English vinglish tamil rockers4/1/2024 When she is termed an entrepreneur, the pride in her face is so marked. Though her voice is shaky at times and her age shows in her face, her emotive skills are first class. The movie is also an indication that urban Indian families are increasingly driven by English. But when she doesn’t get what she deserves in return, we naturally root for her big time. We empathize for her straightaway, thanks to the love and affection she showers on her family. The movie is feel-good to the core and inspiring thanks to the characterization of the protagonist. But this trip turns her entire life around and does she get the respect that she craves for and most importantly does she learn the all-important language? She goes there on her maiden solo trip with lots of self-doubt due to her lack of English fluency. Just then she gets a chance to go to the US for the marriage of her elder sister’s daughter. They are judgmental of her and believe that she is born just to make ‘laddoos’. She is a wonderful cook who runs her own ‘laddoo’ catering business but still she is looked down upon by her elder girl and husband because of her lack of English skills. English Vinglish is another such underdog movie where the lead is a typical Indian housewife (Shashi Godbole) living in Pune with her family comprising her husband, mother-in-law and two young kids. Underdog movies are always endearing because we have protagonists who are pushed to a corner and by the end of the movie, they prove their worth to the whole world.
