English Vinglish is all about the grammar of filmmaking

The noun (Any of a class of words naming or denoting a person, thing, place, action, quality, etc.)

The title, ‘English Vinglish’ reflects the relationship a copywriter shares with Angrezi. (Copywriter is a salesman in writing, as David Ogilvy would like to put it). It’s a language that’s more than just bread & butter for any copywriter – sometimes a boon and sometimes a bane, sometimes a muse and sometimes an abuse. So it’s indeed no wonder that Gauri Shinde, a copywriter at Lowe Lintas (Can we keep the ‘wife of Balki’ tag aside, please?), chose a subject revolving the Queen’s language for her debut film.

The preposition (A relation or function word that connects a lexical word to another element of the sentence, as to a verb)

English Vinglish revolves around the life of a housewife with weak English and strong determination. Sridevi makes a grand comeback with this heartwarming film and brings back the sheen of acting through a nuanced performance. Hadn’t it been for Sridevi, the role would have surely landed on the lap of Vidya Balan, simply because there’s a serious dearth of female actors in a crowd of ‘Darrrlings’, ‘Chamelis’, and ‘Halkats’.
