★★★★☆ (4/5) for pure entertainment value.
This is the unavoidable, problematic core of Chennai Express . The film’s primary source of humour is the "alien-ness" of Tamil Nadu. The goons speak in comically accented, grammatically broken Hindi. The local don (played brilliantly by Sathyaraj) communicates entirely through a translator. The name of the village is a string of unpronounceable consonants ("Kasi Kasi... something"). The "Muthu Swamy" jokes land with the subtlety of a speeding train. chennai express movie in hindi
