The most unfortunate thing is to see an aging superstar who had produced great pieces of acting in his early days resort to promoting his own acting in a film which has no original acting. The songs have the most mindless lyrics and numbing tunes which are easily forgotten. The entire movie is based on SRK and dipika who entirely occupy the screen space. Rahul embarks on a journey to some little town in Tamil Nadu to meet the last wish of his grandfather: to have his ashes Situated in Rameshwaram's Holy water. Cinematography is good but with cheap script and acting make it fall in the shadows. Blatant advertising is used to increase revenue. The movie has a very limited story which can be explained in a minute. What it earns is only because of the publicity and marketing gimmicks by the superstar who hopes that people should worship him like the Tamil and Telgu movie stars. In tandem with the current trend of commercialization of the Hindi film industry, SRK has now released a movie which is about to make it to the so called 100 crore rupees club albeit it does not deserve even 10%. Rather in my opinion, this movie deserves a negative and could without a hitch serve as a benchmark for the worst movies made in Bollywood. Unfortunately, I had to give a rating of 1 star to this movie because it isn't possible to give a zero. Other songs which are recognizable felt drab and lack any meaningful lyrics with one or two exceptions which hardly compensate the negative subjects of the movie. The language issue does not end here the songs are mix of Hindi and Tamil which are hard to comprehend. On another note, it would not be wrong to categorize Chennai Express as a Tamil movie taking into consideration that more than half the movie is Tamil and for the rest someone is acting as an interpreter. If the aspect of acting was to be examined, it was not difficult to conclude that both the stars were overacting and if anyone was doing his job well it was Mukesh Tiwari (which too was not very engaging).
Leaving out Deepika Padukone, the other characters start with a complete Tamil comprehension and gradually we find everyone can speak Hindi or English whenever they feel like. The movie has tried an approach of comedy through modification of old hit songs to use it as communication and fails miserably at achieving its target (assuming its target was to amuse the audience and not to be vexatious).
Right from the beginning, the movie strives to appeal to the audience through its ridiculous and irrational humor. I don't know how this movie managed to get the rating it has currently, but I can describe this movie easily in just one word - 'Disastrous'īut what is really wrong with the movie? Simple answer-'Everything'.
