Kareena's Hinglish film, 'The Buckingham Murders' gets Hindi-dubbed version
Kareena Kapoor Khan's upcoming film, The Buckingham Murders, is set to hit the screens tomorrow (Friday, September 13). In a unique move, the Hansal Mehta-directed crime mystery-thriller will be released in two versions: Hinglish and Hindi. This decision aims to cater to a wider audience by offering an authentic experience through the original Hinglish version and a more accessible Hindi-dubbed version.
Authenticity and accessibility: The dual release strategy
For the Hinglish version, Mehta cast actors from specific localities to ensure authentic accents. However, understanding this version might be challenging for some viewers, prompting the release of a Hindi-dubbed version. The film will follow a 50-50 strategy, with half the screens showing the Hinglish version and the other half screening the Hindi version. This approach reflects the filmmakers' commitment to reaching a diverse audience.
