Chennai Express (2013)

Chennai express has everything going for it from the word PO!(Go in Tamil) I am a die hard Shahrukh fan and love Deepika too and let me tell you I wasn't disappointed at all!(though I had serious,serious doubts about the film till it actually began)

The film is a laugh riot! Amazing comedy timing, carefully written script, beautifully shot and two absolutely BRILLIANT actors. Deepika in particular is exceptionally good! She does so well that Shahrukh is side lined in a number of scenes they have together! The support cast and background actors do a fab job too.

A lot had been written and said about what is the need for Shahrukh to follow the others and be a part of another brainless action flick. But thats the difference, this one is miles away from one. No south film remake, no ridiculous flying fight scenes and the female lead actually HAD a role! I never thought the two of them could actually come together and make a one of a kind film, keeping the essence of the genres that each of them is famous for intact!

An original Bollywood flick 'King Khan' and Rohit Shetty style.

The music is extremely catchy and does complete justice to the film,not being too much, but just right.So a BIG thumbs up to Vishal-Shekhar!

A good comedy after a long, long time. Shahrukh had said that he took up this movie only because he was in 'splits' when he heard the script. And he's right, the script is the hero and thats why everything else falls in place. There is logic to everything.

If your a Shahrukh or Deepika fan, your're in for a treat! And the others, trust me, you will not be bored! :)

So,get on the train baby!

And, for the record, this film does not show any of the community in bad light or try to ridicule a south Indian as it was assumed initially by a lot of people as Deepika was required to do a south accent. I agree its not completely authentic but the dialogues are so good that the different accents is just to portray the cultural difference. Me, being a part north Indian and part south Indian did not feel humiliated but enjoyed every little bit. :)

Fmovies: Will Rohit Shetty ever make a decent watchable movie? His other works of art include Bol Bacchan, Golmaal series but this one still manages to top the lot.

The script would bore a five-year old. It has no depth whatsoever. The characters are totally mindless. Shah Rukh Khan is incapable of acting in a normal, believable role. His usual brand of hyperbole is starting to wear thin (apparently not with the average audience though).

Deepika Padukone is the only saving grace.

The movie doesn't even deserve the one star that I am forced to give it because of the IMDb rating system. I want my money and three hours back.

‎ChennaiExpress‬ - The movie delivered what promised and that is sheer ENTERTAINMENT.

Since it was a Rohit Shetty movie, I entered the theater having a mindset of seeing those illogical stunts and gravity defying action, but I was really surprised to see a "toned" down Rohit Shetty in this movie. Yes there were few action scenes here and there, but it was not very "over the top" as was synonymous with a Shetty movie. For me, I will not tag it as a complete "no brainer mindless masala flick", as it surely isn't.

Coming to acting, SRK's comic timing was impeccable even when he was hamming through the scenes, it was done with a purpose, but finally it was Deepika Padukone who stole the hearts with her endearing performance. And did I mention it was funny, rather hilarious at times.

A complete Family Entertainer.

Those who don't feel laughing their hearts out won't hurt their intellect, will surely love this movie

Chennai Express fmovies. First of all I'm quite surprised that how this movie got 7.5 in IMDb. story : Same as typical Bollywood movies. There are no new in this story. Within 15 minutes you can guess the story properly. Cast :Deepika Padukone did excellent job in this movie. But I was expected little more from SRK. Director: Rohit sir did the same job like his other movies. But there was no room for comedy. There are few punch lines. Songs: Songs are good. Title and lungi dance are catchy. Cinematography : Cinematography was excellent. I really appreciate for this. Overall: If you want to see this movie then wait for just 1 month.Don't buy tickets for this kind of movie. If you are a sensible movie lover then you don't need to watch this movie in theater.

I have no idea why this movie is getting such good ratings. The movie was a pain to watch, with a handful of original comic moments. Shah Rukh Khan did a pretty horrible job of acting. Its disappointing that this movie is doing so well in the box office. Seriously, where are Bollywood's standards. I understand this is supposed to be a comedy/drama movie, but come on. Oh well, its made by Rohit Shetty, could not have expected anything better. The direction is horrible, more of a Tamil/Tollywood movie than a Bollywood movie. Cars flying, hero beating the crap out of 20 guys at once, I guess that turns on the audience.

VERY DISAPPOINTING MOVIE. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

I wonder how can this movie be the top revenue grosser in India ?! I doubt that Indian audience is so crazy for a bad story, badly acted , stereotypical formula movie on which they are splurging their hard earned money. This movie has to be one of the worst I have ever seen. It has absolutely no entertainment value.

SRK is terrible in this movie, not that he has impressed me with his acting skills in any movie. Deepika Padukone is absolutely gorgeous, but, her performance in this movie lacks acting skills. Is it the director who does not bring out the best in her, or is it the Indian audience who just wants " Time Pass " movies with just a couple of beautiful faces, stupid story line and making fun of dwarfs!!

OMG this is such a terrible movie and got such good reviews ! Probably the reviews are paid for as a marketing gimmick.
