Chennai Express (2013)
Chennai Express is streaming in India on Netflix.
The verdict
Chennai Express holds up as a perfectly decent Hindi film, if not a remarkable one. It carries a 6.5/10 on TMDB across 404 ratings — squarely mid-table. It clocks in at a standard 141 minutes. In India you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 2h 21m on it?
2h 21m of Hindi romance with comedy threaded through, not one for younger kids. A little over the usual, so start it earlier than you think.
- Why
- 6.5/10 from 404 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you want the central question to be something other than whether they end up together
- Best for
- A night you can give it your full attention
