“I bought the I--- THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST -Dual Audio- -Eng-Hindi- DVD for my mother. She cried throughout but understood every word. Earlier, she could only look at the pictures. Now she feels the dialogue.” — Ramesh D., Bangalore
“The Hindi dubbing for Satan is terrifying. It sounds like a banshee. Perfect casting. But I wish they retained ‘Abba’ instead of translating it to ‘Pita’ in some scenes.” — Anjali M., YouTube comment
“Technically, the audio sync is off by 0.5 seconds in one scene (the garden of Gethsemane), but otherwise flawless.” — CinephileIndia forum
