the audience applauded

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I think the movie had the excellent content which was based on a real story. Main actress had an outstanding performance. Beside, the scenery and the stage properties really made me amazed. This is the best film I have ever seen, and I got the motivation to study more English. I recommend that everyone should watch this movie at least once.

Shashi Godbole (Sridevi) is a homemaker who makes and sells sweets as a home-run business. Her husband Satish (Adil Hussain) and daughter Sapna (Navika Kotia) take her for granted, mock her poor English skills and generally treat her with disrespect, making Shashi feel negative and insecure. However, her young son, Sagar (Shivansh Kotia) loves her as she is, and her mother-in-law (Sulabha Deshpande) offers her words of sympathy.

English Vinglish is of course an amazing movie. The best performance of Sri Devi who just was remarkable. Being a housewife manages to handle the family and runs her own small business like she says- Cooking- selling, cooking-selling, small business in home. But her husband and daughter makes laugh of her English. This is what makes her disappointed. But after when she becomes capable of speaking English then she become confident. The best part is when delivers a speech in English as the test to get a certificate that she can speak English is awesome. And that time her husband and daughter realizes their mistake and give that importance and love which she deserves.

I have seen this movie numerous times till date but tonight while I was watching it again, I felt a sudden urge to write a bit about this movie.English Vinglish is one of the most original, priceless movies to have come along in the recent past.A very big salute to Gauri to have written such a script and for the way Sridevi acted in this film. I am spellbound every time I watch it. There are so many scenes, so many of them in which you will be amazed by Sridevi's expressions.Each and every time I watch it, I love it all the more. English Vinglish emotes numerous feelings: Its about the purest form of love- a mother has for her children. The way she hugs her kid, attends the PTA, does the michael jackson dance, cries on leaving her family back home while traveling to US. Its about fighting your inner fears. Its about respecting your mother and so much more.The entire cast of the movie was superb. Her family and the members in her English class, all were outstanding. Amit Trivedi's music was fantastic and complemented the movie perfectly. Some dialogues were quite impressive especially "When you don't like yourself, you tend to dislike everything connected to you. New things seem to be more attractive. When you learn to love yourself, then the same old life starts looking new, nice." That is what life is and couldn't have been put in better words.At the end the only thing I would like to say is that this movie is very close to my heart. Its one of the most refreshing movies you will ever come across and it will leave you with a big smile on your face. And lastly, she deserved the best actress award that year, every bit of it. I am not saying that others didn't deserve, but Sridevi's performance was at par with the rest. Till date whenever I watch this movie I feel extremely disappointed for her not receiving the best actress award for English Vinglish.
