s most expensive film to date, the expectations are high from the Bhatt – Emraan combo. Do they deliver?
26th July 2005 – the day when the city of Mumbai came to a standstill and close to 1000 people died in the heaviest rainfall ever recorded in the city for a 24 hour period. But amidst the tragedy, it reunited 2 ex-lovers. The movie is about Akshay (Emraan Hashmi) and Sanjana (Soha Ali Khan), who are opposites in every possible way. While Akshay is a struggler from a middle class family, Sanjana is passionate about her work and is the daughter of a filthy rich industrialist. The two, who once shared a lovely relationship together, meet up on a flight back to Mumbai on the fateful night. But what begins as a routine flight back turns into one of the most eventful and unforgettable days of their lives.
Tum Mile Review
Why Tum Mile is a highly recommended watch this weekend
- Its been long since we witnessed a well-executed love story and Kunal Deskmukh with Tum Mile excels as a story teller. The romance is real, effective and extremely engrossing.
- The downpour, the whole setting of the floods and the rains that lashed Mumbai on 26/7 effectively casts a spell on the viewer. The fear, the ruthlessness of nature is very well captured.
- The chemistry between Emraan and Soha adds immense value to the film. While the romantic sequences in Cape Town, have that seen-many-times-before feeling, its their sparkling chemistry that works.
- Emraan Hashmi puts across yet another fabulous performance. Here is an actor who deserves much more, yet sadly under-rated. In his very own words he seems “destined not to do movies outside the Bhatt camp”.
- Soha Ali Khan excels in every scene and delivers a very mature performance.
- Pritam’s music blends beautifully into Tum Mile, very situational and melodious. The title track and Dil Ibadat stand out.
- Dialogues are straight out of any couples lives. Nothing filmy, nothing unreal and to the point.
- Cinematography is fantastic. Cape Town, South Africa has been beautifully captured and so are the flood scenes.
Negatives, not much really
- More of struck-in-the-rain sequences would have been better. The director instead opts for far too many flashbacks both in the first and second half.
- Tragic scenes involving side actors are at times exaggerated. Unnecessary to be frank.
Overall, Tum Mile works mainly due to Kunal Deshmukh’s direction, good special effects, fantastic music and great performances by both Emraan and Soha.

After jannat, it was clear cut indication that imran knows acting n cn do sensible films as well. Tum mile supports the prophecies n indications made after jannat.
Its realy worth a watch as it is governed by stupendous performances by imran n soha. The fury of the disaster has been well filmed n at times touches ur heart.
Soha nt only looks cute but delivers the best.
If u think that this movie with imran as serial kisser, kissing soha is like his previous flicks barring jannat, u r wrong. Just go 4 it , no chances that u wil b dissapointed. Moreover they r some eternal love moments which look just mindblowingly real.
Music is simply Superb. Pritam rocks as usual.
If u r nt watching tum mile rather going 4 armageddon sort of movies lyk 2012, u r missing imran’s best work til date. Its no exaggeration. Watch out urself.
Thanx to indicine team 4 a flawless review. Yo indicine !

Glad about the review.
I bought the soundtrack (unusual for me as I tend to download individual songs) as thre was so much I liked among it. It hasnt wearied with many listenings.
I like the look of it and sound of the plot too.
Have decided I’ll buy it (legally) on DVD
November 14th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
I will watch it in cinema for 2 reasons:
1) Imran Hashimi is a very good actor.. I didn’t like him in his debute movie and some other movies followed this one.. as he was playing as a lover boy only, but I liked him after watching Jannat.. so here we go.. I will see it for him.
2) for the songs.. the title song Tum Mile is very nice and the melody reminds me of Nazia Hasan.. the pakistani singer in 70’s or 80’s.. can’t remember exactly, and Tuhi Haqeekat is nice too.
but.. I wished if the actress wasn’t Soha.. I don’t like her.. honestly.. I can’t consider her as a heroine in the leading role.. she’s talented.. I saw her acting in Rang de Basanti but she lacks many things in her look.. actually she needs a plastic sugery for her face.. to look better on screen and to be acceptable by the audience.
November 14th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Awsum movie.thanx indicine..best site ..bollybusiness is pathetic..emran is now no8..1st srk 2 aamir 3 akshay 4 hr 5 bhai 6 saif 7 ranbir 8emran 9 shahid 10 abhay deol
November 15th, 2009 at 12:07 am
@fathiya mam
mam i dont agree wid u. Lyk u said, soha doesnt look gud n needs to have a plastic surgery. The fact is that She is gorgeous n accepted by the audience as well.
November 15th, 2009 at 12:34 am
Saurabh: sorry if I hurt yr feelings.. but that’s the way I see her.. she’s not cute, or loveable like her brother Saif or her mother Sharmila Tagour.. her mom was my favourite actress in the past.
November 15th, 2009 at 12:50 am
@fathia.agree wid u.me nd my frds also thinks the same..her nose is such a let down .
November 15th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
it is very obvious that the movie is inspired by the day after tomorrow tidal wave sequence .. even the plane going into the clouds is copied from the movie ..any bit of copying is not acceptable by us .. the movie is a big drag ignore this movie wholeheartedly
November 15th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
also forgot to add soha ali is not attractive at all she has very tight facial expressions and the body languge is very raw.. imraan sleepwalks through the entire movie and flashbacks are not consistent… not goos trust me.. a waste of time and money ..please do not visit the theatres.. hear the songsa on your ipod ar on fm radio
November 15th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
this is the second worst movie of the year right beside ranbirs prem kahani only this is worse ..slow and pathetic needless meandering ..jannat was a fluke this one is real ..bogus
November 16th, 2009 at 2:57 am
Amit Singhania: it’s not only her nose.. well if I was a seargon and wanted to give her a beautiful face.. I’d change her face shape, specially her chin, it’s really in a bad shape as if she had a car accident or got injured in some accidents!! the lips are so tiny and the nose is big.. when u see Soha’s shadow from one side, u don’t feel it’s a female face.. it’s like the face of the evil woman in Snow white cartoon! she really needs to go thru some plastic surgery.. actually she should’ve worked on her beauty.. on her face before she joined bollywood.. to look better on the screen.. and not to show off her body on some men’s magazines!!
November 16th, 2009 at 7:50 am
why they copied from THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW remains a mystery!!! the indicine team can put some light on this matter perhaps…yes soha ali looks like a drag ..neither he nor she… noone can fall in love with such unattractive woman forget the onscreen characters ..real life ones too will run away from her
November 16th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Tum Mile grossed an approx 8 crore nett over its first weekend. The approx breakdown was 2.50 crore on Friday, 2 crore on Saturday and 3.50 crore on Sunday.
The film after a fairly good start on Friday could not really capitalise on Saturday and Sunday as both days had figures lower than they should have been.
Overall the first week will probably see collections in the 11-12 crore region and could be an average runner if it can hang around at the theatres after its first week.
November 16th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Movie is gud bt i don’t think it will not survive next week because of its tough competition with Karan johar’s KURBAAN. Don’t u agree?
November 16th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
OOPS
….I dont think it will survive …
November 16th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
fir hit stauts to tum mile it should reach till 20 cr , so 8 cr done rest 4 days add 4 cr coz sunday closed on 3.5 cr so 1st week 12 cr.
2nd weekend add 3 cr more and rest for days 3 cr so 2nd week 17 cr
rest of life 3 cr
so it can reach till 20 cr i m hopeful coz movie has good comments and good report.
November 16th, 2009 at 10:34 pm

Tum Mile – a love story first
November 24th, 2009 at 7:56 am
how i wish people had read my opinion on this movie and stayed away ..that way they would have saved lot of money
November 25th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Wow….the movie review of this film’s sounds very interesting. So M gonna watch this movie.Hey Megha, watch out? it’s not the way u should write about Soha. Her beauty is a god gifted and she is the most beautiful upcoming actor in this bollywood.
Soha this is for u…..” In life, if u’r doing the right thing, walk with ur head held high, though there’ll be a lot of Dogs barking, let them bark as they are meant to….”..
November 25th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
lovely my ………..badluck ………………cz indian viewers just want entertainment….they dont want to understand story
November 29th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
The movie is an absolute drag. Hashmi is a try-hard. Its obvious that he got into the movie by sucking his uncles d!ck. why do they even bother making a movie when the story line is blatantly copied, and the acting cast is 3rd grade.
this movie is a total waste of time and money
December 23rd, 2009 at 12:51 am
I saw the movie last night on a dvd.. Imran Hashimi was sooo good in this movie.. his performance was excellent specially in some scenes.. where he argues and yells at Soha in her house.
Soha’s performance was also good.. but still.. she lacks many things to be considered as a heroine for any movie.. not only her face.. but also her body language and she talks very fast!!
the beauty is the beauty of the soul.. which u feel it when u see any one’s face.. for example.. Kon Kona Sin Sharma.. she’s not beautiful.. but she’s charming.. her soul.. the way she talks.. the way she performs.. her body language.. all that is enough to make her a successful actress.. she’s tender.. soft.. but Soha lacks everything.. the beauty of the face as well as the beauty of the soul.. for me.. she’s not applicable.. she must be only in second category in films but not in any leading roles.. or if she’s struggling for this position.. then she must do roles which suits her character.. some action movies.. some horror or thriller movies.. but not to play as a romantic girl in love stories.
Indicine Team: there’s no chemistry at all between Emraan & Soha.. wrong pair
The story wasn’t bad.. and the best scene in the movie was in the bedroom.. when Emraan wants to do a painting for her.. during the song Dil Ibadat.. that was the best scene in this movie.. the movie was average.. just a passtime, nothing that special.. I loved Jannat more ( if u just compare the heroine of Jannat with Soha.. like black and white!!)
3 songs give this movie a great value: Tum Mile, Tuhi Haqeekat & Dil Ibadat.. if this movie didn’t hv these 3 songs it’d hv been a super flop movie not only a flop!
