Chennai Express: Movie Review by Aparna Vashisht

"Come, Fall in Love" in Rohit Shetty SHTYLE !!!

For once, I am actually very happy with the way a movie is marketed. There is no misbranding here. An SRK starrer romance & a Rohit Shetty action-packed comedy. Put these two together and what you get is 'Chennai Express'.

But, I must confess that I was the least thrilled by the trailer of Chennai Express. I expected it to be another loud, irksome comedy. In other words, a total disaster like 'Tees Maar Khan'. In fact, even a few minutes after the movie started, I was fully convinced that all I am going to write in this review is bad stuff. But the fact that in next few paragraphs you are actually going to read a lot more positive stuff means that somewhere down the line the crazy mad comedy wins over and manages to tickle one's funny bone.

Agreed, that its a "logic put aside" film but its a thorough entertainer. You should not expect anything substantial in terms of story as Rahul & Meenamma themselves sing their way to the glory warning us of this "Kahaani Bedhangi"!

Yes, you have SRK introducing himself as "Rahul, Naam To Suna Hi Hoga" for the umpteenth time, making the girl fall in love with him on an adventure trip of its own kind when she is already engaged to someone else, singing & dancing to the tunes in his signature King Khan step. Throw in some Rohit Shetty trademark action sequences, cars in hues of pink & orange blowing off in the air and a funny script. 'Chennai Express' offers all of this and a lot more.

More?

Deepika Padukone! She is such a revelation in 'Chennai Express'.

Ready Steady Po Meaning

Did you Mean: Ready Steady Go

Well, that's what Google used to say until a few days ago. Before that, it used to straight away send you to the meaning of Ready Steady Go, thinking you typed a letter wrong.

And of course, Google is never wrong. ;) Yes, Po is Tamil for 'Go', and hence, Ready Steady Po means nothing other than Ready, Steady, Go. That is the reason Rohit Shetty has made it the catch-phrase of his movie, as the bike, that is, Chennai Express, will be run saying 'Ready Steady Po'.

Want an added meaning? Po-da is one of the most common phrases in Tamil, where da doesn't really mean anything, and the phrase would translate to something of the sort as 'Hey go man!'

Bol Bachchan Meaning

Bol-Bachan or Bol vachan actually, is a term that is generally used for the intellectual 'gyaan' given by yogis, babas, and such ascetic people, many a time in a sarcastic sense.

However, Rohit Shetty is making a movie called Bol Bachchan, starring Abhishek Bachchan and it's notable that the spelling of the Bachan part goes on to be the same as that in the name of the actor.

Literally, and separately, bol and vachan are two words with the same meaning 'something that is said, or spoken.'
