Now that the film has been released for 12 brilliant years, let’s remember the top 5 scenes of Deepika Padukone’s Meenamma.

Deepika aka Meenamma and Shah Rukh Khan aka Rahul’s iconic conversation song

The most beloved and memorable scene of the Chennai Express is when Deepika’s Meenamma and Shah Rukh’s Rahul talks in songs to dodge Meenamma’s Gunda cousins in the train. Deepika brings such a humor by singing famous songs in one after the other in that scene that it becomes difficult to stop laughter.

Deepika’s sleep-talking scene when she is in bed with Shahrukh

Deepika shows her tremendous comic timing in this scene, when Meenamma is in the same room with Rahul. As soon as she begins to sleep in a strange scary voice, Rahul gets scared. And then Meenamma suddenly kicks her down from the bed and drops it! Deepika’s perfect expressions and timing makes this scene one of the most fun and memorable moments of the film.

Meenamma and Rahul’s “Mundi Stir” scene

This scene of Chennai Express brings tremendous laughter, when Meenamma explains to Rahul – “If I say something in front of my father, then just shake the mundi!” After this, there is an atmosphere of laughter when Shah Rukh silently shakes his head, which starts a series of fun things and laughter, which Deepika has played very well.

The funny punch of Meenamma amidst emotional things – “Are you confectionery?”

In an emotional but fun scene, Rahul talks about his father, who used to run a sweets shop. When he proudly says, “Dont Undestemet the Power of a Common Man,” Then Meenamma speaks in a serious style, “You are a confectionery?” Deepika’s very straight but funny dialogue delivery makes this moment even more memorable, in which she keeps on teasing Shahrukh again and again.

Scene with ‘nonsense dictionary’ in the forest

One of the most memorable scenes of the film comes when Rahul insists on going to the forest alone. Meanwhile, she has a funny noise with Meenamma. When Rahul says, “There is no word like impossible in my dictionary,” then Meenamma immediately responds, “Where did you buy such a nonsense dictionary?” His funny wrangling remains a favorite of people even after 12 years today, and especially Meenamma’s style of saying “nonsense” still makes people laugh.
