Chennai Express- This Journey isn't too much Fun..!!!


Being a Salman Khan loyalist I was disappointed to see an SRK Movie being slated for an Eid Release. Nevertheless I went ahead to watch Chennai Express with no expectations since Rohit Shetty is known for making no-brainers to target the masses and win the commercial chase at the box office.

I won’t go too much in details, as there isn't anything to talk about. Like all his previous movies, this 
one is also devoid of a convincing plot. And deliberately infused action scenes to make all his movies look larger than life, keeps the consistency of all Rohit Shetty movies. SRK, has his own charm but honestly speaking comedy is not his genre, his attempts at comedy seem more convoluted than convincing. For a Hindi movie, there’s too much Tamil spoken, I completely agree it keeps the authenticity of story, but then there could have been subtitles as most of the dialogues are just lost in translations.  Music is average, and some songs just seem to be forcefully added, however “Lungi Dance” seems to have been ruling the chart busters and the playlist at all the Night Clubs.

Deepika Padukone manages to add great visual appeal to the movie with her amazing screen presence. But what’s with that fake Tamil dialect? I’m sure whatever Tamil she spoke was completely incomprehensible even to the Tamilians. Nevertheless, she managed to pull off the character of a damsel in distress very convincingly with her incredible beauty and over the top glamour quotient. This girl is capable of carrying any avatar in the most gorgeous manner and makes her traditional get up look as glamorous as her style statements in previous movies like Cocktail and Yeh Jawani hai Deewani.  That’s an incredible feat, considering she’s just a few films old.

The movie doesn't have too much to offer to the audience who expect a lot when you have such a strong star cast. Chennai Express will still appeal to the SRK loyalist, who will be enamored with his patent charm of a lover boy.  This movie is fun for all those who enjoy the comedy endorsed by Rohit Shetty.
