Chennai Express is a story of Rahul (Shahrukh Khan) who embarks on a journey to a small town in Tamil Nadu, only to fulfill the last wish of his grandfather to have his ashes immersed in the Holy water of Rameshwaram. En route, he meets a South Indian girl (Deepika Padukone) hailing from a unique family down South. As they find love through this journey in the exuberant lands of South India, an unanticipated drive awaits them. What follows is a series of adventures where he finds himself in estranged situations, challenged with an unfamiliar language! Chennai Express is an action packed romantic journey.

Ready steady Po!!
If you are a Shahrukh khan fan and have seen a lot of his movies, this movie is the one to see!!! It makes a ton of referrences to his previous movies and will have you cracking up from the get go!! The story goes a little long in some parts and is very fantastical but who's looking for reality here!! In some scenes they sing instead of talk to fool the bad guys and you'll be loving it when you recognize the songs, i thought it was a good way of spinning a new twist on some classics!! Deepika was stunning in this role and almost outshines shahrukh (if that's possible) ... If you like them masti and masala with action and cars blowing up you'll love it!

Shades of DDLJ
Just love the references to DDLJ at the railway station and the way the score is adpated to the 4 cousin brothers ... I laugh whenever I see it ... of course Deepika's acting compliments SRK's and is reason enough to watch this movie

The Surprise Was on Me!
I first saw this in a theater and hated it. Endless sound tags to SRK's old films, wild overacting by him, dialogue jokes predicated on differences between Hindi and Tamil that I couldn't understand (I am English-only)...and unmemorable songs.BUT! After a long dry spell of seeing no new Hindi films, and being a big SRK fan, I decided to buy the film and try again. Revelation! I LOVED it! The color is enough (in a happy way!) to make your eyes bleed! It's exuberant! SRK's acting is NOT overblown, but correct and apt, and merely suitably farcical as called for. In much of the film, notably the 2nd half, he's quite himself, and excellent as usual.I liked Deepika a lot. She has grown greatly since Om Shanti Om. Her beauty, grace, subtlety, and sense of humor are all on display here.The songs are appropriate and quite enjoyable, IMO. And all those old-movie tags I hated? MY bad! I "got" most the 2nd time around, which, as intended, only made the movie richer and more enjoyable.Chennai Express has gone 'way up on my list of SRK-starrers. I'll certainly enjoy it multiple times hence.

I Love This Movie!
I watched this movie twice in theatre and waited for the dvd to be released so I am excited about finally getting it. Shah Rukh as always was great in it. I love the music and dancing scenes especially. Thank God for Subtitles! This is one of my favorite Shah Rukh/ Bollywood movies. But my very favorite are these:My Name is KhanDilwale Duhania Le JayengeOm Shanti OmKal Ho Naa HoDonDon2Billu BarberRab Ne Bana Di Jodikuch Kuch Hota HaiDevdasChalte ChalteSwadesParadesChakde!

Chennai Express (SRK)
Shah Ruhk Khan is my number one favorite Bollywood actors. He is talented, versatile, entertain-able, shy and sexy to boot. The characters he portrays are fantastic because you can relate to them and to the situations that are plotted in these movies; and most times you also can a dose of wittiness. I would recommend them as family entertainment. I can honestly say that 90% of films where Shah Ruhk Khan is acting can be seen by the whole family including children of all ages.

SRK at his comedic best
Saw this film on the big screen, and can't wait to own it. SRK was at his best--making fun of his image as a 'big screen lover', his past roles and just about everything about him. This film pays homage to many of his past films as well as Shetty's prior films. Deepika and SRK's chemistry is still there from prior films--and they mesh so well together! This a fun movie that will cheer you up! A must have for any Bollywood or SRK fan!

Good Purchase
This is a really fun movie that my little sister and I enjoy watching over and over. The DVD came in great condition and this was a great purchase! Fans of Shahrukh Khan and Bollywood may enjoy the references this movie makes to past films he has been in but people new to Bollywood movies may enjoy the comedy, music, love, and action that this movie has. It is a great introduction to Bollywood and a fun movie for fans!
