Chennai Express is a programme presented as a movie. It falls squarely within the film genre and tells a self‑contained story centred on two protagonists whose lives intersect during a journey across India. The narrative follows Rahul, a young man who sets out with the solemn purpose of scattering his late grandfather’s ashes at the holy site of Rameshwaram. While on his way, he encounters Meena, a bride who has fled her wedding, and assists her in boarding a train. This act pulls him into a confrontation with the angry members of Meena’s criminal family. Rahul’s mission is driven by a personal duty to honour his grandfather, which leads him onto the rails heading toward the southern coast. The train becomes the backdrop for his unexpected involvement in Meena’s desperate escape, turning a simple pilgrimage into a high‑stakes adventure. Meena, described as a runaway bride, finds herself pursued by a family that operates outside the law. By helping her board the train, Rahul inadvertently incurs their wrath, setting up a clash that underpins the film’s tension. The story therefore hinges on his willingness to aid her despite the looming threat from her dangerous relatives.
