There have been attempts at new languages, such as Bhojpuri for Spider-Man 3, Bengali for Jurassic World, and Malayalam for Exodus: Gods and Kings. A-list Hollywood releases, especially the franchises, are almost routinely released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, and the Indian language versions can contribute up to half of the domestic box office. The mini-industry that has sprung up around dubbed Hollywood in India has its own rules, brand names, and star system.
That tackiness is now a thing of the past. “The Hindi version had the word dinosaur, but in those days, TV channels used their own dubbing artists at low costs and quality, and this created a bad impact on audiences and threw the market for dubbed films,” Samanta said. The usage that has lingered in popular imagination has been contributed by the televised Hindi version of the first Jurassic Park movie in 1993: “badi chikpali” or giant lizard.ĭubbing producer Ashim Samanta detests the coinage, and describes it as an example of the early amateurishness that characterised the rendering of Hollywood films in Indian languages. One suggested phrase is “ek dirghakaya rengnevala janwar jo ab nahin paya jata” – a long-tailed reptile that is extinct. The Hindi word for dinosaur is a mouthful. What is POCSO offence here?
