Rahul (Shahrukh Khan) is a forty-year old bachelor and lives in Mumbai. Rahul's parents died in a car accident when he was eight years old and it was his grandparents who brought him up. His grandfather has a sweet-selling business - Y.Y. Mithaiwala - and he owns a chain of stores in Mumbai. Before his birth centenary celebration two of Rahul's friends suggest going to Goa for a vacation to which he accepts. Right before the birth centenary, his grandfather dies. His grandmother tells him that his grandfather desired to have his ashes divided into two parts and have one part of it immersed at Rameswaram. She requests Rahul to go to Rameswaram and immerse the ashes. Rahul reluctantly accepts her request. On the other hand he was eager to attend the Goa trip, so, he and his friends make plans to dump the ashes at Goa. But, they were forced to change their plan when Rahul's grandmother told him that she would be coming to see him off at the station. This forces Rahul to travel by train and he booked a single ticket on the Chennai Express. He plans to meet his friends after commencing the journey at the Kalyan Junction station from where they would travel to Goa by car. Right after commencing the journey from Mumbai railway station, when the train was leaving the platform, Rahul sees a girl running to catch the train. He helps her to board the moving train. Then he notices four men are also running to catch the train. Rahul helps them all to get in. He learns that those four men were actually kidnapping the girl whose name is Meenalochini Azhagu Sundaram (Deepika Padukone) aka Meenamma. She was trying to flee from a forced marriage to Thangaballi (Nikitin Dheer). Her father Durgeshwara Azhagu Sundaram (Sathyaraj), is a powerful headman of the Komban village in west Tamil Nadu. He wants her to marry Thangaballi so that he would assume control of the neighboring village as well. Meena takes Rahul to her father and introduces him as her lover. Thangaballi challenges Rahul for a duel. Rahul accepts without knowing what he spoke in Tamil. On the night of the fight, Rahul tries to escape with the help of a local Sikh policeman but in the turn of events, ends up in Komban village again. Surrounded by sickle-wielding henchmen of Azhagu Sundaram, Rahul then pretends to kill Meena and escapes in her father's favourite car. When the jeep breaks down, they decide to break up and go separately. But, Rahul not knowing which way to go, comes back to Meena who takes him to the Vidhaata village where a wedding was taking place. Meena lies to the people that they are a married couple and have eloped and needed protection. The villagers grow fond of the couple and take care of them as long as they stay while Meena realizes that she has fallen in love with Rahul. When Rahul has plans of leaving secretly, Meena does not want to earn the distrust of the affectionate villagers. As he tries to leave, he is caught by Thangaballi but the villagers help him escape again. Meena who persuades him to immerse his grandpa's ashes travels with Rahul to Rameswaram. There they complete the procedures and on their way back, Rahul, realizing that he has also fallen in love with Meena, chooses not to tell Meena where they are heading. He takes Meena back to her father again and tries to make him understand and honour his daughter's wish. He also confesses for the first time that he loves her too. Rahul tells Thangaballi and his goons that he has come ready for the fight this time. In the fight that follows, Rahul though severely injured emerges the winner. Meena's father and Thangaballi finally turn over a new leaf and accept that the heart of a common man like Rahul is much bigger than their physical ability and political clout. Azhagu Sundaram, allows Rahul to marry his daughter, the twist that changed Rahul's life forever. When they finally unite, the film leaves a message that love knows no barriers of region or language and that with a strong heart, there is no limit to what a common man can achieve. A man heading towards Rameshwaram via Chennai express to immerse his late grandfather's ashes unwillingly gets caught amidst goons after helping their boss's daughter and them board the train. A movie badly made bad in all respects, and has a poor sense of humor. The theme is so old , that of the tamil-Hindi cultural divide which has been exploited fully by many artistes before like Mahmood etc. This movie is supposed to be a big box office hit. That shows the sad state of Indian art. But somehow I can't believe this. I refuse to have such a low opinion of the Indian taste. I strongly suspect the media published figures about a movie's box office collections. I think the figures are fixed designed to show the movie as a box office hit though it may not even be a normal hit. The subject is outdated. Why can't the Bollywood come out of it's egg shell or is it just the problem of SRK who is out of tune. The movie's poor taste comes out in the form of showing the tamils in poor light. Who is SRK fooling? In the name of praising Tamils , he has caricatured tamils and ridiculed their culture. How could Rajni ever have blessed this movie? May be he just okayed without even crossing the movie titles. What nonsense? Tamils don't even speak Hindi like this anymore. BTW can SRK identify TN on the Indian map? Pathetic. Could not even bear watching this movie for more than 20 mts. What self righteous arrogance that this movie displays? I'm a movie-buff.I watch all genres of films.So, I'm all aware about masala entertainers.As a matter of fact, I like few of these.In festive season, We've always seen masala films doing the best business(this will not be any different).<br/><br/>##This review will neither contain any spoilers nor any fake remarks. In other words, this is an honest review##<br/><br/>DIRECTION:: Rohit Shetty's Golmaal & Singham was awesome.But unfortunately there isn't so much of Rohit Shetty marks in this particular film.<br/><br/>ACTING::Deepika Padukone's acting is awesome.Her expressions & comic timing was bang on.Shah Rukh Khan tried a lot & is succeeded in most of the scenes.But he is a much better actor than here in Chennai Express.(I missed the SRK of MAIN HOON NA in comic scenes,the SRK of RAB NE BANA DI JODI in romantic scenes & the SRK of Don in action scenes).The 'main villain' Nikitan Dheer is good but he had not given much of a chance as an actor(after he did an awesome job in 'Jodha Akbar).<br/><br/>PLUS POINTS:: DEEPIKA PADUKONE, GREAT BACKGROUND SCORE, CATCHY MUSIC & THE TRAIN SCENE.<br/><br/>LACKINGS:: STORY, ORIGINALITY, MISSING 'SHAH RUKH KHAN'.<br/><br/>Overall an average masala entertainer. Whether it's the wealth of meta-cinematic references to both Shetty's and Khan's other work, or the evolving romance between Khan and Padukone, or the handsomely mounted action, or the occasionally excellent songs, Chennai Express always has something up its sleeve. 6.
