The main plot is quite common: "Rahul embarks on a journey to a small town in Tamil Nadu to fulfill the last wish of his grandfather: to have his ashes immersed in the Holy water of Rameshwaram. En route, he falls in love with the daughter of a don (gangster). As they find love through this journey in the exuberant lands of South India, an unanticipated drive awaits them." But the magic in the film is an excellent acting by Deepika Padukone and Shahrukh Khan. Finally we have a director who wants his actors to act and not to just hang around. Chennai Express is basically comedy film which has action scenes. And even the action scenes has lots of comedy in it. For people who have seen many Bollywood films, specially Shahrukh's ones, the film offers bunch of inside jokes. The movie also has lots of jokes which just continues and continues.. and just when you think how long they're going to lengthen the joke, there will come another one. And it works!
Here's one example of one joke which continues thru the film. If you don't want to be spoiled before seeing the movie, I suggest not to watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al-Vt6SgdpQ
The first half of the movie is action comedy, (more of comedy than action) and there's only one dance scene. After the Intermission the movie starts very slowly, having lots of romance, drama and finally it turns to violent action (which is quite common in Bollywood). On the second half of the movie there's couple really beautiful musical scenes which has been shot and edited nicely. Nowadays it's rare to have a film which has lots of good songs in it and this film has it. Well, I like the songs of Chennai Express, they are catchy and make you smile.
So if you want to be entertained, this is your movie! :)
Here's a review from Hollywood Reporter and Zeenews.

Make sure that you get a proper seat to watch it, last week it was disgusting as the organizers overbooked and made to sit on the walkways with bad chairs.. and also the movie is total shit.. No worth watching in a movie theater giving 17 euros.
I was there too and I saw how many people there were. That's why the organizers are having this new show that everyone can get to see it. They weren't expecting so many people wanting to see the film.
I like the movie and I think most of the people in the audience liked it too. :)
What I've been talking to the organizers the film cost a lot to bring to Finland (thousands of euros) and including the rent of the theater they had to ask 17€.
