Critical reception

Tum Mile opened to mixed to positive reviews, with most major critics agreeing it to be a passable movie. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it a rating of 3/5 and said, "Tum Mile caters to the youth mainly. At the box-office, the Vishesh Films - Emraan Hashmi combo has cultivated a strong fan-base over the years and coupled with good music, which is also very popular, the film should find itself in the comfortable zone". [7] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Go, get a taste of substantial Bollywood with Tum Mile: a story well told". [8] A critic from Hindustan Times wrote that "You realise, while the romance and its conflicts are short-lived, this is not a disaster film at all. I mean this as much for its genre as hopefully its fate among the public". [9] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Ultimately, though, Tum Mile's true strength lies in the combined appeal and compelling performances of Emraan and Soha. Awe-inspiring it is not but engaging? By all means". [10] A critic from Mid-Day wrote that "More miserable than doomsday, TM fails to capture the pathos of the ordinary Mumbaikar or even weave an original love story that could rise above clichés". [11] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "The problem in Tum Mile is that the screenplay is too well plotted, almost like a set-up, while the lead pair lack any magic. The dialogues are very wordy and the entire tone of the film is a bit plodding. [12] A critic from The Economic Times wrote that "Tum Mile might be dilute on the deluge but concentrates on having its heart in the right place. Watch it as a disaster flick and you will find it disastrous. Watch it as a love story and you will love it". [13]

Box office

According to Box Office India, Tum Mile was a flop, grossing only ₹13.46 crores on a budget of ₹22 crore, just short of its budget. [2] [14]
