Reply to comment by SetYourGoals in Oscars: “Naatu Naatu” From India’s ‘RRR’ To Be Performed During Ceremony by impeccabletim

Oof, I've been intending to watch it but this is a problem. I was present when a friend of mine watched it, but they don't mind dubs. I was like, when I watch it I'll watch the original, as I do as a rule. I didn't realize it would actually be hard to do.

To be fair, I had the same worry you do, but I watched it anyway and it's very difficult to tell it's dubbed if you don't understand Telugu or Hindi. The parts in English are left alone too.

I don't understand Telugu or Hindi, but the dubbing bothered me. As I said, I saw it partially, and decided that when I gave it a proper watch I would find the original. I really hate dubs. Think of how much direction goes into getting just the right delivery from an actor. Then a dub comes along and just...bulldozes right over that.

I understand what you're saying and I agree. I guess this one just didn't bother me as much as I expected. It's all preference anyway.

Good luck finding the Telugu version, and enjoy it when you find it, the movie is a lot of fun!
