OMGGG Chennai Express is such a nice movie. I just returned from a preview screening, not a minute of boredom or where I felt like 'OMG finish the stupid movie'. Nice, clean, un-adulterated comedy, and a complete family entertainer. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I haven't enjoyed a SRK film since 2007, baring Don 2. Now I can proudly say my King Khan is back. 😛 Deepika Padukone is a revelation, she has been surprising me all year. I liked her as Veronica, liked her a bit more in YJHD but she's really surprised a lot in Chennai Express, I totally love her now. 😳 And she has a wonderful voice, and a fabulous comic timing, and she's drop dead gorgeous. Love you Deeps <3 I'd be surprised if she doesn't bag Best Actress-popular this year 😳
I honestly didn't expect such a balanced, sweet love story from Rohit Shetty, he appears to have handled the love story aspect of it pretty well, and thank god for minimal fighting scenes and clean comedy. The cinematography was good as well, especially during Kashmir Main Tu Kanyakumari song.
I don't wanna say too much about the film, I'll just say go for it. It's not your typically intelligent film, but it is not an no-brainer, no way. It's somewhere in the middle, and if you like love stories, and nice clean laugh out loud comedies (which are hard to find these days) then I'd say go for it. It's worth your time. (:
20 screens across Australia, my local cinema has 8 shows per day, 4-6 shows on average across the country. The preview screening i went to had about 300 out of 500 seats filled which is great for a Bollywood movie. The audience was literally roaring. I'm going again tomorrow to give my friends an Eid treat, the movie definitely has repeat value, and we Aussies are definitely going again. 👍🏼
4/5 from my side. ❤️
