Watch Chennai Express Online Free Full movie

Chennai Express, starring Shah Rukh Khan as Rahul, a Mumbai singleton, and Deepika Padukone as the daughter of a Tamil Nadu crime don, opened on the holiday of Eid al-Fitr Aug. 8 on a record 3,500 screens in India and 700-plus screens abroad, including 196 in the United States, reportedly one of the largest global releases ever for an Indian film.

Its broad comedy will appeal to wide audiences, and first class box office returns are expected. Although the film serves as a charming introduction to audiences new to the Bollywood genre, those well studied in the history of Shah Rukh Khan movies will be most rewarded, since the screenplay (Yunus Sajawal) and songs (Vishal-Shekhar) make dozens of references to his earlier films.

The trend of South Indian films being remade in Hindi, such as Ghajini, Wanted, Policegiri, Bodyguard, Force and others, has opened up a new appreciation in Bollywood for the relatively more garish, colorful, noisy style from down South — complete with slow-motion explosions and comical scenes punctuated by (superfluous) sound effects.Perhaps the best approach is suggested by one Indian commentator debating the topic on a popular film site: “This film is for having fun only.”
