Finding yourself- this is the message that resonated loud
and clear after I got out of the theatre having watched English Vinglish. No
one else can do it for you; you have to do it...it’s the minimum you owe it to
yourself. For Shashi (Sridevi), its English language that became the instrument
for getting back her self esteem and some respect from her family that tends to
take her love and care for granted and look down upon her for her inability to understand
English. Sometimes, it takes new people, a fresh life to make you see what
beauty and talents you hold when you start viewing yourself as someone lesser than the
world around you. Everyone has weaknesses; for some subtly wrapped and for some
glaringly evident; but it just doesn't matter! Respect yourself first and see the
world crumbling on your knees to do that to you! LOVED the spirit of the movie.
Not all of it was great but yeah it did leave me with some
beautiful thoughts and some eye tonic too ;) The French guy in the movie is hot.
The only good thing visually throughout the movie since the makers didn’t focus
much on the locations. Sridevi’s voice disappointed me; she never had that
command but her voice has lost that vivacity that was so Sri! It was too choked
even for the submissive and easily overwhelmed house-wife. Acting- she hasn’t lost
her spark but to do another film after this might just take some more hard work
from her. Right amount of humour and
emotions; though some tight pace would have nailed it for me.
One time watch; go have some good time with your family

Luv Shuv...Always!
P.S. What is with hot and gorgeous men being left to deal
with a heart that hurts? Such 'Khuda ki rehmat' don't nurse a bleeding heart and live with unrequitted love! That's not allowed and it's criminal to see them go wasted! ;) Seeing Damon Salvatore in Vampire Diaries and now this
French guy in this film made me question this. Guys; you MUST come to me; the
world doesn’t have the ‘Parkhi’ nazar to appreciate the kind of scarce beauty you hold!! What a waste of Nature’s bounty...some
people just have a problem of plenty and for some like me...whatever! :P
