Chennai Express First Promo Review



The first trailer of Chennai Express, the first movie of Rohit Shetty without his friend and star Ajay Devgn, was released today. The film, instead, stars Shahrukh Khan with Deepika Padukone. SRK is in dire need of a blockbuster today and Chennai Express might do the job for him. The trailer is not outright great, but it does hints that all the necessary ingredients like comedy, romance, emotions and action are in place in the film with typical Rohit Shetty flair. 

The trailer begins with a breathtaking shot of a train stuck on a bridge across a river in South. Shahrukh is a 40 year old man who witnesses a murder by the henchmen of Deepika Padukone's father and is taken to a village in Chennai where he rules. What follows is interspersed comic scenes where bickering between the two lead characters is shown. Thereafter the trailer shows few dramatic emotional scenes which is somewhat surprising since Shetty's comedy films generally don't have many dramatic moments. The actions scenes, as usual, involve flying and crashing cars. The trailer ends with the crashing of an SUV and then a line appears, saying all that we needed to know - Rohit Shetty Shtyle. 


The trailer is showcases all the important ingredients needed for a masala flick. Shahrukh looks good and Deepika is fine too. The timing of the release is Eid, an occasion which has rewarded Salman Khan with many major hits in last few years. SRK must be praying for a similar kind of success.
