Movie Review: Ta Ra Rum Pum

ab bhi ho gham, zyada ya kam,
Muskuraayenge hum, gaayenge hum,
Ta Ra Rum Pum.. Ta Ra Rum Pum.. Ta Ra Rum Pum..

How many times do we come across Bollywood movies which we can proudly take our children to watch? When we don’t have to divert their attention many times because of some objectionable scenes? When children can learn some values of life from movies? Which don’t display lavishness of rich kids and portray families which are always happy and rich? With Tara Rum Pum released, you can watch such a movie after a long time. 

Tara Rum Pum is the story of a car racer (Saif), his wife (Rani) and their two children (Princess and Champ), who get to have a bad patch in their life. But they face being poor with great bonding, support, and a positive spirit. After much struggle, Saif gets his success back. And they all learn several lessons from that.

The role of RV looks natural for Saif. Rani is as usual sound and glowing. I specially liked the acting of the child actors here. Angelina Idnani is so superb in her role of Princess that you shall keep searching for her in the next movies you watch.
 

• Tara Rum Pum is a complete family entertainment. Here are some key learning out of the movie:
• It is a story of how a talented person can fight back to glory, if he remains hopeful and keeps trying.
• It is a story which teaches us two things at the same time importance of having university degrees, and that university degrees are not the only thing that matters.
• It teaches us, how family members should continue supporting each others at the time of adversity. If you keep your head up, any bad phase will pass.
• It teaches us how important it is to keep your spirits positive at the time of lows in our lives. Never give up. Keep trying.
• It teaches us that no job is lowly. Rani had to play pianos in restaurants, but she did it with pride and composure. Saif had to drive a taxi, but he did it for family.
• It teaches us the importance of dreams.
• It teaches us the importance of belief. Rani believed in Saif, she retained her faith and in the last, Saif earned back whatever he had lost.
• It teaches us that we should spend cautiously. While they were rich, Saif used to throw away money. When in bad times, his son had to eat leftovers of others. Children too learn the importance of saving in their piggy banks.
• For children, the movie is a great fun, healthy entertainment and media to learn and grow at the same time.

If you don't believe all this, why don't you go out and check it out at your nearest theatre? And don't forget to take your family, especially the children. Believe me, after a long time, there is a movie worth watching for children.
