Production :
Production Started in May 2006 and the film was released on 27 April 2007. The working title was “Ta Ra Rum Pum Pum.” The film was shot almost entirely in the US, with a few scenes shot at YRF Studios in Mumbai. Portions were filmed in Rockingham, North Carolina at the Rockingham Speedway and at West Allis, Wisconsin at The Milwaukee Mile. Ali Haji had to go through 3 auditions and Angelina Idnani was called in for her fourth audition before they were finalised. The plot is combined with that of Tom Cruise’s Days of Thunder and Will Ferrell’s Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby — the protagonist meets with an accident while racing and than makes a comeback destroying his nemesis race driver – and Will Smith’s The Pursuit of Happyness, where a father and son have to move out of their house, due to the loss of a job.
The cars used in racing scenes were provided by Andy Hillenburg, who purchased Rockingham Speedway months after its release and provided the stunt drivers, as many ARCA Re/Max Series drivers participated in the filming (ARCA Re/Max Series stickers can be found on the cars in the movie; Hillenberg trained stunt drivers, along with letting some film stars take turns driving). Some cars that can be seen in Ta Ra Rum Pum display high resemblance to cars specifically created for Will Ferrell’s Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (except featuring modified sponsorship decals) as Hillenburg provided cars for that movie as well.

Ta Ra Rum Pum Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 5.6 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 4236.
Although story of this movie has some resemblance with some Hollywood movies like days of thunder but still worth to watch. The young director has given his every effort. The acting of Saif and Rani was up to the mark. Especially Rani’s emotions were outstanding, how she handled the scenario of the movie was amazing. Javed Jaffery also played his part perfect. And how we can forget the junior actors, they were also dissolved in their roles. Overall the movie is really worth to watch.
Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 3.5 star out of 5 Star.
