Sridevi in English Vinglish
Hailed as Sridevi’s comeback movie, English Vinglish is the story of a talented, middle-class woman who is not conversant in English. This makes her the butt of jokes in her family.

One of the highly anticipated films of this year, marking the return of Sridevi after a 14-year sabbatical, English Vinglish also features French actor Mehdi Nebbou, Adil Hussain, Rajeev Ravindranathan, Sulabha Deshpande, Priya Anand, and Sujata Kumar along with a memorable cameo by Amitabh Bachchan. The musical score by Amit Trivedi adds to the mood of the film with various tracks.

Produced by Eros International in association with R Balki, the film released across more than 1,000 screens worldwide on 5 October 2012.
