This paper examines the Malayalam independent film Annayum Rasoolum (2013) through the lens of its Bangla (Bengali) subtitle translation. While the film is deeply rooted in the coastal Muslim-Christian milieu of Fort Kochi, its universal themes of forbidden love, economic precarity, and urban alienation have found resonance among Bengali-speaking audiences in West Bengal and Bangladesh. By analyzing the linguistic and cultural shifts introduced in the Bangla subtitle track, this paper argues that subtitling is not a neutral act but a form of cultural negotiation. The Bangla subtitle version recontextualizes local Malayalam idioms (e.g., chetta , ishtam ) into Bengali equivalents ( dada , bhalolaga ), thereby creating a new, hybrid viewing experience. The paper concludes that fan-generated Bangla subtitles for Annayum Rasoolum democratize access to regional Indian cinema and challenge the hegemony of Bollywood-centric film studies.
