Ta Ra Rum Pum
Ta Ra Rum Pum is a 2007 Indian Hindi-language sports drama film directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Angelina Idnani, Ali Haji, and Jaaved Jaaferi. Set in the United States, the narrative follows Rajveer Singh, a professional stock car racer whose career takes a downturn following an accident, and his journey of personal and professional redemption with the support of his wife Radhika and their two children.
Principal photography began in May 2006, with filming taking place across locations such as the Milwaukee Mile in Wisconsin, Rockingham Speedway in North Carolina, and on sets in Mumbai. The music was composed by Vishal–Shekhar, with lyrics written by Javed Akhtar.
Ta Ra Rum Pum was released theatrically on 27 April 2007 and received mixed reviews from critics who praised Khan and Mukerji's performances, as well as the film's production values and setting, but criticised the screenplay and pacing. The film emerged as a moderate commercial success, grossing ₹70 crore (US$8.3 million) worldwide, and ranked as the tenth highest-grossing Hindi film of the year.
Rajveer "RV" Singh is a cheerful and ambitious race track pit crew member in New York City who dreams of becoming a professional car racer. His skills attract the attention of Hariprasad "Harry" Patel, a racing team manager, after RV illegally speeds a taxi owned by Harry's team, Speeding Saddles. Impressed, Harry offers RV a contract as a professional stock car racer.
RV quickly rises to prominence in the racing world and marries Radhika "Shona" Shekhar Rai Bannerjee, a pianist studying at Columbia University, despite her father's disapproval due to RV's lack of formal education. Radhika eventually gives up her career to raise their two children, Priya "Princess" and Rajveer Jr. "Champ," while RV continues his racing career.
Eight years later, RV is hospitalized following a crash during a race caused by rival racer Rusty Finkelstein. Although he recovers physically and returns to racing after a year, the psychological trauma resulting from the impact affects his performance, leading to him finishing last in every race. Eventually, the team owner, Billy Bhatia, replaces him with Rusty.
Unable to find stable employment, and after a failed attempt to form a new team, RV and his family face financial difficulties, resulting in the foreclosure of their home and the loss of most possessions. RV hides the truth from Princess and Champ by lying that they are on a reality TV show. With limited resources, they move into a modest apartment on the city's outskirts. To support their children's continued education, RV and Shona take on various odd jobs. Shona's father offers assistance, but she refuses after he insults RV.
RV briefly considers giving up their dog, Bruno, to reduce expenses, but ultimately keeps him after encouragement from Harry, who offers RV a taxi license, which he reluctantly accepts. After a heated argument between Shona and RV, Princess and Champ learn about their financial troubles. They secretly save their lunch money by eating from the school dustbin, while RV works as a taxi driver, and Shona plays in restaurants. RV encounters a passenger who asks for a speedy airport arrival; using it as a chance to test his racing skills, RV initially does well but falters after suffering flashbacks of his accident.
