Review of English Vinglish (2012) by Deepinder S — 04 Nov 2012

Deepinder'sPerspective: The movie has an excellent couple of morales: Equality of sexes in a wedlock, overcoming your shortcomings regardless of age or other societal pressures, strength of character etc.

Now coming to the movie and its primary character Sridevi. The first half of the movie is a Drag unfortunately. The concept of a daughter disrespecting the mother is not naturally designed and appears exaggerated.

The second half of the movie is the USP of the film. In come a few characters that lighten up the movie's depressing first half through colloquial mockery. Sridevi has done a good job, however she seemed a shadow of the actress I've come to see over my years.

She felt restrained and conscious - probably thinking that some of the many plastics on her face or the brand new set of teeth might come off!! Unfortunately the delivery of the excellent morales could have had a better and entertaining capsule.

I wouldnt rate the movie higher than 6.0 stars and expect that rating from RT.
