Chennai Express is the perfect movie, if you are still having that last glance at the almirah top before sleeping or waking up on every thump noise you hear (sure after-effects of The Conjuring).
Soumitra and myself went for the Paid Preview Show. The movie actually started late because of some technical issues but from the first scene it was a hilarious journey. Giving a hand to Meena Lochni (Deepika Padukone) board the train and when thanked humorously commenting "Meri toh aadat hai, pehle bhi ki hai" hint sparks the humor fire which is in store. Shahrukh's overacting cant be seen as a negative, perhaps his character demanded the same. You would see a lot of SRK-posture templates throughout the movie. The other character's portrayal, body language is commendable. Everything seemed very much in place. Lot of Tamil dialogues (with no visual subtitles though) but not to worry the characters on screen would help you in translating. Songs sound nice and electric, well thats expected from a south impression-ed movie.
Action sequels wise there are car-blasting, men-flying scenes again expected from Rohit Shetty. Pleasant surprise was a song dedicated to Mr. Rajnikant also mentioned in the opening credits.
Storywise there's nothing different, but that would not set you back, because the humor and light hearted feeling which the movie provides is soothing. Though this story would have been real hit if it was released around 2005 or so.
Businesswise, well when you have an actor-cum-entertainer-cum-serious-businessman like SRK, you are in real treat of how he knows the tricks to magnet a movie to huge bucks. Great publicity, an android game, dedication to Mr. Rajnikanth and Tamil dialogues (ssshh... I just disclosed this movie's secret trade).
Overall surely a onetime watch for everyone, and for Deepika and SRK fans well number is not a constraint for you guys.
Dont watch this movie hoping of a jaw dropping story but watch it just to enjoy the moments of life and togetherness with that special one...
Lastly Eid Mubarak to everyone... Good Day aur duwaon me yaad rakhna.
