English Vinglish Movie Review Simple, Engaging and Witty

English Vinglish would be a special movie really for many who were youngsters in the 1980s and 1990s. The reason is that, the movie’s lead role is performed by yesteryear actress Sridevi, who is always considered as one of the most successful heroines in Indian cinema industry. The charisma and the fan base that Sridevi carried along with her was emphatic during that timeline, and till date no other actress has cast that magical spell in the minds of their followers. However, returning to the cinema industry after fifteen years, Sridevi’s role is not just the usual commercial one. Her role is so intelligently written by director Gauri Shinde that goes hand in hand with the plot of the movie perfectly.
