Plot

[edit]

The movie is in clips of the past and present. Akshay Malvade, who is an artist and a character designer, is currently departing on a flight. He is boarding from London. Suddenly he sees Sanjana Singhania, who is sitting just opposite Akshay and next to businessman number 23. They both see each other. Akshay and Sanjana remember a series of flashbacks. Akshay was a struggling artist who was in Cape Town. He sees Sanjana first time at that point. Then, while Sanjana tries to take out her car, she accidentally bumps Akshay's car and leaves a note on it. Akshay and his friend Vicky go to her house, and while coming back, they have a lot of fun. The next day, Akshay and Sanjana go to a party and kiss. They discover their love. Sanjana breaks up with her fiancé and confesses her feelings to Akshay. Akshay and Sanjana settle down. As Akshay is an artist and not employed, his business is not improving. He also has an ego fight with a distributor. As Akshay doesn't have any money, he gets frustrated and takes it out on Sanjana. Sanjana has been working for quite a while. After some time, Akshay gets a job in Sydney. As Sanjana cannot leave her job and Akshay is interested in the offer, they have a fight and break up. Back in the present, when they remember these memories, the situation is worst in Mumbai. The heavy rains have flooded the city (indicating the Maharashtra floods of 2005). Many are trying to survive. While their adventure for survival continues, Vicky is electrocuted as he falls in water with a cable carrying an electric current. After spending time together, they realise that their breakup 6 years ago was just a break for them, as their destiny is to be united.

In the credits, Sanjana and Akshay are now together, with Sanjana being pregnant. They have a son, and the movie ends with a happy ending.

Critical reception

[edit]

Tum Mile opened to mixed to positive reviews, with most major critics agreeing it to be a passable movie. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it a rating of 3/5 and said, "Tum Mile caters to the youth mainly. 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".[7] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Go, get a taste of substantial Bollywood with Tum Mile: a story well told".[8] A critic from Hindustan Times wrote that "You realise, while the romance and its conflicts are short-lived, this is not a disaster film at all. I mean this as much for its genre as hopefully its fate among the public".[9] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Ultimately, though, Tum Mile's true strength lies in the combined appeal and compelling performances of Emraan and Soha. Awe-inspiring it is not but engaging? By all means".[10] A critic from Mid-Day wrote that "More miserable than doomsday, TM fails to capture the pathos of the ordinary Mumbaikar or even weave an original love story that could rise above clichés".[11] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "The problem in Tum Mile is that the screenplay is too well plotted, almost like a set-up, while the lead pair lack any magic. The dialogues are very wordy and the entire tone of the film is a bit plodding.[12] A critic from The Economic Times wrote that "Tum Mile might be dilute on the deluge but concentrates on having its heart in the right place. Watch it as a disaster flick and you will find it disastrous. Watch it as a love story and you will love it".[13]

Box office

[edit]

According to Box Office India, Tum Mile was a flop, grossing only ₹13.46 crores on a budget of ₹22 crore, just short of its budget.[2]
