#CHENNAI EXPRESS ENG SUB MOVIE#
Once Rahul and Meenamma arrive in Kombam, the hitherto bad movie descends into perversity with an-asinine-antic-a-minute interspersed with cringeworthy dialogs and forgettable songs, ultimately culminating in a nauseating fight with soda bottles, sickles and food stoves between the giant Tangabali and the puny Rahul. Watching the gibbering Tangabali, played hopelessly by Nikitin Dheer with the perpetual demeanor of a homicidal maniac AWOL from the death-row of some notorious Indian prison, is intolerable punishment for tender souls. But why Meenamma is heading for her village, straight into the lion’s den, instead of picking a different destination is a question that would occur only to sane elements who believe in stuff like logic and reason. Before you can say Rajinikanth, our Rahul is in Kombam, the village where the girl’s father (played by yesteryear b-grade Tamil star Satyaraj) is the local Don.Īpparently, the girl is fleeing the orangutans dispatched by her father to coerce her into marrying a local ruffian Tangabali. Moments after Rahul steps into the train, Meenamma (Deepika Padukone) and a gaggle of simian thugs follow. The reasoning being that the water in Goa eventually reaches Rameswaram! It’s a miracle I still retain my sanity after watching this steaming pile of dung.Ī sophomoric romance that marries the worst practices of Hindi films with the garish excesses of Tamil movies, Chennai Express is a throwback to the rotten days when any Indian with a few coins jingling in his pockets would unleash some frightful bilge upon the public.Īt times, I wondered if director Rohit Shitty’s movie was some kind of parody.īut Shah Rukh Khan is no less culpable since he co-produced this pukeworthy trash.įollowing the death of his grandfather, Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan’s favorite alter ego) is entrusted with the task of immersing grandpa’s ashes in Rameswaram in the deep south.įorty and single, Rahul’s thoughts are far from ash immersion and more centered around immersing his beak into some nubile girl in Goa.īut at his grandmother’s insistence, Rahul promises to go all the way to Rameswaram though he’s furtively planning to dunk the ashes in Goa. Rahul couldn't get married to anyone because of his over-loving and over possessive Grandfather who cannot live without him.To hail Chennai Express as a movie would be an egregious insult to the entertainment form that daily gives joy to millions around the world.įolks, Chennai Express is a tawdry spectacle that only a crass Indian filmmaker would put out, only an aging Pakistan-loving Indian superstar would feature in and only a classless Indian audience with an abundant appetite for trash would delight in. Rahul plays a 40 year old bachelor who stays with his grandparents in Mumbai. She lost her mother when she was a child.



She stays in Komban village with her huge family. Meena is very fondly referred to as Meenamma by her loved ones.
