CHENNAI BOX OFFICE

A leaf out of a housewife’s life, Gauri Shinde’s English Vinglish is a brilliant take on middle class aspirations about the English language with a brilliant performance by Sridevi.

After the above average opening, the Tamil version slowly picked up with increased collections whereas the Hindi version is an official super hit of the year.

It’s official: Sridevi’s comeback is hugely successful!

Sridevi’s comeback has had a mighty impact on actors who are waiting on the heels for their turn. Gauri Shinde’s screenplay and able direction see the move through.

The movie is making good business – much more than the direct Tamil ones, thanks to Sridevi’s star power and Ajith’s little presence.

The songs, the direction, the screenplay – everything works in the movie.

English Vinglish is directed by Gauri Shinde and stars Sridevi in a central character of a housewife and her attempts at learning the English language to cope up with her anglicized family.

The Tamil version slowly picked up and has now become a favorite among family audiences with multiplexes registering good attendance.

Despite a few signs of ageing, the graceful Sridevi’s acting skills haven’t diminished one bit.

In a mighty comeback, Sridevi takes over the film in a simplistic story of a housewife’s aspirations to improve her linguistics in a language that the world is increasingly cozying up to.

Though the opening day wasn’t phenomenal, Ajith’s cameo and the extremely favorable word of mouth pushed the movie’s prospects and it ran to packed houses over the weekend.

Sridevi’s comeback and Ajith’s entertaining cameo have garnered many eyeballs.
