Plot[]

Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain is the story of Yashwant Batra (Sanjay Mishra), a man who believes that expressing love is not a necessary requirement of a married life, a viewpoint that is not shared by his wife Kiran (Ekavali Khanna) which ultimately leads to their separation. And how he wins her back with inspiration from his young daughter Preeti (Shivani Raghuvanshi) & his happy in life Son-in-law Jugunu (Anshuman Jha).[4][1]

Development[]

According to director Harish Vyas, the idea to make this film originated at a dinner that he was having with his married friends where they were sharing the stories about the incidents that culminated into their marriage. While interacting with his friends, Harish realized that he had no such anecdotes from his premarital life, his being an arranged marriage. The director says that, "These are important and special moments. I realized that these are moments that one actually creates. They don’t just happen. And it is never too late to create them in your relationship."[5] This incident propelled Vyas and Aryan Saha to write a film about a married man who is unable to express his love in the way his wife expects him to. The director believes that the story of Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain is a reflection of almost all marriages and says that "most men of my generation struggle to express their feelings. It is particularly evident in middle class families. There is an immense struggle to just say I love you."[5][6]
