it was stupid yes, But RNBDJ worked at the BO big time

It was a massy film

and thats what SRK needs right now

He has to maintain a BB streak to reclaim his throne truly

I wish SRK would stop working with his friends like KJo, Farah, Adi and try working with other directors. :( Look how great CE worked out when he worked with someone new like Rohit!

What Lifetime Collection needs to be for Chennai Express for Theatrical (HIT, Super HIT, Blockbuster or All Time Blockbuster) -

ATBB (All Time Blockbuster) - 200 cr nett+.

Blockbuster - 140-190 cr nett.

Super HIT - 125-139 cr nett.

Clean HIT - 115-124 cr nett.

OFFICIALLY A BLOCKBUSTER!! 🥳...BOI is 145 cr.. while official figures are 156 cr..😳

Hellooo🤗

OK ..Finally...watched Chennai Express today🥳...and my stomach still hurts because I laughed so much...The movie was a riot...⭐️

First of all..i have to say..that the movie is not a typical masala movie...Its a mix of Shahrukh's style and Rohit Shetty's style...There was a very balanced mix..of romance, comedy and action in the movie...and perhaps this is one reason that the movie is such a huge hit...because it has something both for the classes and the masses...There were hilarious dialogues...I simply loved the hints Rahul and Meenamma gave to each other by singing ...it was something new and will be copied a lot in future...I loved how the references from old Shahrukh movies were used and rightfully so...Shahrukh has 20 years worth of awesome movies...its justified tht he used most of the references from his own movies...although the chinta ta chita chita from RR was hilarious😆

Yes the acting of Shahrukh was a little OTT in some places...but it was expected...because this movie was neither a CDI nor a Swades...Good actors have to ADAPT themselves according to the genre...

The kicking scene was hilarious...and SRK looked so cute everytime he was scared of someone..

Acting wise...Shahrukh is an amazing actor so no complaints ...😆...He looked young, fresh and cute..

Deepika has improved so much as an actor and OMG...is she gorgeous...the Indian look totally suits her...Her dialogue delivery, comic timing, beauty...everything is perfect...She is now one of my favorites besides Vidya and Katrina...I loved the chemistry she and Shahrukh share...👍🏼

The locales where the movie was shot were just beautiful...I think South India is just naturally beautiful...

The songs looked so good on the big screen with all that surround sound...and so colorful as well...although I don't know why they cut parts of some songs😕

Some people said that they did not understand the Tamil dialogues...Well...it was because...Rahul was telling us his story...We were supposed to understand ONLY what he understood...right😆

As far as disrespecting South India , its traditions and languages go...I didn't see any to be honest..

The only part that I didn't like was the fighting and blood and gore in the climax...I do not enjoy such scenes in general..so didn't enjoy in this movie also...Other than that...I loved the movie...Its a great movie to watch with family...there is no vulgarity, to inappropriate dialogues...even the one item song...can be hardly called an item song...😛

Definitely going to buy the DVD of this movie whenever it is out ...and watch it again and again😆🥳

Aditya Chopra is a TERRIBLE writer. Period. His only good work is DDLJ and even that the writers of the film like Honey Irani accused him of not giving them enough credit. Mohabaatein, Rab Ne had their share of loopholes, though yes they worked...and let me not get started on those other films he's written like JTHJ.

GAHHH. I just knew Adi, Karan all would come back now. Next nightmare is Karan's next SOTY film. 🥱

Btw, here's the link to where SRK said Aditya is working on a project for SRK. Its at the end.

But critics praised OSO and MHN too...and I mean critics like Masand, Raja Sen. Were they just nicer back then? They praised SRK in JTHJ...and before that in MNIK, Rab Ne.

I get his predicament and you're right...and look what CE's done, if he doesn't beat CE's record with his next film, it will be an "underperformer"...the stakes are way too high for them..& SRK has way too many detractors, perhaps more than anyone else (or so it seems to me maybe b/c I notice more with him) just waiting to pull him down. But just see if CE can get to this level, then where will SRK take a film like CDI today with the way the market's grown? It had exceptional WOM. Aamir took a 3I to 202 4 years back. I guess we could probably get near 300 with the kind of universal WOM 3I had today..SRK is essentially still scared b/c Swades, Paheli flopped some 10 years back and he doesn't see/realize that audience taste has changed since then too. 🥱 ...and his way of selecting scripts is so wrong too -__- "just tell me when to show up" for all his friends. W*FFF! I don't care if the guy is Vishal Bhardwaj but read the damn script or get a narration. For CE he got a proper narration & then decided to do it...result is there for us to see box office wise. I don't even know the last film of his that he got a narration for/read the script. Whattt a wasteee.
PS. Sorry I'm just super mad about Aditya news right now because I just know SRK is going to do that film.
