Little
did
the
40-year-old
Rahul
know
that
wooing
the
beautiful
Meenamma
Lochni
in
Dilwale
Dulhaniya
Le
Jayenge
(DDLJ)
style
would
land
him
up
in
such
jeopardy.
That
was
possibly
the
biggest
mistake
of
his
life.
But,
this
mistake
was
for
good,
or
in
fact
the
best
that
was
about
to
happen
in
his
life!
After
ruling
the
hearts
of
the
audience
for
decades
as
Rahul,
Shahrukh
is
back
in
his
trademark
DDLJ
romance
in
his
latest
release
Chennai
Express,
but
this
time
in
Rohit
Shetty
'Ishtyle'.
Chennai
Express
is
a
super
masala
entertainment
and
promises
a
great
deal
of
laughter
as
expected
from
the
typical
Rohit
Shetty
style
flicks.
Story
It
all
starts
when
the
40-year-old
bachelor
Rahul
(Shahrukh
Khan)
boards
Chennai
Express
train
that
turns
out
to
be
a
life
changing
decision
for
him.
SRK
as
Rahul
does
a
DDLJ
again,
when
he
tries
hard
to
woo
the
South
beauty
Meenamma
Lochni
(Deepika
Padukone).
Fate
plays
a
twist
in
such
a
way
that
Rahul
gets
entrapped
with
Meenamma,
who
is
the
daughter
of
an
intimidating
south
don.
Both
Rahul
and
Meenamma
try
to
elope,
but
everytime
they
fail
to
do
so
and
end
up
in
trouble.
Chennai
Express
will
leave
you
whistling,
laughing
and
applauding
in
the
theatres.
The
flick
is
a
thorough
entertainer
as
long
as
you
don't
search
for
logic
in
it.
Chennai
Express
makes
an
impressive
start,
especially
the
train
scene,
where
Shahrukh
Khan
meets
Deepika
Padukone.
The
scene
is
simply
hilarious!
Like
almost
all
of
Rohit
Shetty
movies,
even
this
one
doesn't
fail
to
offer
good
dose
of
over
the
top
action.
Adding
on
to
this,
the
film
also
astonishes
the
mass
through
its
marvelous
cinematography.
It
gives
you
a
rich
desi
village
flavour,
based
on
a
South
backdrop
setting.
Performances
Shahrukh
Khan
is
splendid
and
delightful.
Even
at
47,
Khan
retains
his
old
boyish
charm
onscreen.
Though
there's
a
bit
of
overacting
in
parts
by
SRK,
on
the
whole,
he's
the
soul
of
Chennai
Express.
Deepika
Padukone
is
a
complete
stunner.
Forget
her
breathtaking
looks
as
a
South
chick,
Dippy
does
an
incredible
act
in
the
flick.
She
lets
herself
loose
and
surrenders
to
her
character
completely.
Her
performance
is
impressive.
Nikitin
Dheer
does
justice
to
his
villainous
act,
while
South
star
Sathyaraj
doesn't
get
much
opportunity
to
prove
himself
in
the
film.
Verdict
Chennai
Express
is
a
light-hearted
entertainer,
that
stands
strong
and
tall
on
the
shoulders
of
the
super
powerful
'Brand
Shahrukh
Khan'.
It
is
colourful,
fascinating,
fun-filled
and
yes,
of
course...
not
a
mindless
slapstick.
And
remember,
you
are
going
to
watch
comedy,
drama,
lots
of
comic
action
and
flying
cars!
In
one
word,
this
one
is
a
total
paisa
vasool
entertainer.

Floor'
and
a
few
others
are
already
