There is this notion among south indians that this film has made fun of them and I am still against the Lungi Dance which is supposed to be a tribute to Shri . Rajinikanth . I was an ardent fan of Shahrukh Khan but the fan in me was dying a slow death from his past few movies and like Shahrukh wanted a Blockbuster very badly , I also wanted to see him in some good entertaining movies . I did'nt say meaningful . Please note that . I booked a seat in this train knowing that it's a Rohit Shetty Film , Shahrukh in a love story yet again , south indian accent battered more than halal ..
The film starts on a very slow note making you wonder whether it's really chennai express or some other movie as you expect flares from the word go because of the combo offer . The film picks pace after 5 or so minutes and it's express screenplay after that . Shahrukh is Rahul again and deepika padukone is Meenamma . The chemistry works wonderfully and its visible on screen . The story is nothing different . It's the same love story but the film will work for you solely because of Shahrukh Khan , Deepika Padukone , Songs , Screenplay and humour sprinkled every now and then so that the interest lingers on .
The story is predictable from very far , as far as from Rameshwaram itself . Talking about Rameshwaram , this is the main point of the movie . Shahrukh's grandfather dies and his last wish is that his ashes to be immersed in ganga and rameshwaram . So that's the reason why shahrukh lands up on chennai express , but the director never explains why the grandfather wishes his ashes to be immersed both in ganga and rameshwaram .. weird .
Shahrukh seems to have sleepwalked this role as he has played the same several times .. there are places where he has underplayed also . He has made fun of his own movie dilwale dulhania lejayange which is noteworthy . Deepika Padukone plays the role to the T . She has dubbed her own voice for the tamil dialogues also which is a good effort . Now coming to the accent .. I think it's been deliberate to add more fun to the movie and it's not intended to hurt anyone . Satyaraj in a forgettable debut in hindi . He is okay for a father role and that too a don role . He can do better roles .
The second half is also good and has a good pace . There are few twists and turns in the tract but the train doesn't derail of the course . You get the entertainment . The songs are good so is the background music . We all know that it's a rohit shetty movie so we know that we gonna get good masala mad comedy . So don't crib about logic . I am asking you not to expect logic ,then it means there are few scenes sans logic . Yeah but this movie is better compared to his other mad crap comedies .
The humour is dialouge based so you will definitely enjoy it . What I am happy about and a plus point for those who understand tamil and hindi is that there are few dialouges in tamil also . So I understood every line in the film . You will find it funny that Satyaraj tells a dialogue in tamil and then translates the same in hindi in the climax. I found it hilarious .
There is a particular scene where deepika padukone kicks shahrukh in the sleep . What you saw in the trailer is just a tip of an iceberg . The scene is complete hilarious and brought the roof down . Deepika excels shahrukh in this particular scene .
If you have watched telugu and tamil movies , then you will realise that two scenes are copied from south .. one scene is lifted from Muthu - the letter scene where everyone reads thinking its for them only .. the second scene is from Okkadu .. the scene where shahrukh holds the knife to deepikas neck and escapes , pushing the villain to the dirt . Whoever the writers are , they are good at lifting scenes . If you sit and think you will realise that it's actually Okkadu Telugu movie remade into Hindi keeping the main theme of hero rescuing the heroine from the hands of villain accidentally and realising his love for her at the end of the movie , fights for her ..
The movie is definitely worth watching with your family as its a complete masala entertainer . This Eid belongs to Shahrukh Khan and will not be surprised if he targets Eid for his big releases for the next couple of years ....
All I would say is ...
Ticket Khareed Ke
bhait ja seat pe
nikal na jaye kahin CHENNAI EXPRESS..
