‘New benchmarks’, ‘unstoppable’, ‘new records’ and other inappropriate phrases were used by the people to describe the Super-hit “Chennai Express”. Chennai Express was released on 9th August, 2013 and has been breaking every record in front of it, ever since. They all praise Shahrukh Khan, but for what, his needless over-acting in his new movie? The major role in the movie was played by Deepika Padukone as her hard work was clearly shown.
As other Rohit Shetty’s cliché movies, this one also involves bright colours and raging cars crashing against each other. Though this one broke numerous records, it still isn’t a big hit in Shahrukh’s career. After working in super-hit movies like ‘Chakde India!’, ‘My Name is Khan’, ‘Don’, ‘Swades’, and many more, Chennai Express has not only lowered his action skills, but made a fool out of himself, at the age of 40 (as shown in the movie).
However, on the other hand, Deepika Padukone was the hero of the entire movie, where she didn’t only mesmerize and stun her fans by talking in the (arguably pathetic) South Indian accent, but also out-shined in her acting skills. We wouldn’t have even realized SRK’s absence in the movie if he weren’t there, because Deepika Padukone was the star of the entire movie. I believe that without her, the movie wouldn’t have even gone this far. Speaking of, Chennai Express and Shahrukh Khan, it was definitely absurd to see him promoting his stupid film in every event he went to. Even when he was present at the ‘Saath Hai Hum Uttarakhand’ show that premiered on August 15th, 2013; he still promoted his pathetic movie in-spite of paying sympathy and respect to the soldiers. How insensitive could anyone get, though? Not just that, but he continued to promote his movie on every TV show that he was called on.
It is a great thing that Chennai Express, of all the other brilliant movies in Bollywood, beat 100 crores in less than a week, but for what is it loved? Shahrukh Khan’s over-acting and needless drama in the movie sure did keep the movie going, but also bored a few viewers. He was only making a fool out of everyone in the movie by being a fool himself. The movie focussed on insulting the people of South India, and he just added a little more of his pathetic humour to ignite the fire of rubbish. Shahrukh Khan could do a lot better in his career by not being premiered in the movie, in the first place, because Deepika Padukone deserved all the credit, so Chennai Express didn’t need Shahrukh Khan after all.

At times, I feel I should trick my future husband like this if he doesn't treat me right. Absolutely brilliant concept. Loved the performance of both the actors. Loved the storyline and the plot. This is one of those rare films that outdid the book. Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck have performed exceptionally well. Seems like a feminist film where they support the woman's sexual needs and her capability to destroy her man's life, in literal sense. The 2014 suspense thriller not only made a revolutionary comeback of the two actors but also heightened the level of expectancy from the audience.
I hope they make more films like this in which women have their interests and fantasies exposed and are not portrayed wrongly either.

An interesting twist of action and thrill, Robby Grewal continues to stun his audience with this 2003 movie, Samay. The movie didn’t make it well, commercially, but it is definitely worth a watch. With Sushmitha Sen in the lead, this movie not only made her a versatile actor but also thrilled the audience. With a brilliant script and storyline, Samay beat most of the thriller Bollywood movies made, well even now.
However, as every Bollywood movie, the story is a little slow in the first half, but it increases the suspense and curiosity in the audience throughout. Even though it’s probably an old movie as we think of it now, but it’s definitely worth a watch for those who haven’t seen it. This is a re-make of the Hollywood movie, Se7en which did fairly good in the theatres as well. But for all the Sushmitha Sen fans, and those who aren’t too, I think, this was her best movie, in her career till now.
With a brilliant concept and script, the lighting and sound effects complimented the movie. Though this was more of a flop, when seen commercially, but it is enjoyed by everyone, be it kids, teens, adults or even senior citizens. Sushmitha Sen has done a tremendous job, playing the job of a single mother and being both, the man and woman of her house. The movie also talks about how she tries to catch this serial killer on the loose, with the various pressures in her life, as she not only runs her house, but also serves her country to the best of her strength. The smart and intelligent Ms. Sen has lived up to the expectations of the viewers, and has in-turn inspired all the women who watched the movie too.
