Chennai Express Movie Review: A Total Paisa Vasool Entertainer
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.
