Abstract: This paper examines the 2020 Hindi-dubbed version of Mysskin’s Tamil film Psycho, focusing on the challenges of linguistic and cultural transposition within the thriller genre. While the original Tamil Psycho gained acclaim for its atmospheric tension, aural complexity (particularly the use of differently-abled characters), and non-linear storytelling, the Hindi dubbed version reveals critical issues of dubbing dissonance, cultural neutralization, and altered audience reception. This analysis argues that the Hindi dub, while expanding market reach, often undermines the film’s core sensory experience, particularly its reliance on silence and sign language as narrative devices.
