When Hollywood movies are dubbed in Hindi, certain keywords stand out. There is rampant use of ' tatsam ' words that are so difficult to comprehend, it's funny. Also, every movie title is exaggerated out of proportions, making them unintentionally funny. We thought it would be a good idea to compile such movie posters and put them in various categories.
Needless to say, some names will sound deceptive. Don't get the wrong ideas.

The desi obsession with ' Maut '
These category comprises mostly of action or horror movies. But don't be surprised if you find a couple of rom-coms in there. Indians are obsessed with death, which is why we watch 'Game of Thrones'.

Add a ' Maha ' to make things BIG

Animation Movies Trolled
Animated movies are the most well written movies and sometimes, really emotional. But the Hindi versions are named so brilliantly , that the essence is lost somewhere in the title. Have a look at these.

You'll find these amusing if you've seen the posters at your nearest theater. Please notice that only Hindi words of the finest quality are used to create these titles.
