The pressure may affect the quality of work. Or you go with your first version of the work. “You have to put your thoughts into it, you have to look at it again and again to know that a line is sounding all right or it’s too literal. “It’s only towards the end of the filming process, generally, only a week before the movie is about to hit the screen, you are given the work,” Karky said. If subtitlers had more time to work on films, they would do a better job, said Nandini Karky, who has worked on Thangameengal, Pisasu and Yennai Arindhaal. “It’s better to avoid translating them altogether.” “People don’t at times – for example, you don’t need to say in your subtitle that ‘The door is opening with a creak.’ It’s hilarious when they translate songs at times, like Kanne Maniye (a Tamil endearment) becomes ‘Eye balls and ringing bells’ and that’s when people start creating memes,” he said. One of the keys to subtitling is to avoid explaining screen actions, said filmmaker Arun Vaidyanathan. “Directors like RS Prasanna, Ramesh who did Thegidi, Nalan Kumarasamy, Karthik Subbaraj and Arun Vaidyanathan have audiences abroad and they spent a lot of time and effort on overseeing subtitling,” Santhanam added. “Younger directors are very keen on taking their movies to international audiences and they insist on the language being clean and simple without grammatical errors,” said Kaarthekeyen Santhanam, who has set up the subtitling division, company Benchsubs along with director Karthik Subbaraj. A sophisticated, respectful and well-considered subtitling job, on the other hand, can communicate a movie’s intent and impact and help it widen its viewer base.
Subtitling can be literal-minded and amateurish, thus completely missing the flavour and texture of the source language. She is among a handful of individuals involved in the valuable post-production skill that helps local films cast a wider audience net. Her formidable list includes A-list productions such as Nanban, 36 Vayadhinile and Theri. Her big break was Vinnaithandi Varuvaya in 2010, followed by Endhiran. She entered the field in 2007 with Thoovanam, made by her filmmaker husband Haricharan.
Kabali is the latest feather in Rekha’s cap – she has 333 movies under her belt. English subtitles for the Tamil film have provided the bridge to comprehension and appreciation for second- and third-generation Tamil audiences as well as non-Tamil speakers. Have the “magizhchi” emoticons in the subtitles aided Kabali’s roaring business? The movie has reportedly totted up close to Rs 300 crore in the domestic and international markets. “We have been getting a good feedback for the same.” “My assistant was sitting with Rekhs, who subtitled the movie and we approved the final copy,” he said. While Rekha turned down several requests for an interview with Scroll.in, Ranjith justified the strange use of smileys in the subtitles. You pick your laugh! /U86TM6CQID- Naomi Datta July 24, 2016 We made a list of laughter subtitles in the film. Rekhs (as Rekha Haricharan likes to be known) has written the English subtitles for the Tamil Kabali, and she is responsible for accurately translating filmmaker and writer Pa Ranjith’s thoughts into English as well the spoof-worthy ways to describe Kabali’s various laughs in the movie and the use of smileys. And that’s where subtitling comes into play. When he says ‘”Bahut khoob” (very good) in the dubbed Hindi version, it doesn’t quite have the same effect. When Rajinikanth says “Magizhchi” (happiness, cheers, wonderful in Tamil) in Kabali, we know that yet another punchline has been added to the ever-expanding lexicon of Rajniisms.
