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.

Rated: 1/5

Hollywood Reporter

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

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.

Rated: 2.75/5

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

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Algo exagerado y sin mucha historia, pero aveces suele ser muy entretenida.
