Chennai Express - Bolly's biggest release of 2013 - is a shameless, silly and shallow 'masala' entertainer which represents, yet again, everything that is reprehensible about mass commercial Hindi cinema. Go to Full Review

Khan's gift for effortlessly moving between comedy and love scenes is complemented by Padukone's striking beauty and comic chops. Go to Full Review

One thing’s for sure: this film is not as mindless as it would like us to think it is. (...) Chennai Express is not unrelentingly laugh-worthy, but it’s still good enough for a relaxed, pleasant evening. Go to Full Review

I kind of liked the film, I just wish there was a bit more meat on these very familiar bones. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Once he runs out of jokes and jeeps to explode, Shetty dodders in classic stereotypes as well as his fondness for saturated colours, tossing in ugly visual effects. Go to Full Review

Karan Dec 10 Chennai express Movie See more Taseer A Jan 11 Chennai Express is a vibrant, entertaining blend of action, romance, and comedy that showcases Rohit Shetty’s signature larger-than-life storytelling. Shah Rukh Khan brings his trademark charisma to the role of Rahul, a hapless man who finds himself caught in a whirlwind of events after boarding the wrong train. His comic timing and ability to switch from goofy to emotional are on full display. Deepika Padukone shines as Meenamma, effortlessly blending humour and strength while nailing her Tamil-accented Hindi. Together, their chemistry is electric and keeps the story engaging. The film is packed with Shetty’s trademark action sequences and colourful visuals, along with a dose of slapstick humour that works more often than not. The music, particularly songs like "Lungi Dance" and "Titli," adds to the film’s appeal and helps maintain its lively pace. While Chennai Express is undeniably fun, its over-the-top moments and reliance on stereotypes can feel excessive at times. The narrative occasionally leans on formulaic tropes, but the sheer energy of the performances and the film's charm keep it afloat. Overall, Chennai Express is a thoroughly enjoyable ride, offering a mix of laughter, romance, and action that makes for an entertaining watch, even if it isn’t ground-breaking.
