What would ‘Mission Impossible’ be in Bhojpuri?

 

Imagine what you would need to say if Bollywood and Hollywood films had Bhojpuri titles…

Our lost in translation column sure is growing in popularity. It seems to have caught even the attention of Amitabh Bachchan! When he shot for a Bhojpuri film recently, he got the bright idea of translating several English titles from both Hollywood and Bollywood into that language, “since Bhojpuri provided some excellent quips on certain matters,” he tweeted. As the megastar prepares to undergo surgery this Saturday, we bring you his witty translations in a way that will, we hope, cheer him up. Enjoy!
