CSS Image not scaling on hover - html

Question

I've made a responsive image grid and am trying to add a hover effect to it so that the image gets a dark overlay and some text fades in on it. However, I've been having a tough time implementing it.
Here's my HTML structure.
<div class="tile">
<img src="some_image" class="animate">
<div class="overlay">
<p>Mahatma Gandhi</p>
</div>
And here's my CSS
.gallery .row .tile:hover ~ .tile img {
transform: scale(1.2);
}
However upon hovering over the image, it does not have the expected behaviour.
What's wrong?
EDIT
I got the hover effect to work and I can now fade in text.
Here's my code for that:
<div class="tile">
<img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Tagore_Gandhi.jpg/220px-Tagore_Gandhi.jpg" class="animate">
<div class="overlay">
<div class="text">Mahatma Gandhi</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.tile {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
.image {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
.overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
opacity: 0;
transition: .5s ease;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
}
.tile:hover .overlay {
opacity: 1;
}
This seems to work but I think it doesnt have a certain "feel" to it. So I need to add a scale effect to the image. How can I do that

Here is a jsFiddle that i think will help you to resolve your issue: https://jsfiddle.net/mcs3yn1x/
HTML
<div class="tile">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/200/300" class="animate">
<div class="overlay">
<p>Mahatma Gandhi</p>
</div>
CSS
.tile {
border: 2px solid black;
}
.tile:hover img {
transform: scale(1.2);
}

After hearing alittle more about your issue I have created the following jsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/f1gzonjr/4/
HTML
<div class="tile">
<div class="container">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/200/300" class="animate">
<div class="overlay">
<p>Mahatma Gandhi</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.tile {
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
height: 300px;
width: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 2px solid black;
}
.container:hover img{
transform: scale(1.2);
}
.overlay{
position: absolute;
display: none;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}
.overlay p {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
}
.tile:hover .overlay{
display: block;
}

Here is an alternate solution. Not sure if its what you wanted.
.tile:hover img, .tile.hover img {transform: scale(1.2);}
Here is the original answer that I adapted: Change background color of child div on hover of parent div?
-----EDIT-----
To stop it scaling and breaking responsiveness you will need to add a container around the image and then set overflow to none.
HTML:
<div class="tile">
<div class="img-container"><img src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/16C0E/production/_109089139_928b0174-4b3f-48ff-8366-d118afa1ed56.jpg" class="animate"></div>
<div class="overlay">
<p>Mahatma Gandhi</p>
CSS:
.img-container{
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.tile:hover img, .tile.hover img {
transform: scale(1.2);
}

Here is a code
.zoom {
padding: 50px;
background-color: green;
transition: transform .2s; /* Animation */
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.zoom:hover {
transform: scale(1.5); /* (150% zoom - Note: if the zoom is too large, it will go outside of the viewport) */
}
<div class="zoom"></div>
