He suddenly fell in love with her right at the end of the movie, no explanation given. The other problem with the story is that Rahul’s love for Meenamma was not convincing. The only difference in Chennai Express is that the boy is North Indian and he doesn’t even love the girl! And he can’t fight. The girl’s father is a big don and there is always lots of fights and blood spilling everywhere. Marriage is forced upon the girl and she tries to get out of it. Chennai Express doesn’t have a special story, it’s the same story found in every other South Indian film. I might be biased about Chennai Express because I have seen a lot of South films and I’m familiar with South stories and South Indian culture and accent. And there is no love blooming between them all through this time. Well that’s partly true, but they’re not alone on the train and then they get off the train even before the interval. So I thought that almost all of the film took place in the train and these two were traveling to the same destination.
It was revealed many months before that the film was about a a boy and girl travelling on the Chennai Express. It really wasn’t that great and I think the reason is the combination of poor story and performances. But still, I felt disappointed and a little bit cheated. I didn’t have specific expectations from this film, I didn’t think that it would be amazing or anything like that. The rest of the film is about how Meenamma and Rahul escape the wrath of Meenamma’s family and the marriage that is being forced on Meenamma. Somehow Rahul lands up in Meenamma’s hometown and Meenamma lies that they are lovers so that she can get out of an arranged marriage.
The film is about the by chance meeting of a Tamil girl (Meenamma) and a Punjabi boy (Rahul) on the Chennai Express. Chennai Express is a Hindi romantic comedy starring Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone.
