Chennai Express is a depiction of one man’s journey from Mumbai to Rameswaram and the adventures that follows in between. The movie derives its name from the train ‘Chennai Express’ which the main protagonist boards and the series of events which takes place in his life forms the basic plot of the movie.
The film is about a 40 year old man called Rahul who is tasked by his grandmother to immerse the ashes of his grandfather as per his wish, to the holy waters of Rameswaram. He takes the ashes from his grandmother and leaves Mumbai in Chennai Express with the intent to un-board at next station, and to head Goa instead. However, life takes a u-turn as he extends his hand to a south Indian damsel Meena who is (presumingly) in distress, helping her to get into the train in an attempt to woo her in the trademark DDLJ style.
What follows next is the hilarious journey of Rahul into Komban village in Tamil Nadu, the area which until now remains unexplored for him, amongst the creed of people which until now remain stranger to him, with the language which until now remains alien to him.
The film is a roller coaster ride with some of the breath taking visuals which is meant to entertain viewers. There’s nothing much in the story but the treatment and delivery of the package makes it a fun to watch. This will leave you laughing, smiling and whistling & will emerge as a total paisa vasool entertainer but in Rohit Shetty Ishtyle!
Board this train to a romantic action adventure from the director who just know how to entertain a common man. Right from the time you board the express, it warms up quickly taking you to the fun ride with some of the exotic locales of south India and breath-taking views of mountains, rivers & greenery. This is a total masala entertainer which doesn't require the toiling of your brain cells.
If logic and reasoning is something you indulge to seek, you might just give this train a miss; but if it’s just entertainment, entertainment and entertainment you are looking for then...ticket khareed ke, Beth ja seat pe, Nikal na jaaye kahin Chennai Express!
