English Babu Desi Mem is a romantic drama film that came out in 1996. The narrative is based around the life of an Indian man named Vikram Mayur, who was born and raised in London. As the story begins, Vikram is a successful businessman who owns a chain of businesses in England. He leads a luxurious lifestyle and has everything he could ask for, but something is missing. When his aunt calls him back to India to attend his cousin's wedding, he meets a beautiful girl named Gori.

Vikram falls in love with Gori, who is a middle-class girl living with her family in India. However, Gori's family is very traditional when it comes to relationships and demands a dowry from Vikram in order to let him marry their daughter. Vikram agrees to pay the dowry and Gori's family accepts him as their son-in-law.

The newlyweds return to England and start their married life together. However, things take a turn for the worse when Vikram is diagnosed with a terminal illness. To ensure that Gori is taken care of after he's gone, Vikram comes up with a plan to create a surrogate father for himself in India.

He writes a letter to Gori, with instructions on how to find the man who will act as Vikram's father in India. This man is actually Vikram himself, disguised as a typical Indian man named Hari. Vikram pretends to be Hari and travels to India to meet Gori and her family.

As Hari, Vikram faces new challenges and learns more about Indian culture. He also learns to appreciate and respect his roots more than ever before. Meanwhile, Gori misses her husband and is unaware of the fact that Hari is actually Vikram.

The movie takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as Vikram tries to live his life in India and Gori tries to cope with the absence of her husband. Eventually, Gori arrives in India and the truth behind Vikram's identity is revealed.

The film has some great music tracks, including several catchy and upbeat numbers. Shah Rukh Khan and Sonali Bendre deliver good performances, although the plot itself is somewhat over-the-top and may not be relatable to some audiences.

Overall, English Babu Desi Mem is an entertaining movie that explores the complexities of love, relationships, and cultural differences. It showcases the challenges that arise when two people from different backgrounds come together and portrays the importance of understanding and accepting one's roots.

English Babu Desi Mem is a 1996 romance movie. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.6.
