1. English Vinglish
Written and directed by Gauri Shinde, English Vinglish is a 2012 comedy-drama film. Starring Sridevi as Shashi Godbole, this movie takes us on a journey of empowerment. Shashi, a small business owner who sells laddoos, enrols in an English-speaking course to stop her spouse and daughter from making fun of her poor command of the language. Gauri Shinde, who draws inspiration from her own mother, does a fantastic job of capturing the stigmas and assumptions that the majority of mothers face.
2. Paa
Inspired by the 1996 Hollywood film Jack, Paa is a movie about the relationship between a boy with a rare genetic condition called progeria and his parents.

You and your mother will go through a rollercoaster of emotions as you watch Paa.

Based on the true story of Aisha Chaudhary, who had pulmonary fibrosis and severe combined immunodeficiency, The Sky Is Pink follows her parents, Aditi and Niren, as they navigate their marriage and their daughter’s illness.
