Shah Rukh Khan's much awaited Eid release Chennai Express co-starring Deepika Padukone is finally out! And the film certainly has the trademark Rohit Shetty stamp all over with car chases, jeeps blowing up, large groups of people accusing each other and much more.

The story is about a man's journey from Mumbai to Rameshwaram and what happens along the way after he falls in love with the daughter of a local don which eventually changes his life for ever.

Chennai Express from the beginning doesn't take itself seriously, and if you do the same you will certainly enjoy the ride! Packaged with witty one liners and just the right dose of jokes that go well with Shahrukh's comedy skills, this Express will certainly make you laugh on many occasions.

The film takes you through the scenic beauty of Tamil Nadu showing lush green farms and ponds which will definitely be cherished by Shahrukh's South Indian fans.

The most Interesting thing about the film is that at least half of its spoken lines are delivered in Tamil, but comprehending them is never a problem, thanks to the quirky explanation of dialogues by Deepika's Tamilish Hindi.

Though the storyline is not that great, the lively delivery makes up to some extent.

On the whole Chennai Express is a full on Masala film, and if you are seeking entertainment then "Get on the Train Baby!" By Sonam Kochar.
