Ayyo, Rama, what’s aappening?
"Not every Tamilian is characterised by forehead stripes, a fondness for idlis and an accent that appears to have been gargled through a mouth full of sambar." "But then, does every Punjabi male start to shake his shoulders to the sound of an off-screen dhol as a chorus bursts into balle-balle? Is every Christian father a cheerful lush who trundles off to a portrait of the Virgin Mary after proclaiming 'Hum God se baat karega, man'?"

A halo around male antics
By Chitra Padmanabhan - The Hindu, July 21, 2013
"There can be many reasons why Raanjhanaa is a hit, but clearly, none of them can be very comforting."

Redeemed by realism
By Anand Venkateswaran - The Hindu, July 21, 2013
"If box office numbers are anything to go by, the approval is not isolated. Raanjhanaa crossed Rs. 50 crore at the end of its second week. In a month, it had breached the Rs. 100 crore mark, making it the third-biggest release of 2013."

Crazy love in Banaras
By Swara Bhaskar - The Hindu, July 21, 2013
"Is Raanjhanaa the tale of an irrational, impassioned, obsessive lover, or thinly disguised male supremacist storytelling?" "A male-centric perspective? Yes. Politically incorrect? Indeed! Disturbing? Certainly! Emotionally compelling? Also! Misogynistic? I beg to differ."

The Mythical Madrasi
"Chennai Express is just the excuse for Shah Rukh to get on the train to somewhere South and just like a character yanks the chain and stops the train somewhere in the middle of nowhere (near an exotic waterfall because that’s where the mythical South for the cinema begins) the makers set the film in a mythical land in the middle of nowhere. Just about as credible as Priyadarshan trying to pass off Ooty as a village in the North in his comedies. The result: Chennai Express is as funny or cute as Joey’s French. Just like Joey Tribbiani (Friends) genuinely believes he can speak French and auditions for a French play, Shah Rukh and Rohit Shetty genuinely think they are showing us the South."
