A North Indian man helps a
South Indian girl board the train in DDLJ style, and soon finds that he
has given a helping hand to a don’s daughter. Through the series of events that
follow - involving a good mix of drama, action and comedy – the two eventually
fall in love. Yes, you are right, there is nothing great about the story.
However, “Chennai Express” stills gets 2.5 stars from me for the movie did
manage to make me laugh at regular intervals , beautifully presented the
rural locations in South India and successfully kept the non-Tamil
speaking audience engrossed even with no subtitles for the plenty of Tamil
dialogues in the movie.
After having watched Ra.One if you had lost faith in SRK’s comedy acting skills and dreaded the cheap humor in his films – this one will likely restore your faith to some extent – all credit goes to Rohit Shetty’s direction. Though, SRK still needs improve a lot - maybe take a lesson or two in drunken comedy from the Deols, I am glad that he has at least moved up a few levels from “horrible” to “bearable”.
SRK fans can watch the movie to get a few glimpses of his earlier romantic hits. Like most of the recent SRK movies this one too was scripted with just SRK in mind; however, kudos to Deepika, who still has managed to leave a lasting impression as the accented Meena.
My final take on the movie is – “time-pass for a dull, uneventful weekend”
