Chennai Express (2013)
Directed by Rohit
Shetty this film stars Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. An
unmarried 40 year old gets on a train and ends up kidnapped along
with a mobster's daughter who is facing an arranged marriage she does
not want.
Ending up as something
of a mixed bag this film mashes up Rom-com, action comedy and screw
ball comedy into a film that is a bit long and often not as funny as
it should be. There are some hints at something more beyond the basic
plot with a lot of the comedy based around the language differences
in India and the idea of India as a nation of different peoples. The
editing is really slick and the cinematography is full is amazing
colours but at times over sentimentality is used like a sledge
hammer.
4/5
