One of the most awaited movie of the year Chennai Express saw a mini release today. With so much hype around the movie there is just one question around the movie watching audience. Will Chennai Express live upto all the hype?
And i would say No despite so much hype and promotions the movie fails to live upto the hype created. The movie is all about how Rahul ( Srk) lands into trouble after meeting Meera in a train named CHENNAIEXPRESS and how Rahul and Meera fall into love with each other and prove love is above everything else.
The movie starts of nicely with Srk’s(Rahul’s) family background being shown. Soon after that follows a Hilarious train sequence which will surely make you all laugh. The starting 20 Minutes of the movie are filled with good jokes, Rahul mocking Tamilians which is funny.The start of the movie raises your expectation for the movie. But as soon as Rahul reaches Chennai the main problem starts.As the movie progresses the jokes seem to be repetitive which don’t seem to be funny any more. There is only one song in the 1st half ie 1234 Get On The Dance Floor in which Srk looks energetic. Post Interval the movie becomes slow. There are a few emotional scenes which are not required. The 1st half has a few funny moments but 2nd half lacks the entertainment value. 2nd half tries to capture Rahul and Meera’s love story which i feel is one of biggest mistake of Chennai Express.
Another flaw in the 2nd half is it contains 3 songs which come at an interval of 8 to 10 minutes. Rohit shetty movies usually dont have many songs but Chennai Express is an Exception.
The movie looses its plot completely in the 2nd half but it is the climax which lifts the pace. Rahuls speech to Meera’s father in the climax is OUTSTANDING. It will remind you of the famous sattar minute dialogue of SRK. He is amazing in the climax. The movie has one fight scene which looks very realistic. Srk looks convincing in the action sequences but over reacts at times specially in the 1st half. Deepika is very good. Her one scene post interval is Amazing. It is one of the plus point of 2nd half.And yes there are cars flying in the movie ROHIT SHETTY style.

Overall Chennai express has a very good start to which it fails to capitalize on. As the movie progresses it looses its plot. Srk fans will enjoy the movie but others would not, The main strength of Chennai Express are the one liners which go missing after initial 20 minutes. This is Rohit Shetty’s one of weakest movie after Sunday.
I would rate this 2 on 5. Srk fans will like it rest can give this a miss.
