Ta Ra Rum Pum is a 2007 Indian Hindi-language sports drama film directed by Siddharth Anand and written by Habib Faisal. It stars Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Angelina Idnani, Ali Haji and Javed Jaffrey. In the film, newly-successful professional racer Rajveer (Khan) faces success and tribulations within the U.S. stock car racing scene, supported by his pianist-wife Radhika (Mukerji).[2]
Ta Ra Rum Pum draws inspiration from the films Days of Thunder (1990), Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and The Pursuit of Happyness (both 2006), and marks Khan and Mukerji's second collaboration, after Hum Tum (2004), which was co-written by Anand. The film marks the second collaboration between Anand and Khan, after Salaam Namaste (2005). Principal photography began in May 2006 and lasted until that June, with the filming locations including the Milwaukee Mile, the Rockingham Speedway, and on set in Mumbai.
Ta Ra Rum Pum was theatrically released in India by Yash Raj Films on 27 April 2007. The film emerged as a moderate commercial success, grossing ₹70 crore (US$8.4 million) worldwide, thus becoming the tenth highest grossing Hindi film of the year. It received mixed reviews from critics upon release, with praise for its setting, and Khan and Mukherji's performances, but criticism for its screenplay, length, and pacing.
