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.
