Her daughter is also ashamed of her, trying to avoid her visits to school and prefers her dad. Her husband and kids are always affectionately making fum of her English and hardly ever take her seriously.
ENGLISH VINGLISH HINDI MOVIE SRIDEVI MOVIE
Sridevi asks her neice after watching a movie, “Does judgemental mean a mental judge? For which the neice explains that a judgemental person is one that comes to conclusion without proper evidence.Įnglish Vinglish is a movie about a 30 plus homemaker who is from a Hindi medium school/college. At one point she asks her teasing husband, (Adil Hussain) “Why, serious topics can be discussed only in English?”Īt another instance, director very craftily brings in the word judgemental. Many a times this message comesacross in Sridevi’s innocent questions. Hindi-speaking people almost always look down upon other languages in India. This is not just English Vs Hindi but also Hindi Vs regional languages. But looking down upon your own language only happens in India and among Indians. Like recently I went to Germany and if you speak English there they will just ignore you. It’s only in India that English is given such high visibility and respect. The knowledge of English need not be a measuring rod for intelligence. Shinde’s message is not that knowing English will liberate you. I haven’t seen a movie so intelligently and so originally weaved. The message is clear: Science based person is smarte than Arts based person. It’s not serious criticism but yet it hurts.
I have done masters in Journalism not in engineering. My husband often makes fun of me and my non-science based education. Very delicately, and more difficult, humorously, Shinde brings forth a strong message: language, education, geography or religion need not be a measuring tool for intelligence.
Her glamour sometimes outshined her acting abilities in films such as Himatwala and others such but in Sadma she easily stood her might with Kamal Hasan, even outshining him sometimes.Īlmost anyone can identify with this movie and not just a non-english speaking home maker. It’s common knowledge that Sridevi is a natural actress. Under the able direction of first-timer Gauri Shinde, who also comes across as a straight forward and no-attitude person, Sridevi’s acting abilities radiates even more brightly.

Unlike other co-stars who chose either glamorous (Madhuri, Karishma), or dark (Manisha Koirala, Juhi Chawla) roles, Sridevi chose to relaunch herself with an unassuming, sweet, non-english speaking yet intelligent and selfsufficient home maker.
