Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
has
said
Gauri
Shinde's
debut
directorial
English
Vinglish
moved
him
so
much
that
he
was
left
in
tears.
The
film,
which
will
hit
theatres
on
October
5,
marks
the
comeback
of
screen
diva
Sridevi
after
a
gap
of
fifteen
years
and
also
has
a
cameo
by
Big
B.
"A
viewing
of
English
Vinglish
directed
by
Gauri
Shinde,
wife
of
R
Balki
tonight,
leaves
me
with
collective
lumps
in
the
throat
and
a
surge
of
flushed
eyes
near
the
tear
ducts.
"And
it
is
not
all
the
emotion
of
a
particular
moment
that
puts
one
in
such
state.
It
is
the
uncontrollable
effect
of
appreciation
that
prevents
one
from
expressing
any
at
all...," Bachchan,
69,
wrote
on
his
blog.
The
film
is
about
a
middle
class
housewife
who
enrols
for
an
English
speaking
course
in
order
to
please
her
husband
and
family.
"In
our
simplicity
lies
the
true
story
of
a
lifetime.
Massive
explosions
and
devastating
action
sequences
make
you
wonder
in
high
adrenalin
awe.
But
equally,
the
ordinariness
of
everyday
life,
strikes
many
strings
that
work
together
in
sympathetic
chords.
"...Many
do
it
with
the
ease
of
a
breath
taken
deeply
and
exhaled
with
silent
confidence.
For
me
that
was
the
moment
in
Gauri's
film
tonight.
It
said
so
much
in
so
little!!,"
added
Bachchan,
who
starred
opposite
Sridevi
in
'Khuda
Gawah'
(1992).
