#SOLDIER BOLLYWOOD MOVIES WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES MOVIE#
“Subtitling helps viewers follow a movie or television series better,” agrees Saurabh Yagnik, general manager and senior vice-president of Star World, the English language channel that gets its shows subtitled by an Indian agency. He adds that of the 240 prints released for “Inception”, the 53 subtitled ones accounted for roughly 35% of box-office earnings. “For “Inception”, we are offering both the subtitled and the non subtitled versions and have left it to the audiences to decide which they would like to watch,” says Dias. Warner Bros is trumpeting its new policy on subtitling. Therefore, we introduced subtitles and will continue to do so for all our forthcoming films,” he says. As a result, they were missing out on crucial dialogue and losing the essence of the film. “In both the movies, the accent was difficult to understand for most Indian viewers. Sengupta has a point, admits Denzil Dias, deputy managing director, theatrical, Warner Bros Pictures (India), which distributed “Invictus” and “Inception”. When she watched two recent films, “Invictus” and “Inception”, she was overjoyed to find they had subtitles.
Sengupta manages to catch almost every Hollywood blockbuster but confesses she can’t always understand the dialogue "due to the difficult-to-decipher accent, at times, the words are inaudible and incomprehensible.” Sengupta’s cry for help seems to have been heard. Ludicrous though that may sound, housewife Chandra Sengupta, 45, says she is happy with this. Have you recently watched an English language movie in a theatre? It will, most likely, have English subtitles.
