Thor Freudenthal directed Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters 3D. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters 3D Movie Review brings into prominence that it is the sequel to Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief — both of which are based on Rick Riordan’s best-selling fantasy book series. Riordan’s action- and humor-packed tales are enormously popular with elementary-school readers, yet, like its predecessor, this big-screen adaptation does include violence and destruction-filled scenes (and a few presumed deaths) that could scare younger kids — even if they’re familiar with the story. Unlike the first movie, there aren’t any inappropriate references to sexy women otherwise relationships. Ultimately, this is a hero’s journey in which a main character along with his friends save each other and vanquish evil.

Story :

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters picks up a year subsequent to the events of the first movie, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, accompanying Percy (Logan Lerman) — Poseidon’s half-human, son of mythological being — living in Camp Half Blood with his best friends, fellow demigod Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario) and satyr Grover (Brandon T. Jackson). When a Colchis Bull breaches the protective barrier provided by Thalia’s Pine Tree (a gods-created tree that grew from the body of a dead young demigod), the tree starts to decay. Without the tree, anyone could enter Camp Half Blood and kill the demigods, so Percy, Annabeth, and Grover decide they must embark on a dangerous mission to the Sea of Monsters (the Bermuda Triangle) to find the legendary Golden Fleece, which has magical healing properties. Yet they’re not the only ones trying to find the fleece — the first movie’s villain, half-blood Luke (Jake Abel), wants it, too … to restore to life the biggest, baddest god of all , Kronos.

Analysis :

You possibly might already be knowing that Mount Olympus was the home of the Greek gods, yet did you know all you have to do is take an elevator secretly located inside the Empire State Building to get there? I was equally shocked to learn Medusa runs a greenhouse in New Jersey and lotus eaters have taken up residence in Las Vegas. Next thing you’re going to tell me is Hell is located in Hollywood. Wait… What? It is?

Based on the popular teen novels written by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is anticipating to catch on like Harry Potter at the theaters, so much so the director of the first two Potter features, Chris Columbus, duped Fox into hiring him for the gig. Nevertheless, Fox must have forgotten this was the same guy that directed I Love You Beth Cooper for the studio only a year ago, justifying his talents do have limits, as does the filmed version of Percy Jackson.

Telling the story of its title character, played by 18-year-old Logan Lerman — a gifted young actor who had an excellent turn in My One and Only — we learn early on Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon, yet as it turns out the Gods aren’t the stay at home type of parents and Percy has no idea who is father is. This origin story of sorts finds its footing as Zeus’s lightning bolt is stolen (not exactly sure how that happens), and the King of the Gods places the blame on his nephew Percy and has given him 14 days to return it or a war of the Gods will begin. Scary right? I mean, warring Gods can’t be good and it’s represented in the film by a big scary rain cloud (sans lightning of course). Viewing how the Gods serve as absentee parents, a magical training facility is set up in the woods for their half-human, half-god children (referred to as demigods) to bone up on their sword fighting. What they’re training rigorously to do is never mentioned, but I guess it doesn’t really matter since logic and story details have no real place here. To make up for it the story tries to move along fast enough so you won’t notice. So just as soon as Percy joins this band of forest dwellers it isn’t long before he learns Hades (Steve Coogan) has taken his mom (Catherine Keener) hostage, causing Percy to set off on the highway to Hell with his half-goat friend (Brandon T. Jackson) and the film’s young love interest (Alexandra Daddario).

All of this may sound delightful as well as entertaining in digital ink and after seeing a couple of trailers I expected it to be just that. Regrettably it’s just boring. Columbus’s direction of this picture is paint-by-numbers. Its only interest seems to be in getting into the core of ratings and doing it as quickly and painlessly as possible. Should the scene call for a big action set piece filled with CGI Columbus delivers it just as expected and as seen in any number of other films like it. Boring. While the idea of Gods and their children living secretly among us is a remarkable thought, this film is as straight to the point as it could be. It accepts its silliness, yet I can’t. Too much goes unanswered and what’s left is, for the most part, uninteresting. It all boils down to people battling CGI monsters or hurling CGI weapons at one another. So much money goes into the effects that the studio hopes you’ll forgive the plot holes. Even worse, outside of a rather cool water-logged finale the effects didn’t do much for me either.

Uma Thurman pulled off the Medusa role accompanying a satisfying bit of jeopardize and charm, but her head of snakes was a reason of distraction than making it impressive. Steve Coogan as Hades is inspired casting, and I got a kick out of seeing him in the role subsequent to realizing it was him, yet as the scene progresses he shifts into the passionate God to prove a point and all I could think was Wow, they just wasted a lot of money for a joke that wasn’t even funny. The entertainment factor in Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is shorter-lived than its long-winded title. The actors play their parts with such lacking liveliness enthusiasm it’s hard to ever get into the story, but perhaps that’s because there is so little holding the story together there wasn’t much for them to get excited about. I’ve heard the books are entertaining, good thing, due to the reason the movie’s not.

Final Word: Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters 3D Movie Review Now, coming to the factor that is it any good, Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series is beloved by both tentative readers as well as die-hard book addicts, so it’s a shameful that the movies based on his richly depicted demigod universe aren’t nearly as good as his fantasy novels. It’s not the cast, due to the fact that Lerman (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) is a terrific young actor — although at 21 he’s too old to play the teenage Percy ever again. That’s fine, because it’s unlikely the franchise will continue after such a lacking liveliness follow-up to the already less-than-amazing first adaptation.

There’s something remarkably telling about checking your watch several times during a movie that’s 107 minutes long. There are a couple of bright spots such as when Nathan Fillion pops up playing Hermes and makes an obvious Firefly joke about brilliant shows that are cancelled too soon, and the matchless Ron Perlman playing the voice of blind and starving cyclops Polyphemus — yet otherwise this entire quest is a rather epic disappointment lacking excellence of the Percy Jackson name. You might watch it, but suggested that you skip the adaptations and just read the excellent books. Now, it’s your go! I would rate this movie with 2. 5 star.

Get Information on Satyagraha, Satyagraha Movie Review, Satyagraha Hindi Movie Review, Satyagraha Review, Satyagraha Rating, Amitabh Bachchans Satyagraha Movie, Bollywood Satyagraha Movie Review, Actors: Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Manoj Bajpayee, Arjun Rampal, Amrita Rao, Directed by Prakash Jha, Cast and crew Details

• Film : Satyagraha
• Producer : Prakash Jha, Ronnie Screwvala, Siddharth Roy Kapur
• Director : Prakash Jha
• Star Cast : Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai, Amrita Rao
• Music Director : Salim & Sulaiman, Adesh Shrivastava, Indian Ocean
• Rating :
  3.5

Prakash Jha’s “Satyagraha” bears no resemblance to his previous political dramas nor does it entirely bet on Anna Hazare’s Jan Lokpal Andolan and it is certainly not a sequel to his last outing “Rajneeti”. Rather, “Satyagraha” is the director’s infallible attempt to capture the anguish of hoi polloi, beaten down by corruption and unjust system. It orbs around a movement initiated by the middle class Indians to hammer out a deal with the corrupt system and retrieve transparency in democracy. Prakash Jha spares none in this movie — everyone from the deceitful babus to unscrupulous politicians are brought to book here. An impeccably narrated plot, “Satyagraha” does borrow inspiration from a slew of real-life episodes — “the Anna Hazare movement, the murder of the whistle-blower who exposed the road mafia and the telecom scam, besides highlighting the police attack on public and the candle light protests”, but remains unbiased in its treatment. Realistic, hard-hitting and forceful, Jha’s new outing leaves a “hammer-strong impact”.

Story :

“Satyagraha” is the story of a Gandhian [Amitabh Bachchan], a go-getter industrialist who epitomizes the modern India shining philosophy [Ajay Devgn], a social activist aspiring to be a politician [Arjun Rampal], a gutsy political journalist [Kareena Kapoor Khan] and a foxy politician [Manoj Bajpai] who would stop at nothing to break the system.

Manav Raghvendra (Ajay Devgn) is a highly ambitious Delhi based entrepreneur who runs a telecom company. His towering aspirations exposes him to the brutal realities of Indian politics and nepotism. Balram Singh (Manoj Bajpai), a conniving politician, wrecks his ideals and ambitions, and wrongly frames him in a tele scam.

Implicated of double-crossing and killing his morals, he loses the trust of his ladylove Yasmin Ahmed (Kareena Kapoor Khan) and Dwarka Anand (Amitabh Bachchan), his ideal and a school principal.

Devastated, Manav decides to hit back at the corruption and launches a protest that soon turns into nation-wide protest supported by Yasmin, Dwarka and Arjun. From here flags off a massive movement to mow down the corrupt system and derail the government.

An unsullied mix of emotions, drama and political satire, Jha’s laudable attempt to fit a gigantic act into a cinematic jar is commendable.

Analysis :

For Jha, the veteran of political thrillers, executing a plot as such with aplomb is certainly a child’s play. The movie is strewn with several episodes that not only instils anger and disgust for the system, but also keeps you hooked up all throughout.

Brownie points to Jha for deftly including songs in the narrative, with ‘Raske Bhare Tore Naina’ [Aadesh Shrivastava] and ‘Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram’ [Salim-Sulaiman] jazzing up the goings-on. Sachin Krishn’s cinematography frames the anger and angst with precision. Dialogues are biting, bitter and absorbing.

Performance :

“Satyagraha” is bedecked with ingenious, real performances. Devgn is the body of “Satyagraha” while Amitabh is its soul. And Bajpai is its ‘satanic temptation,’ doling out a smooth performance, hair-raising in its perfection. Amitabh Bachchan articulates the movie’s philosophy – “Janta sarkaar ki malik hai. Malik nirdesh deta hai. Maang nahin karta.”

Mr. Bachchan stands unparalleled in yet another stellar performance, one of his bests in the recent times. Ajay breathes fire into the tale poignantly. Kareena is matchless in her role of a strong, fearless journalist. Arjun too delivers a towering performance that shows that the actor has truly come miles when it comes to his caliber. Manoj Bajpai is diabolical and ruthless to the hilt, sashaying the evil streak flawlessly. Last but not the least, Amrita Rao impresses in a noteworthy role, and leaves a strong impact.

Indraneil Sengupta cameo is impressive. Vipin Sharma and Vinay Apte are top notch. Mugdha Godse , Manoj Kolhatkar, Ajay Trehan, Shireesh Sharma, and Girish Sahdev add to the film with their competent performances.

Final Word: Satyagraha Movie Review To cut the long story short, Prakash Jha’s “Satyagraha” is an engaging, compelling socio-political drama that gapers the stark reality around us. Yet another laud-worthy addition to Prakash Jha’s impressive repertoire, “Satyagraha” will go down in the history of cinema as a politically momentous motion picture. This hard-hitting fare is a must-watch!

Story :

The Light: Swami Vivekananda (2013) film captures the noteworthy life of Swami Vivekananda. The film beautifully showcases the transition from young Narendra Nath Datta to world preacher Swami Vivekananda. Accompanied by various events from his life commencement from childhood days to meeting with the mystic saint Ramakrishna at Dakshineswar, Vivekananda’s travel to Northern India, travel to the West (America, Europe), meeting along with Sister Nivedita, and his works in India have been captured, thereby building his journey from being Narendranath to Vivekananda through various phases.

Analysis :

The film The Light: Swami Vivekananda (2013) furthers showcasing again that some films are still made in Tollywood, which do not get any exaggerated publicity, yet are good works of art in their own right. If we are able to recollect Egaro as well. Nevertheless, in this case, the director has been blessed with a script that leaves little scope for going wrong. Accompanied by the evidence of the former existence of the life of Swamiji, is a lifetime opportunity of playing with innumerable emotions on screen, along with amazing people who had co existed at one point in history. There remains a fortune of going overboard otherwise not emphasizing sufficiently important moments, fortunately that has been neglected in the film. The film takes us through the landmarks in Swamiji’s life, yet does not reside for too long in any one particular incident.

Performance :

The film The Light: Swami Vivekananda (2013) opens characterized by the incident where a young Bile throws out clothes to the needy from his window. It genuinely gives us a feel of the things to come. Biswanath as Bile’s advocate father has done a good job, as is regarded as likely of him. Even though there are a few lack of consistence. Why the Hanuman Chalisa would be sung in Maithili in an out and out Bengali household? Afterward Gargi, who is still understandable as the young Ma Sarada, looks exactly the same even after Ramakrishna’s death, even when Swami Vivekananda is dying. Basic make-up could have taken care of it. Deep, is a perfect fit for the role of Swamiji. Accompanying large penetrating eyes and a good enough range of emotions, he has tried his best to be Swamiji on screen. His frustration trying to find a job subsequent to his father’s death, his helplessness when the Universe is revealed to him by Ramakrishna, his sudden outburst of anger at Khetri Royal court, is good work. In fact we also liked his offensively familiar way when initially he is sceptical about Ramakrishna’s being an ascetic. Yet his hindi is really not good, and he should have worked on it. As well as when two iron wills meet, in the US during his encounter with Rockeffeler, or when advising Jamshedji Tata on board the ship, he is not very convincing. Adorned in his outward appearance gifted by the Maharaja of Khetri at the Chicago speech, Deep has looked as much as he could like Swamiji, but alas, it is not his fault that such a magnetic speech can never be reproduced on screen.

Premankur as Thakur Ramakrishna has appeared as well played the great sage to the hilt. The typical position of fingers during bhab samadhi, otherwise his toothless smile, are good examples of acting. One small hindrance is that the man is too healthy to be an ascetic suffering from cancer. We had seen this earlier when Mithun had played Ramakrishna. In Hollywood, the actor would have probably gone on a diet subsequent to shooting. Special mention must be made of Archita Sahu as Moina Bai. When Swamiji calls her mother and blesses her, the wonderful range of emotions, fear, devotion, respect as well as bliss, has been done marvelously by her. The music by Nachiketa as well Dr. Haricharan Verma is undoubtedly good, to emphasize the song Tumi hriday nadi along with the title track.

Final Word:There shouldn’t be any doubt in the fact that this film even though not stressed towards any specific group in society otherwise people, yet would be appreciated and justified by the different minds in the society. The point to emphasize here that everyone wouldn’t feel comfortable watching it not because it’s not a typical subject of romance, but because it has got highest degree of depth about swamijis life. The matter of fact that everyone must watch this film along with their families for the special reason that it’s genuinely a great opportunity for millions to experience the great swamiji and get inspired by his powerful words! I am a follower of his philosophy and I pray him everyday. I feel we must know thoroughly about the great Swami Vivekananda, a Hindu monk and thinker from West Bengal who elevated India’s spirituality on the international forum. I rate the film The Light: Swami Vivekananda (2013) with 3 star. Don’t miss this opportunity, get inspired!

• Director : Shoojit Sircar
• Star Cast : John Abraham, Nargis Fakhri, Rashi Khanna…
• Music Director : Shantanu Moitra
• Rating :
  3.5

Madras Cafe Movie Review Gritty, sombre, and explosive political thrillers aren’t really among Bollywood’s strengths. So when a hard-hitting, fast-paced and riveting espionage thriller like “Madras Cafe” hits the screens, it certainly singles out as an unqualified triumph. Blending facts with fiction with aplomb, Shoojit Sircar’s largely understated “Madras Cafe” smacks down all the run-of-the-mill militaristic machismo and genuinely captures the unexplored genre of political drama in Hindi cinema. Certainly one of the finest thrillers to be ever made!

What a brave feat for the makers — Shoojit Sircar and John Abraham — to explore an unchartered cinematic territory with this film that is devoid of any over-the-top Bollywood cliches and commercialism, unlike their previous outing together “Vicky Donor”. The movie, apparently blows the lid off the actual Lankan ethnic strife, which many of us were too young to know or react to, then. The political drama underscores India’s ambiguous role in the war, inching sensitively without taking sides, and bringing to light the conspiracies and compulsions that plagued it. It’s edgy and disturbing at the same time — a rare combo for Bollywood potboilers. The movie certainly deserves laurels for rhonesty of intent and holding its own. To quote a critic, “Madras Cafe deserves an audience.”

Story :

The brave plot orbs around a conspiracy that connects the assassination of a pacifist ex-Prime Minister to the dirtywork of giant corporations and foreign agencies, who are out to undercut the subcontinent.

Major Vikram Singh (John Abraham), an Indian Intelligence agent is sent on a undercover mission to Sri Lanka. As he kick-starts his operation of disrupting a rebel group, he makes an alarming discovery: a conspiracy to assassinate the former Indian Prime Minister.

Once in the territory, he joins hands with colleague Bala (Prakash Belawadi) to get Anna Bhaskaran (Rathnam), head of the rebel LTF group and make him come to a peaceful resolution. Vikram knows Anna will be a huge challenge – what surprises him is how many others he must face.

The first half of the movie is neatly layered into complex trails – leaks, foreign interests, domestic rivals – the stumps Vikram. As RAW honcho Robin Dutt (Siddharth Basu) exerts pressure, Vikram moves fast through sultry, dangerous airs. His foreign journalist friend Jaya (Fakhri, apparently playing real-life journalist Anita Pratap, who first interviewed LTTE chief Prabhakaran) knows this conflict’s heart even better than Vikram, who assist him in making some spine-chilling discoveries.

What follows next is Vikram’s brush with gun-toting ultraists who deem themselves as revolutionaries and hatching a dangerous conspiracy to kill an important Indian leader with a human bomb.

Analysis :

Somnath Dey and Shubendu Bhattacharya riveting screenplay laced with Juhi Chaturvedi’s gripping dialogues builds-up and lays out a complex network of inquiry, motives and ideology.

The political drama moves at a breakneck pace post interval. Chandrashekhar Prajapat’s crisp editing unravel the episodes with fascinating ease. The background score by Shantanu Moitra enhances the sublimity of the movie.

The best thing about the film is that even when characters suffers personal blows, Madras Café doesn’t halt for melodrama. The no-song-and-dnace movie is gorgeously shot (Kamaljeet Negi).

Performance :

John Abraham comes up trumps with “Madras Cafe”. Cast against type, the actor pitches all his strength in giving life and honesty to his character of an undercover espionage who loses more than he gains in the line of duty.

Nargis Fakhri, playing a journo, bags yet another stellar role with the movie, and quite surprisingly, takes long strides as an actor here.

Debutante Rashi Khanna makes an impact in her short but significant role as the army man’s betterhalf. Although, she doesn’t get a chance to flex her potential as John Abraham’s young wife unlike Nargis here.

The rest of the characters – secret agents, commandos, extremists, and bureaucrats – play identifiable figures and complete the canvas.

Final Word:This credible and convincing movie is a must-watch because it offers you a neutral insight into an exceptionally pertinent episode of history. If you like typical Hindi masala movie, over-the-top action and melodrama, “Madras Cafe” is not for you. Try not to miss it if you like sensible cinema!

Story :

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara! is the story of an underworld don, Shohaib (Akshay Kumar), who killed his mentor in the past (Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai) to gain supremacy and is now the ruling mafia king. His influence and power has spread right up to the Middle East, today. Shoaib is now a flamboyant, suave man who is feared and revered. Shohaib’s only confidantes are his best friend Javed, who oversees his empire for him and his former lover Mumtaz (Sonali Bendre) who is now his closest friend.

He often visits the poor Muslim areas where he grew up and it is on one such visit that he meets Aslam (Imran Khan). He takes him under his wings and gradually Aslam becomes one of his favourites. Shohaib wants to gain full control over Bombay and this is met with resistance from two existing ganglords – Vardha and Arun. Vardha and Arun join hands with a cop – Sreenu, whose only purpose in life is finishing off Shohaib’s reign, for which he gladly joins hands with the ganglords.

While Bombay continues to be the object of their fancy, Shohaib stumbles upon a young actress – Yasmin (Sonakshi Sinha). He is immediately taken in by her freshness, beauty and candor. Slowly, but surely his attraction towards Yasmin goes onto becoming an obsession. This creates a rift between Shoaib and Aslam and results in the ultimate showdown between the mentor & protégé.

 

Analysis :

 

 

There are very few euphoric moments in the film partly due to the reason of its lazy writing that is carried out rather shakily, and rest because it doesn’t meet the standards set by its colossal predecessor. I can almost count the number of times I felt that ecstatic high inside me during the film. There are dialogues put in which make no sense and some are actually offensive to your gray cells without being remotely entertaining.

The film’s first part has a few good moments but nothing that the trailer hadn’t shown you. A few brilliant action scenes in the first half are done fabulously. There is a scene where Akshay and Imran leap off from one terrace to another, and that is perhaps the only place where the film shows some panache of what it had attempted on. The romantic angle was overtly done and somehow doesn’t have the required blaze.

The chemistry between Sonakshi and her actors is not fabricated neatly and somehow it comes across as a shock when she declares her love for one and rejects the other! The screenplay had barely given any tender moments or delicate minutes of love and hence romance obsession seems quite out of the blue. The film fails to be a proper crime thriller or a love saga as it dismally flops at both doing absolutely no justice to either.

 

Performance :

 

 

Akshay Kumar is so sleazy that he will crack you up with his dialogue delivery. It is outright hilarious. The actor fails to add depth in his character and couldn’t infuse charisma or persona in a role that Emraan Hashmi had immortalized. This Shoaib can at best manage to be a mock don but his over the top acting is such a flop show!

Sonakshi Sinha goes wrong every time she is in a commercial film. One can be rest assured that her performance in Lootera is a fluke or a mere shadow of director’s flawless cinematic abilities that he could extract such a wonderful performance from her. In this film, she is a chatterbox replete with idioticity which the director frames as naiveness. She shrieks as if possessed in the climax scene as bombards all her good, if she had done any.

Imran Khan is plain flat with nil emotions in his dialogues. His trying-too-hard-to-be-suave act will leave you yawning and doesn’t help in furthering the impression we have of him-his inherent inability to act. He could have done so much with the role but alas he painstakingly wastes every bit of it. There is only one solid scene that the director gave to actress Sonali Bendre and she was brilliant in it. She was the only one who delivered her role in a compelling and convincing manner.

In few minutes, she added depth to her character and managed to convey the emotional wreckage Shoaib’s love had caused her! The supporting cast is needless and have nothing substantial to do. Mahesh Manjrekar’s odd gestures and postures was a pain in the genuine sense of the word.

 

Final Word:Once Upon A Time in Mumbai Dobaara screams to Bollywood to do away with its ridiculous trend of Dobaara films simply because this time the Dobaara was painful on its audience. I am going with a generous 2.5 for its novel concept which was built flimsily. I was left dumbfounded at how audaciously the film spends so much energy flaunting nothing that they give its real theme a miss! It is hard to point out whom to blame, yet the bottom line doesn’t change – you can easily miss this one and save yourself a headache. Now, it’s your choice!!!

Story :

Little did the 40-year-old Rahul know while boarding the Chennai Express that this trip would prove to be the most eventful journey of his life. Even in his wildest dreams he couldn’t have possibly though that wooing the doe-eyed Meenamma on train in “Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge”style would land him up in deep mess. But what he deemed as the biggest mistake of his life, soon turns out to be life-changing for him. SRK revives ‘Rahul’ albeit in Rohit Shetty ‘ishtyle’. It all starts after Rahul boards the Chennai Express where he meets Meenamma, the daughter of a powerful South don (Sathyaraj), who takes the train to flee from her imposing dad who wants marry her off to a villainous fiance whom she doesn’t love (Nikitin Dheer). What unfolds next is a spate of uncanny but extremely funny situations that sees them fall in love in the most bizarre way.

Analysis :

Chennai Express is an out and out entertainer, a cheeky masala fare that packs is loads of fun. Cashing in on the tried-and-tested mantra of love triumphing against all odds, Chennai Express offers colossal doses of fun. It leaves you guffawing, beaming, and jaws-dropped throughout. At no point, does the film lose its steam.

The action is terrific, especially towards the end. The power-packed duel between SRK and Nikitin gives the film a much-needed punch. The stunning cinematography deserves a standing ovation and Vishal-Shekhar’s very,very massy number just adds the right amount of zing to the movie. The “lungi” song in the end adds as icing on the cake. Not to miss Sajid-Farhad’s belly-bursting dialogues that never fails to tickle.

Performance :

SRK shines on as Rahul, full of life, humor, emotion, action and humor. Rohit drags SRK out of his comfort “romantic” zone and gives his character a comic wash laced with mind-blowing action stunts. SRK is a total surprise here. Deepika Padukone is a revelation in the film. The actress has surely come a long way with Chennai Express. Her diction is so entertaining, it will leave you delightfully amused.

Sathyaraj as Deepika’s authoritative father, puts forward a powerful act.. Nikitin Dheer’s towering presence adds a lot of weight to the movie. He looks just every bit menacing in his ‘Thangabali’ avatar.

Final Word:

Chennai Express Movie Review is yet another feather in Rohit Shetty’s cap. The movie lives up to its colossal hype and hoopla.

Entertainment truly can’t get bigger than Chennai Express. All the lovers of masala movies, board Chennai Express pronto!
