Tum Mile *

It pains me to witness the downfall of the very man who gave us Jannat. Kunal Deshmukh's second attempt at filmmaking does not manage to achieve the required chutzpah as his previous film did. Let's cook up a cheesy, stale, weak and predictable love story against a backdrop of a disaster (yawn!), and voila, we have Tum Mile!
Mr Director, breathtaking locales, pretty eyecandy leading ladies, wannabe rom-com situations and terrific music have absolutely no meaning if the script and screenplay is null.

Emraan Hashmi does not deliver quite up to the mark, and his expressions look forced. Wait, does he even have any? Soha is okay, and manages to look pretty, but that's about it. Mantra is the surprise package, and manages to save the sagging film, with his witticisms and crisp dialogue delivery. Apart from beautiful locales, flooded scenes, and good music, do not expect anythinge else. Taut editing, better performances from the lead actors, and a better screenplay would have done wonders. Alas.
