Cultural codes and values
For a Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian audience ( gledaoci sa Balkana ), the best translations are those that replace Bollywood melodrama with local emotional equivalents. For example, when Raj says "Main tumhara deewana hoon" (I am crazy for you), the translation "Lud sam za tobom" is perfect – it carries the same passionate, reckless energy.
