After releasing in Hong Kong, Bollywood actor Sridevi’s comeback film is showing in the European country

A dubbed version of Bollywood actor Sridevi’s comeback movie English Vinglishopened in as many as 90 screens in Germany on June 29 (Thursday). BollywoodLifehad first reported that the film will release in Hong Kong in March and then in Germany in May. The movie was highly appreciated in India and some international destinations when it released in 2012.

Produced by Eros International in association with R Balki, the movie marked the directorial debut of Gauri Shinde, who hopes the movie will do well in Germany.

“I am extremely happy that English Vinglish is spreading across continents. In my last visit to Berlin, the response for the film was overwhelming during a festival and now I look forward eagerly to the countrywide response,” Shinde said in a statement.

Its producers too hope that the “global triumph” of the movie continues. “We are confident of opening up further new avenues for exhibition,” said Pranab Kapadia, president (Marketing and Distribution), Eros International.

English Vinglish is the story of a middle-class woman Shashi Godbole, a character essayed by Sridevi, who is skilled at many things except the English language. Her husband and daughter often bully her, but she emerges strong and takes up the challenge of learning the language while on a trip to New York.
