Review:
English Vinglish, is a movie starring Shridevi and its her comeback to cinema after 14 years. The movie is about Shashi, played by Shridevi, who cannot speak English very well. She is ridiculed by her family for saying Jhaaz dance and not Jazz Dance. When she goes to America to help her sister with her niece’s wedding, she joins an English speaking class.
It was a different type of role for Shridevi. It was nice to see her any way. Her acting was marvelous, but her voice was slightly irritating. I think, it’s only Shridevi, who can wear a Sari in America and a long coat over it and still look good. The lines were quite funny. Especially when she question the teacher “Why India, not THE India? And Why America, The United States of America” and also when she comes in late and she asks Prof. David Fisher “Come in?” and the other dialogues to follow.
Mehdi Nebbou has also acted wonderfully in the movie. His role as Laurent was wonderful. Especially the scene where he gives her the crapes and calls it ‘French Ladoo’ was hilarious. His chemistry with Shridevi was just too good. Amitabh’s 5-minute role was also very fun to watch.
Amit Trivedi’s music in the movie was just amazing!! All the songs in the movie were good. I especially loved the song ‘Navrai Maajhi’. The movie ended on a sad but emotional note.
English Vinglish was fun to watch. It had great acting, great music, and great comedy and great story. Must watch for movie lovers!
Final Verdict:
7.5/10
