Four
years
back,
the
infamous
Mumbai
floods
had
created
headlines
world
over.
True
to
their
reputation,
the
Bhatt
brothers
have
taken
a
cue
from
these
headlines
and
finished
Tum
Mile,
a
film
that
has
the
2005
floods
as
its
backdrop.
Directed
by
Kunal
Deshmukh
of
Jannat
fame,
the
film
stars
Vishesh
Films'
blue
eyed
boy
Emraan
Hashmi
along
with
Soha
Ali
Khan
and
is
all
set
for
a
24th
July
release.
Says
a
unit
source,
"The
film
sees
the
return
of
Sony
Music
and
Vishesh
Films
who
had
collaborated
just
a
few
weeks
back
for
Raaz
-
The
Mystery
Continues.
Not
only
was
the
horror
flick
biggest
hit
ever
for
Emraan
Hashmi
and
Vishesh
Films,
even
if
one
looks
at
the
quarter
gone
by,
Raaz
-
The
Mystery
Continues
is
the
first
and
the
only
hit
of
2009."
He
does
make
a
point
when
while
stating
the
fact
that
this
is
no
mean
feat
considering
that
some
of
the
biggest
stars
and
biggest
movies
were
released
in
the
first
quarter
of
2009.
"Look
at
Akshay
Kumar's
Chandni
Chowk
To
China,
Shahrukh
Khan's
Billu,
Abhishek
Bachchan's
Delhi
6
or
Farhan
Akhtar's
Luck
By
Chance
-
not
a
single
film
turned
lucky
and
actually
sunk
without
a
trace."
Says
Mukesh
Bhatt,
"We
have
always
maintained
that
content
is
the
King.
We
have
backed
strong
content
and
now
the
icing
on
the
cake
is
that
we
also
have
a
top
actor
(Emraan
Hashmi)
amongst
us.
This
only
makes
the
project
bigger
and
better."
Not
much
is
revealed
about
the
story
line
of
the
movie
though
except
for
the
fact
that
it
is
a
love
story
with
a
backdrop
of
infamous
26th
July'05
Mumbai
floods.
Apparently,
the
characters
played
by
Emraan
Hashmi
and
Soha
Ali
Khan
get
trapped
in
the
floods.
Insiders
have
been
raving
about
the
canvas
of
the
film
since
these
floods
on
the
streets
of
Mumbai
have
been
re-created.
"You
should
have
been
on
the
sets
to
believe
it",
says
Emraan
Hashmi,
"Water
level
there
was
scary
enough
to
actually
drown
people.
Kunal
(Deshmukh)
wanted
the
situation
to
be
an
exact
replica
of
the
horrific
flood
situation
that
the
city
faced
that
fateful
night.
It
was
difficult
to
even
imagine
how
commuters
would
have
struggled
with
no
support
whatsoever."
The
film
is
also
special
for
another
reason.
Though
Raaz
-
The
Mystery
Continues
saw
Bhatts
coming
together
with
a
team
of
different
composers,
Tum
Mile
marks
the
coming
back
of
Pritam
whose
last
association
with
them
had
resulted
in
blockbuster
musical
success
Jannat'.
Earlier,
he
has
also
worked
on
the
music
of
Awarapan,
Gangster
and
Woh
Lamhe
for
the
Bhatt
banner.
Tum
Mile
is
not
the
first
film
though
which
has
been
based
on
the
2005
floods.
A
small
time
film
called
26th
July
at
Barista
was
released
without
any
fanfare
last
year.
The
film
had
starred
newcomers
like
Kabier
Sawhney
and
Simran
Vaid
and
was
touted
as
a
tribute
to
all
the
people
of
Mumbai
who
faced
this
hard
reality
and
overcame
it.
However,
the
film
had
arrived
unannounced
and
sank
without
a
trace.
