Very inspiring. Teaches you to help yourself when you are down. Teaches you to love yourself. <3 A big thank you to everyone part of this movie for giving us this beauty.

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 VinglishHindi, 2012, 2 hr 13 min Genre: Drama, Comedy, Family Direction: Gauri Shinde Cast: Sridevi, Adil Hussain, Mehdi Nebbou, Priya Anand IMDb: 7.7/10English Vinglish is one of those films that you can easily watch with your family, that evokes some laugh and that leaves a pleasant feeling after watching. The story revolves around a typical Indian housewife Shashi, beautifully done by yesteryear star Sridevi, who is made fun of by her own family due to her lack of knowledge in English. She feels hurt in her mind but do not share her sorrows. As it is, she has to go for US to attend her sister's daughter's wedding. How would she cope in the US without proper English? The movie also shows the mature relation between Shashi and Laurent, who is a soft spoken French cook staying in the US. The story says genuine communication requires no knowledge of languages (maybe true, to an extent). The storyline is filled with clean humor. The family values of India are also highlighted. Director Gauri Shinde, who also has written the film, should be lauded.

This is fabulous movie. Its a feel good or rather I'd say an inspirational one. Makes one realize don't let your weakness get the better of you.Sridevi (Shashi) has performed remarkably well. Brilliant performance. The French guy, Laurent is adorable.All of us have known at least one 'Shashi' in life. This movie very subtly broadens your perspective on quite a lot of issues, like marriage, being able to speak English, and other things, without being too rebellious.I loved it, and I would recommend this is everyone.
