Weekend fun: 'English Vinglish'-inspired nostalgia

Enjoy some of the best scenes from 'Mind Your Language' and 'Zabaan Sambhalke'

Weekend fun: 'English Vinglish'-inspired nostalgia

English Vinglish releases today and according to IMDB, it's the story of "A belittled and insecure Indian housewife enrolls in an English language class". While we're yet to catch the flick ourselves, the theme brings back memories of two epic shows that used to come on Indian television - Mind Your Language (in the 1980s on Doordarshan) and Zabaan Sambhalke (that used to come on DD Metro in the 1990s).

Here are some memorable scenes that we found on YouTube

 

And of course, here's the promo of the movie; early reviews of the movie seem to be encouraging.
