Chennai Express
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...has the trademark Rohit Shetty stamp all over.
-
...a magnificently mounted film.
-
The director folds in the massive stars, the hit music, the humour and an immersing story situation to bring you a fairly entertaining ride.
-
It has all the ingredients -- big star cast, drama, action, comedy, songs, the car chases and the big finish, all delivered in Rohit Shetty's unapologetic ishtyle.
-
The script might be totally devoid of common sense, but to give the due credit, Shetty’s typical flippity, casual humour and innovative action sequences, keeps you thrilled and involved in most part of it.
-
...a full-on masala film that is completely unapologetic about its intentions. And that is its USP.
-
...a loud and crazy experience, so what if you might just forget all of it even as you hit the exit door after the show.
-
The laughs came intermittently through the first half, and I was still sitting in my seat at the interval. And then it turned into the same old story: the plot, which was thinner than a self-respecting wafer to start with, just gives up and dies, and the lead pair, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone stop talking to each other and begin posturing.
-
...evokes a few laughs but otherwise it decides to shift tracks from droll comedy to dreadful drama.
-
Board Chennai Express at your own risk.
-
...is not unrelentingly laugh-worthy, but it’s still good enough for a relaxed, pleasant evening.
-
...or what it's wroth watch Chennai Express if and only if you have conceded that you have nothing better to do.
-
The filmmaker Rohit Shetty does the same and keeps up with the tradition of blowing up cars alongside infusing ample action in this comedy.
-
An individual opinion in such critic-proof films is like a smashed up secondary car in a Rohit Shetty convoy: it amuses momentarily.
-
This is neither trademark SRK material nor regular Rohit Shetty action-comedy. Chennai Express is like a ’80s Tamil potboiler reworked with a Hindi cast. It has a unique new flavour.
-
It's a big, fat bore.
-
...a slog.
-
It calls for no cinematic celebration, nor does it leave you with any major complaints and grievances.
-
...is unfunny and probably one of the weakest Shah Rukh Khan films.
-
Single screen humour!
-
Shetty never lets it rip. He is content with doling out a festive season timepasser, which is the solo release for the Eid weekend and has been plastered across so many screens in the country and the world that its success is guaranteed.
-
By the end, the hollowness becomes too glaring to be covered by Shah Rukh’s presence or Deepika’s charm.
-
...a very dull film.
