Shashi a middle-aged Maharashtrian housewife. Shashi may be weak at speaking English, but that doesn't deter her from being the wonderful mother, loving wife and doting daughter-in-law. However, her husband Satish Godbole and her daughter never appreciate her efforts and are rather embarrassed of the fact that she can't speak English. Her son Sagar although does play mama's boy-cum-khabri, snitching on his teenage sister every now and then. Shashi runs a small business from home. She makes won derful ladoos (something which her husband takes huge pride in, albeit with a touch of con tempt) and sells them around the locality. Al ready saddened by the behaviour meted out to her, she has a higher mountain to climb as she has to travel all the way to New York to help out her widowed sister with her daughter Meera's wedding. It is at New York where Shashi, who finds herself completely alienated in a country where knowing English is considered a 'must, realizes that she will have to fend for herself and learn the language. So, she ends up at a 4 week class where she meets people who come from completely different backgrounds (African, Spanish, French, Chinese and Pakistani), all of them with a common grievance - they don't know English. The film traces Shashi's journey through these 4 weeks as she learns lessons far more significant than just English!
