This movie looked very promising from the promos. It seemed like this movie would be an uplifting one and after watching the movie, I can safely say that it was.
This is a story about a woman, a housewife, a mother (Sridevi) who is constantly chided by her husband and her daughter for not being able to speak English. She felt as if she is unable to please her close ones with what she does. She runs a small catering business from home.
One day, she gets a call from her sister in the US to visit her as she needed Sridevi's help for her daughter's marriage. Sridevi would have to go alone to a foreign land (her close ones would be coming late). She is dreading her visit to US alone since she does not know English.
Once in the US, she is not able to communicate and gets a bit disheartened by it. Once while visiting a place in New York, she saw an advertisement on a bus about learning English in 4 weeks. She quietly decides to join these classes without letting anyone to know. The story is about how she gains her confidence back as she slowly starts learning and knowing how to talk in English. She practices her English by watching movie DVDs. Her sister's 2nd daughter finds out about this and encourages Sridevi a lot.
She surprises one and all at the end when she gives the blessing to the couple in English. This story is heart warming and shows how a woman is put down for something as small as not knowing English. She realizes that when you start loving yourself, you can spread that love to your close ones as well.
The movie is not extra ordinary by any standards but it makes you feel good, to see Sridevi regaining her confidence and resolve to overcome the odds.
