Chennai Express Review

Friday First Day, First Show - Chennai Express

First and foremost (too much first), dear Rohit Shetty, you have made a Hindi movie not a Tamil one. Subtitles toh dal deta dost. Tamil sabko samajh mein nahi aati. Allarikum Tamil Teriyade. Tamil Ila.

Knowing how much Shetty loves the word 'vehicle' I was just waiting at the edge of my seat to see anything with wheels flying up in the sky, break walls, topple. Shetty makes you wait a good length in the movie for the gates to open (like literally)

Deepika for once doesn't look sloshed or in the mood to party here (slow clap) but you can tell from the look on her face that she's just waiting to come out of the sari and PARTY (PUT YA HANDS UP) *maine pehne party shoes. gonna let my body loose. peeli hai thodi booze. lets party on my mind *

Towards the end, we see the hero giving a 'I love the girl' speech to father. Girl full flat after hearing. Goon fight scene follows (hindi movie/ rohit shetty). Watch SRK with dimples fight for love. Gasp and go Aww.

People flying north, west, east and south indians flying south (Fuck Yes)

Dad sees boy's courage. Rock like mentality of father melts. Gives girl to boy. Happy Ending.

And yes, SRK's name in the film is Rahul. Have we ever seen a hindi movie where a guy named Rahul doesn't get the girl.

Don't pay more than 150 bucks to see such a film. Pay more if you have company. And pay more attention to the company than the movie. There's a reason they're called corner seats.
