Shashi (Sridevi) is a middle-aged Maharashtrian housewife who earns some money by making and selling sweet snacks (laddu). She is a dedicated homemaker who is taken for granted by her family. She is ridiculed for her poor English by her husband Satish (Adil Hussain) and teenage daughter. Shashi is the object of potshots by Satish, who has little respect for her real talent and Sapna, her 7th grade daughter who is ashamed to even introduce her mother to her school folks and teachers because her English is weak. However, her young son Sagar loves her as she is.
Shashi's sister, who lives in New York, invites Shashi's family to come to her daughter's wedding. It is decided that Shashi will go to New York alone to help her sister set up everything for the marriage. Her husband and kids will join her later when the wedding closes in. While Shashi is in New York helping at her niece's wedding, she secretly enrolls herself into a conversational English class that promises to teach the language in four weeks. The class comprises a Mexican nanny, a Pakistani cab driver, a Chinese hairstylist, a Tamil software engineer, a quiet angry African kid, and a soft-spoken French chef named Laurent (Mehdi Nebbou). Shashi quickly emerges as amongst the most promising and committed students in her class. In midst of all this, she also finds Laurent getting attracted to her because of her striking beauty.
tengok time dia tayang kat Coleseum beberapa minggu lepas....okay la filem ni....n Sridevi is very good....comeback dia kalahkan comback Karisma Kapoor dlm Dangerous Isqh tu katanya.....
aku suka tema movie ni..
very uplifting.. issue simple saja ttg kebolehan berbahasa inggeris..
tp relate dgn issue parent-children relationship, husband-wife relationship, self-appreciation, importance of family..
tak ler...
ak rase mamat yg berlakon jd Barfi! tu...

lebih baik diorg nominate filem ni rather than barfi! tuk oscar...
lps primer tu ari tu, org putih terus bg postive reviews...diorg tak pndg sgt Barfi
siap masukkkan lagi dlm "25 indian to watch"
agak2 sbb sridevi ke? atau sbb filem terlalu best?
