There are a number of people who are struggling to speak English fluently. Every non English person feels left out at some point in time for lack of English knowledge or right usage of a phrase. Not being able to speak English is perfectly alright actually. We have seen that in our families itself few aren’t comfortable with the language so what’s the big deal in that? English Vinglish portrays the daily struggles of a humble housewife and how she manages to make tables turn with her grit and determination to overcome the English phobia and also show her critics that she's no less than anyone.

4. Monalisa Smile

We all love Julia Roberts. Don’t we? That woman, God! Monalisa Smile is indeed a amusing and touching film. You will feel connected to the lives and struggles of every character in the movie and Julia Roberts truly instills all the emotions in you. In earlier times, girls never took education as their priority and in the middle of all that, the bold Julia Roberts was doing her best to enlighten the girls about the prospects and possibilities of acquiring an education.

5. Erin Brokovich

Being a single mother and the struggle to keep the family intact is in fact a tough and emotional journey. Also, in the process of keeping her family together, that single mother is trying to find her passion. Julia Roberts shows dedication towards both her job and family and the entire journey is inspirational. She simply puts men on the backseat and the entire storyline is sure a thing to watch.

6. Queen

Kangana Ranaut proves that a girl can touch the sky on her own. This movie will inspire you in ways you can’t even imagine (an honest word from anall time ‘Queen’ fan). Marriage is not the end of the world as there’s so much more to discover. The heartbroken Kangana sets out on a journey to find her life and realizes the joy of living life at one's own terms. From the wedding malfunction to a lonesome honeymoon trip, she does it all. The ‘Gujariya’ girl breaks a few hearts but does it to save her own.
