A memorable movie by Gauri Shinde, that has brought back Sridevi into the limelight. The Tamil version has also positioned Ajith in a remarkably different avatar in contrast to his serious ‘suited’ look in movies like Billa.
English Vinglish has exceeded expectations and garnered decent returns. It’s still running in a few centers.
Unanimously positive, all the way.
