CHENNAI EXPRESS
Rohit Shetty, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, the troika, has been seen promoting the movie on such a grandiose phase. The comedy along with the action is rarely served with equal entertainment in today’s cinema and Rohit Shetty is one director who is supremely prudent in the art. This movie is the trademark of his 'ishtyle', with blowing up cars, mass appealing humor and clap-trap. The movie is all about serving the spectators with entertainment, entertainment and entertainment. The movie is about a man's journey from Mumbai to Komban village & then to Rameshwaram and what happens during the journey. A 40 year old bachelor Rahul, who lands up in a totally unexpected journey that makes him realize the importance of love, life relationships and sacrifice. Rahul realizes the power of true love during his journey.
The songs *were* never the highpoint of the movie, as the talented duo Vishal-Shekhar have more muscles but after watching the movie, you *will* definitely get back to the tracks on youtube. The dialogues [Sajid-Farhad] are hilarious. The best parts of the film are when Meena and Rahul communicate through Hindi songs; these are the only places where the screenplay sets forth imaginative virtue and how! Dudley's cinematography captures the mood of the film as well as the spectacular locales of South India with flourish. The editing [Steven Bernard] is crisp in the first half but alike typical Bollywood movies, this one too dips in the post interval portion but towards the penultimate moments, the movie regains momentum & the concluding reels are the highpoint of the enterprise where SRK confronts Deepika's father (read verbally) and Tangaballi, played by Nikitin Dheer (read fight).
Being a masala movie, music doesn't have much scope, surprisingly! It is only in the second half where a song comes every 5-10 minutes of the running. The sketchy editing in the second half wears you out as thoroughout this period, the movie doesn't show much happenings.
SRK, as Rahul, is befitting. His energy, dialogue delivery and the persona, he possesses, are the three pillars in making him the soul of the movie. He's the King Khan & no two doubts in that. The magnitude of SRK's fan-following is unfathomable and this movie would be the highest grossing movie for him. The immensely talented Deepika’s diction and lingo are consistently right. She's proved her mettle time and again & this time, she is no different. Nikitin Dheer is robust. Sathyaraj is competent as Deepika's father. He conveys through his eyes, which would earn him more glory. Mukesh Tiwari does evoke mirth partially.
On the whole, Chennai Express will leave you whistling, laughing and applauding in the theatres, as designed to woo the masses. In Rohit Shetty 'ishtyle', Chennai Express is a super masala entertainment and promises a great deal of laughter as expected from the typical Rohit Shetty style flicks, as long as you don't search for logic in it. After a long time you could go and watch a movie with complete FAMILY, which is sparse & matters a lot now-a-days. Board this Express. Get on the train baby.
