'Tum Mile' focusses on the fateful July day in 2005, 26th precisely, when Mumbai was literally devastated by continuous torrential rainfall. Mumbai has braved through many disasters in recent times, most of them caused by man, but in some cases Nature decides to become destiny. When Akshay and Sanjana, who incidentally are estranged lovers, meet on the plane to Mumbai, little do they know that the city is all set to give them a wet reception - to use an understatement.
From this point on we are poised between the past and the present. The love story in itself is as typical as it can be. Rich (Forbes listed) girl meet-love-live-in with talented but poor painter boy and then circumstance intervenes. They break up and move on, and it takes the plight of an entire city to make them realize the undercurrents in their minds which none of the two seems to have overcome. Wheeeeee. No, this is not oversimplification, the love angle actually runs like this. What elevates the film to a higher level overcoming the weakness in storyline is Kunal Deshmukh's execution of the narrative and convincing performances from the two lead actors.
This is Kunal Deshmukh's second love story after 'Jannat' but perhaps the promos and the publicity were a bit misleading. The audience expected to see a serious portrayal of the Mumbai floods on celluloid, but in this regard, only assumptions are to be blamed. The memories of that July is fresh in our memories and the onset of every monsoon since then have been the reason for many a panic attacks. While the director succeeds in depicting the tension between the lovers quite well, it's the disaster aspect that leaves one disappointed. There is a harping feeling that the flood situation should have been shown in greater detail thereby creating more impact. Instead it has only been used as a lever that takes a love story forward.
