Abstract

This study investigates how English subtitle translation shapes cross‑cultural understanding, interpretation, and aesthetic appreciation of the Indian film Chennai Express. Drawing on audio-visual translation theory, especially work on defamiliarization, cultural adaptation, and multimodality, the research examines how subtitles mediate linguistic humour, regional dialects, and culturally loaded references for international audiences. A mixed qualitative design combines multimodal discourse analysis of selected scenes with viewer response questionnaires modelled on cross‑national reception and comprehension studies of subtitled film. Analysis focuses on translation strategies (literal, free, hybrid; domestication vs. foreignization), timing, and stylistic choices, and how these interact with visual and auditory cues to construct meaning and emotion. Findings are expected to show that while subtitles generally secure narrative comprehension across cultures, they also defamiliarize the viewing experience and selectively dilute or reframe culture‑specific humour, social hierarchies, and regional identities. The conclusion argues that high‑quality, culturally sensitive subtitling is crucial for preserving the film’s comic energy and postcolonial cultural textures while enabling global accessibility and intercultural dialogue.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the multifaceted benefits of reading during free time, focusing on its impact on knowledge acquisition, emotional well-being, and social development. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining surveys and focus groups across diverse age groups including adolescents and young adults. Data analysis revealed that leisure reading enhances vocabulary, literacy skills, and critical thinking while also providing relaxation, stress relief, and emotional support. Additionally, reading for pleasure fosters empathy, cultural competence, and ethical reflection, particularly among medical students and youth. The findings highlight the role of accessible resources such as public libraries in promoting leisure reading and suggest that early exposure to books encourages lifelong reading habits. The study concludes that leisure reading is a vital activity for intellectual growth and psychological health, recommending further longitudinal research to deepen understanding of its long-term effects.
