The Chennai Express is a train, aboard which forty-year-old bachelor Rahul (
Shah Rukh Khan) travels under the pretext of fulfilling the last wish of a recently departed family member. It's there that he meets Meenamma (
Deepika Padukone), a woman who throws his plans, the fake one and the actual one, into chaos. The ridiculousness that surfaces therein isn't limited to the locomotive; it stays throughout most of the movie, much to my dismay.
When Dir.
Rohit Shetty lets a scene play straight, things go okay, which makes me think that I'd have enjoyed the movie that could've been, but I sure didn't feel that way about the one that it is. Although the beautiful locations, both natural and man-made, were a treat for the eyes.
