#Chennai express thangabali skin#
Meena makes a pact with Rahul to save his skin in return for his helping her to escape again. When Rahul becomes witness to the attempted murder of the ticket collecter, he is forced to travel with all of them back to their local village. As Meena annoyingly explains to him in a sing-a-long, that she was running away from a forced marriage set up by her ‘don’ father to a local ruffian Thangabali (Niketen Dheer) And that these four guys are her father’s goons come to take her back. Rahul doesn’t know yet but he has unwittingly got himself involved in some serious Tamilian s**t. The scene becomes downright hilarious, when to the music of DDLJ in the background, Rahul lends his hand to four guys running to board the same train as well. Before he is able to get off at the next station to meet his friends, he glances upon our heroine Meena (Deepika Padukone), who in a DDLJ-esque scene is running to catch the moving train and Rahul lends her a helping hand. And thus our hero boards the Chennai Express. Rahul grudgingly accepts, yet plans with his friends to fool his grandmother by taking a train supposedly traveling towards Rameshvaram. All that changes with the death in the family and Grandma telling Rahul that Granddad wanted his ashes to be scatterred in the waters of Rameshvaram, somewhere in Tamil Nadu (why? the subplot was not deemed worthy enough to be told). Rahul at the same time was in plans for a vacation in Goa with friends. Grand dad decides that 100 years is more then enough time spent on Earth and decides to kick the bucket. The one and only Shah Rukh Khan) is a 40 something bachelor, handling his grandfather’s sweets shop in Mumbai. Starting off with the story, our hero Rahul (do I need to tell who is playing Rahul? We all know only one actor has taken the copyright for this name.
Another thing I learned, if you drop your phone from a bridge it won’t be damaged if it’s Nokia Lumia 920 (Nokia guys, I would have believed that if the phone in question was Nokia 3310!). Perhaps you can buy it again, since you lost your previous one in Chhhennai Xxpress. BTW Shah Rukh, the price has dropped down to 26k now.
#Chennai express thangabali tv#
With actors openly promoting and spewing features about products, very soon we will have no use for tv ads. Shah Rukh quoted again and again, Rs 32,950 (or was it Rs 32,250). Coming back to that singular useful thing I learned from the movie, was the list of awesome features of Nokia Lumia 920 and its PRICE IN INDIAN RUPEES. Deepika’s one-liner translations were just not enough at times.
#Chennai express thangabali full#
All this is fine but Rohit, you could have put some subtitles at moments when full conversations were being conducted in Tamil. The one useful thing I learned from Chennai Express No, it was not my verbal knowledge of Tamil, although Rohit Shetty tried his darnedest best by having a 98% cast of Tamilians and also having them speak shudh (pure) Tamil without a syllable of Hindi. Starring : Shah Rukh ‘Baadshah’ Khan, Deepika Padukone, Nikiten Dheer (the absurdly tall villian) and a whole bunch of Tamilian baddies.
