Why English Vinglish is the ultimate comfort movie

 Why English Vinglish is the ultimate comfort movie!

Some movies are like a warm cup of adrak chai on a rainy day—soothing, familiar, and always hitting the right spot. English Vinglish is one such masterpiece.
Whether you’re in need of motivation, a good laugh, or just want to watch a simple and cozy classical, this movie delivers every single time.
Here’s why we keep coming back to it like it’s our favorite cozy blanket.



Shashi Godbole = The OG Relatable Queen
Shashi’s struggles are so real. Who hasn’t felt slightly out of place in a fancy setting or been roasted for their English pronunciation? I feel you Shashi, I feel you. I also can't differentiate between AMERICANO, CAPPUCINO, LATTE!!
Watching her hustle to learn English while casually making
laddoos like a boss is
the kind of multitasking we aspire to.

The New York Diaries we secretly want
Let’s be honest: seeing Shashi navigate the big city with that desi swag
 (and Laurent lowkey simping for her) gave us all main character energy.
 "Her eyes are like two drops of coffee in a cloud of milk" So so beautiful.
 
I see what you see Laurent.
I literally smile ear to ear when the  “Shashi learns English” montage plays
 with that peppy background score.

The Most Wholesome Glow-Up Ever
Unlike usual Bollywood transformations, Shashi doesn’t get a wild makeover or a brand-new wardrobe. Her glow-up is all about self-confidence, and there’s nothing more iconic than watching her go from hesitant to absolutely owning her power.
By the time she delivers that speech at the wedding,
we’re all standing up and clapping like proud parents.
The way Shashi silently proves everyone wrong, with pure class and zero drama,
is just chef’s kiss.

Laddoos > Everything Else
Let’s be real, no one watched this movie without craving some homemade laddoos. Laddoos represented the simplicity in her life.
Even though she had a massive personality glow up, had the time of her life in New York, confidently made new friends,
(AURA ++++) she did not lose her connection to
her roots and her simplicity through out the movie.
Her determination to remake the laddoos from scratch after Sagar dropped them, showcases her deep passion for cooking.
"Apne favorite subject mai fail hoke, english mai pass ho gai toh kya?"
 Shashi wasn’t just making sweets, she was serving lessons in
 patience, passion, and pure love.

Moral of the story: If life gets tough, just make laddoos and book a flight to New York.
