Speed is the perfect word that describes Chennai Express. It is fun and entertaining. The film has no time for dull moments, for it does not stop anywhere. I won't tell its summary or story. However, its one scene related to DDLJ's train sequence can't simply leave my mind. It's funny as hell with the biggest twist that no one ever thought of before. There you go, I said it. The movie actually has more twists and turns that consist of full on comedy. Even the scary villains showed it perfectly well.

Now here are the things that wowed me about the movie. Srk: His comic timing was marvelous. But even more than that I was impressed by the amount of hard work he did for the action scenes. Deepika: No one could do the character of Meena better than her. She truly now is a professional actress who does not need to hide her weakness with short clothes and makeup. The goondas: They did have fewer lines to say, but their expressions were superb. Without them, this movie would have been dull. Editing: It's of highest quality and very visible with all the vfx work. It proved that Bollywood is now progressing aggressively. Story: I did not want it to end. I am glad that Rohet Shetty gave time for the love to blossom between Srk and Deepika.

I will go to watch Chennai Express again and even buy the disc once it's available. Private movie collection would be incomplete without it.

After a long time, I watched something that has depth. I was quite disappointed by Yash Chopra's Veer Zara due to the fact that its characters and relationships were underdeveloped. But in Jab Tak Hai Jaan things are totally different. After watching it, I understood why Mr Yash Chopra was so satisfied with its content. I am not going to give the story here as I believe other users already talked about it here. So let me tell you about what I thought about the film.

There is a lot of emotion in the entire plot. It's very easy to sympathize with each character. Throughout the 3 hours of the movie, Yash Chopra basically shows different perspectives of love. But I do feel the ultimate scapegoat here has been Srk. There is not a single moment when tears won't fall for him. He gets played around in the beginning and then again after a few twists and turns, he is again the scapegoat. Performance wise, he is the best in the film. As for the other ladies, each is different from the other. One (Kat) is an intense believer of God. She is modern, but certain things which happen with her turn her outlook on life extremely conservative. Then there is Anushka who is way too open minded and treats relationships like products that once used can be thrown out. She is basically today's girl who likes to chase what she can't have while pushing away those who really love her. Kat's mom, Nitu Singh also has a short narrative love story. This is different from what is between Srk and Kat, but somehow is significant for the characters. The central theme for everyone though is love which brings changes to lives of characters in the movie.

I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone looking to feel relaxed while getting entertained. At least this year, it is the best that Indian film industry has come up with.
