English Vinglish

Money, fame & the ability to speak English. In India, these 3 factors play a huge role in how society judges an individual. English Vinglish was the spectacular come back of Sridevi. Co-starring a brilliant ensemble cast, it is the story of a woman who does not know English and is made to feel insecure by her family and society at large. The film is a light hearted yet touching and transformational journey of Shashi (Sridevi). Circumstances bring her to New York and an embarrassing and shattering experience caused by her inability to speak the English language, at a coffee shop, makes her determined to overcome this insecurity, master the language, teach the world a lesson on the way to becoming a self-assured and confident woman. Sridevi lives and breathes the role of Shashi in arguably her best performance on screen.
