Thappad - One act of violence brings into sharp relief all the fissures in the relationship of husband-wife and the uneasy, imbalanced power equation that exists between them

Bubbul - The horrors of patriarchy outweigh the horrors of the supernatural, and in some ways, the former leads to the latter

Queen - A cathartic coming-of-age tale, where a rejected bride-to-be embarks on a journey of self-discovery

English Vinglish - Learning a new language becomes a metaphor for shedding the burdens of patriarchy

Haven't watched the first two so I have only two options 😆

English Vinglish it is for me👍🏼 There's something about the movie which attracts me❤️ also Sridevi looked so subtle and beautiful in it

Queen too is good👍🏼

I agree, English Vinglish is a gem of a movie❤️


I've watched it 5 times already, and I never get bored. Sridevi is just too good in it, it's like she IS Shashi, I see no traces of Sridevi but the way she has essayed the character is just so layered and wonderful!

I would have included Lajja (2001) but the tonality of that movie is problematic for me

I liked everything about English Vinglish except the ending.

Yeah the ending kind of defeated the very purpose of the movie.

I have not yet seen Thappad or Bulbul.

Queen and English Vinglish are super close. But I pick English Vinglish because of Sridevi's performance, the overall story, and having an older married woman as the protagonist. I would genuinely love to see movies with older women in the center and talented actresses never having a shortage of roles no matter how old they are.

Queen is a lovely film too in its own right.

Bulbbul, as good as it was is not in the same league as the others.


English Vinglish, Queen and Thappad are elite level cinema.


EV for me is Top 10 of all-time. Thappad is the best film I've seen in the last 2-3 years. Queen is amazing but sadly I have avoided watching it again recently because I can't stand the lead actress, what to do.
