FilmFare: Rahul ?@Itemboi
English Vinglish is a film dipped in honey. Charming and delightful. Emotions are beautifully underplayed. You'll walk out with a smile. Sridevi carries the film on her shoulders and is simply fantastic. You cheer for her from the first frame to the end credits.

@CilemaSnob
Guys,you (MAY) book the tickets for English Vinglish. Quite a charming, happy go lucky and slice of life film which is so rare in bollywood

English Vinglish: Sridevi is sheer magic even after 14 years of break watching her emoting on screen remains a delight.

English Vinglish is so charming'formulaic but feel-good. Has a big beating heart at its centre, and that's Sridevi, who's just terrific.
