Director: Rohit Shetty
Cast: Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone
And it is the same
bollywood ishtyle romantic movies where happy endings are not a new thing.
Rohit Shetty starrer Chennai Express is a rom com with a tinge of South Indian tadka
in it. The director has for the first time paired up with the king of romance
Shah Rukh khan and Deepika Padukone after delivering an array of comedy films
and one action film.
The story of the film
revolves around the life of Rahul and Mennamma who meet with each other in Chennai
Express and ultimately fall in love. Rahul, a 40 year old guy is bored with
life and want to start a new phase of life after the death of his grandfather
who unfortunately died at the age of 99. So, he is all ready to go to
Rameshwaram to throw away the ashes of his grand father and after that start
his business in Goa. Well, in the process of doing so he boards a train and
ultimately ends up meeting a south Indian girl Meenamma who is chased by her
four cousins to prevent her from eloping away in Pune so that she could avoid
the marriage that her Periathali(meaning
DON in tamil) father has fixed up with another Don of Khumban village.
Shahrukh khan in his typical romantic hero
style try to woo Deepika but ultimately realizes the fact that he rather needs
to be really cautious as her big and huge brothers are always by her side. Trouble
erupts at that time when Mennamma tells her father that she is already engaged
to Rahul and they are about to get married. Niktin Dheer plays the baddie in
the film who is the chosen groom by her father. And as it is in most of the
Bollywood movies there is a fight in the end between the hero and villain where
however tall and strong the villain is but the hero ultimately wins.
Rohit shetty has very
beautifully captured the exotic beauty of the south Indian village Khumban at
Tamil and has portrayed on screen beautifully. You will be mesmerized by the
wonderful beauty of the place in the movie. Shahrukh khan and Deepika Padukone
both do justice to their respective roles, no doubt in that. Hats off to
Deepika for mastering the Tamil accent
as she proves that she is really not a Bokwas
when it comes to playing roles of a different genre.
You will laugh your
heart out in the first half of the film due to the funny rendition of Shahrukh’s
Tamil accent but the second half of the film is equally emotional and romantic.
As far as music is
concerned, Vishal-Shekhar combo has always been a hit. The foot tapping item
song 1234 is wonderfully choreographed. You will feel the romance in the air
with Titli and don’t leave your seat with the film is complete coz there is
more to watch of the lungi dance. Through
out the film, they have humorously used songs of various Bollywood films coz it
is the only way through which Rahul and Mennama can communicate.
Well, if you are
getting bored on a Sunday, then Chennai Express is a film you can watch with
your family. If you are a film buff, then sorry it has nothing special to
offer.
