Chennai Express Review

Namma ippo porom, Chennai Express le!

This Rohit Shetty film is all about Rahul (Shahrukh Khan), who goes on a journey to fulfill his late grandfather's last wish, and ends up falling for Meenamma(Deepika Padukone), a typical South Indian girl.The movie is EXACTLY what you expect out of a Rohit Shetty film. Flying cars, Flying bodies, humor that tickles you right in your belly: check, check and check. The movie can be enjoyed by fans of Rohit Shetty, Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. Rohit Shetty must be an admirer of Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jaayenge as he has adapted the movie's concept in a humorous way.

The music is not very impressive. One thing we have to admit is the movie has hilarious humor content. Deepika's work is amazing. Her attempt to imitate the south-Indian accent is simply impeccable. Shahrukh's powers however, are not utilized wisely by Rohit Shetty in the movie. Many parts of the movie seemed unfitting, and forced in for the sake of masala. The climax was draggy. Deepika's costumes were graceful and unrealistic. I mean, common! south Indian small town girls hardly dress that way!(For further evidence, please refer to the women crowd other than her in the second half of the movie).

If you seek pure masala in a movie, then you may board this train 'Chennai Express'. For fans, leave your rational brains at home and enjoy this entertainer. And for others who do not care for movies of this sort, you might wanna skip this one!
