Let me start by saying that I am no fan of SRK; just find him incredibly adorable in some scenes; and again as in JTHJ there is a reference, be it minor, to his increasing 'seniority'; though, of course, he 'does not act his age'; the initial scenes in the movie where he prepares to go to Goa and the ones in the train where he encounters the goons are unbelievably juvenile and cinematic.
Most of the time we see happy families speaking with a heavy accent and a liberal mix of Punjabi vocabulary in their Hindi in Bollywood movies. Chennai Express offers a refreshing change of scenario to beautiful Tamil homes and streets. In fact the movie itself has loads of dialogues in Tamil.
But what mars this beautiful change is Deepika's Tamil accent! Unbelievable! Infuriating!! Does this mean that all Tamilians speak Hindi with such an annoying accent?? Listen to Vidya Balan, Hemamalini - just two great actors I remembered from the top of my head! They speak Hindi more beautifully than many other native speakers of the language! Of course the Hindi that non- native speakers speak will have some remnants of influence of other languages but that is quite negligible. I think in Chennai express the 'accent' thingy is supposed to be a comedy in itself, but according to me its in very poor taste!
Chennai Express has some vibrant colors in it; breathtaking scenery ( for all I know could be graphics) but overall a good entertainer!
