This movie is one of my favorite Indian movies I've seen so far. Whether it's the storyline or the soundtrack, camera shots, singing and dancing. Still watching no subtitles non-Chinese.
The story is probably that shashi is a housewife, and it seems to outsiders that she should have a good marriage: her husband has a decent job, both children and a well-off family (my understanding). Just because she doesn't speak English very well, she will be laughed at by her husband and daughter. My sister, who's far away in New York, is marrying her daughter, so I invite her to help, and the five-week trip to New York kicks off (yes, it's mostly New York, not India).
Shashi, who first arrived in New York, saw the difference between Manhattan and India. Everything was so novel. However, the fresh goodwill didn't last long. He was rudely treated by the clerk in the coffee shop because he didn't know English well, and knocked over other customers' meals in a panic. At the moment when Xiaoran and panic escaped, the camera showed the revolving sky. You can imagine the shock Shashi felt in her heart at that moment. She must have never encountered it in all her life, and how familiar this scene is, it does not need to be foreign. Just a foreign land.
Shashi secretly signed up for an English speaking class, which only lasted 4 weeks. The students in this class come from different countries, and the same is the poor spoken English. In the class, there is a famous romantic French man who unexpectedly met in a coffee shop and bought her a cup of coffee, so the story unfolds slowly.
Once Shashi was walking with a French classmate and was seen by her niece, and only when she bumped into the story could she better promote the story. She encouraged Shashi to learn English and taught her the words judgemental that she did not understand. She took cover so that she could get out of class and call her classmates on the phone. She really liked this sunny girl.
About Shashi's husband, although he speaks mostly languages ​​I don't understand, from Shashi's expression, we can guess that she doesn't like to hear it. I don't know if they are engagement marriage (this kind of marriage still has a large proportion even in India today, it is gradually changing among the educated people, the society is always moving slowly) Personally I think he still loves himself more His wife's, but the expressions are different in different countries (is he more like our fathers or even grandfathers?). For example, after learning that Shashi went to New York alone, the whole family went to the mall to buy clothes and met the hugs of two female colleagues, which made Shashi dissatisfied, and before Shashi pushed his luggage in at the airport, he wanted to hug his wife, but was rejected (my Understand traditional Indian thought that it is still relatively rare for men and women to hug each other in public, so shashi is more difficult to accept). Look, he cares about his wife's feeling, but sometimes he can't get it. Shashi's heartfelt smile when he saw his classmates at the wedding. I believe he will be touched when he sees it. I believe he has not seen this smile for a long time. The reason is that Shashi's wedding speech has been very clear. I think he must be Shock arrived.
In fact, in the middle part, when looking at it, there is hope that shashi is with a French man. The ending was to return to India with her husband, but I have to say that this may be the most probable and best ending. Although love is easy, marriage is not easy, and Shashi understands this truth better than anyone else. Maybe she and her husband once had a passion, and as the years passed, the passion was gone. Who can guarantee that the passion will last forever if you change someone? (So, how to keep marriage fresh is an art.) Besides, in a marriage, passion is not enough. When it comes to real life, the trivialities of this place are the real test.
On the plane, my husband asked for an English newspaper. Shashi asked in fluent English if there was a Hindi newspaper. After getting a negative answer, she chose no thanks. An option, nothing more.
shashi is not a plus because her husband didn't do anything to hurt his family (for example, a wife in my country cheated on a scumbag during pregnancy, and he still gave him a dog leash) I know this sentence is controversial, but it should be placed in the environment of the character Look, in the context of the country in India, he didn't realize that this would be a kind of harm before, everyone is like this, and our country's scumbags still do it when they know that our country has zero tolerance and many lessons from the past. This is the biggest gap.
It's really a good movie, at least it touched me quite a bit. There is something new about marriage.

Attached shashi wedding speech to record what I heard,
this marriage is a beatiful thing, it is the most special friendship,
friendship of two people who are equal, life is a long journey,
MIRA, sometimes you will feel you are less, Kevin sometimes you will also feel you are less than MIRA,
try to help each other, to be equal, which will be nice.
sometimes, married couple don't even know how the other's feeling,
so how they will help the other, it meansmarriage is finished?
no, that is the time you have to help yourself,
nobody can help you better than you, if you do that, you will return back feeling equal,
your friendship will return back, your life will be beautiful,
MIRA, KEVIN, maybe you are very busy, but have family, son, daughter,
in this big world, your small little world, it will make you feel so good,
family can never be judgemental, family will never put you down, will never make you feel small,
family is the only one who will never laugh at your weaknesses,
family is the only place where you always get love and respect.

This actor's acting is so good, he is a fan
