About moves : 

Director Rohit Shetty's broad comedy, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, is a welcome introduction for audiences new to the Bollywood genre.

The cultural --  and especially linguistic -- divide between North and South India goes back to the age of the Rig Veda, but as Rohit Shetty’s comedy Chennai Express demonstrates, the subject is still relevant today. In the right hands, it’s also rich fodder for comedy.

Chennai Express, starring Shah Rukh Khan as Rahul, a Mumbai singleton, and Deepika Padukone as the daughter of a Tamil Nadu crime don, opened on the holiday of Eid al-Fitr Aug. 8 on a record 3,500 screens in India and 700-plus screens abroad, including 196 in the United States, reportedly one of the largest global releases ever for an Indian film.

Khan and Padukone, reuniting after the memorable 2007 romance Om Shanti Om, are beautifully paired despite a 20-year age difference, while Khan’s gift for effortlessly moving between comedy and love scenes is complemented by Padukone’s striking beauty and comic chops. Rohit Shetty, the director of Singham and the Golmaal comedy trilogy, confidently packs this two-and-a-half-hour film with enough laughs to keep the pace brisk, but for a couple of interminable fight scenes, a staple of the genre. red more click hear
