Due to the stupid CBSE forcing me to study Hindi I know the script and can read and write and know a few words but since I find the language completely useless to me I've refused to spend any amount of time learning it.

I don't like the usual masala movies. Marc, you don't understand even one iota of Hindi? Unbelievable. The fact that the Hindi is colloquial is not a reason to watch the movie. You watch the movie because it's good. The fact that the Hindi-English combo is easy for even a non-Hindi speaker to understand is a bonus. I doubt that claim about more movie-going people understanding English than Hindi, sounds like what someone who thinks that the Sathyam and Inox theatres are the only cinema theatres in town would say.

George, that's not a very good reason to watch the movie. And despite what you fervently believe, more movie going people understand English than Hindi in India.

Fair enough Arun, go with someone who knows Hindi. If they're a good friend they won't mind translating the hard bits for you.

They should have subtitles. I want every subtleness in words and hints to be understood in a movie. Otherwise, it's just doesn't feel right. I agree with Marc. They should have subtitles.

Most of the film can be understood with very little knowledge of Hindi. And besides, this is India, English won't appeal to a wider audience. Hindi will.
