That last line should have read: All this is just a loose but accurate translation. (nm)

In Reply to: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom- Hindi Translations! posted by Indiana James (Lambert) on December 18, 1999 at 19:36:31:

: Earlier today, my bro Brett and I watched selected scenes of "Indiana
: Jones and the Temple of Doom" with our mutual friend Zamir who knows
: some of the Hindi language. We got him to translate some of Mola
: Ram's lines, they were really interesting and a little creepy!

: OK, as Mola Ram is pouring the blood of Kali into Indy's mouth he
: repeatedly says: "THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL IS IN YOUR EYES"

: After Indy spits the blood out and Shorty kicks the voodoo doll out of
: the Maharaja's (sp?) hands, Mola Ram says "You dare not do that" in
: English of course and then he orders the big thuggee in hindi to "BEAT
: HIM!" As the massive thuggee is whipping Indy, Mola Ram keeps on
: cursing Indy in Hindi saying, "BEAT THIS BASTARD! BEAT THIS DRUNKEN
: BASTARD!"

: Also, during the sacrifice scenes, Mola Ram says: "Kali Ma... shock te
: de!" which means "KALI MA... GIVE ME POWER!"

: In the rope bridge scenes, when Indiana Jones and Mola Ram are engaged
: in hand-to-heart combat, Mola Ram calls Indy a "THIEF OF SKIN" or
: "WASTE OF FLESH".

: When Mola Ram yells to his thuggees to shot their arrows at Indy, he
: is saying "KILL THE GUY BELOW ME! FINISH HIM!!"

: Also, many people around here wonder what Indy is saying in Hindi
: after the "You betrayed Shiva!" line. He's just saying "You betrayed
: Shiva" in Hindi!

: In the Willie sacrifice scene, Mola Ram says some lines in Hindi
: followed by Indy saying in English "Kali-ma protects us..." Indy's
: English line was simply a translation of Mola Ram's Hindi line.

: Of course, Zamir couldn't translate everything to the exact words.
: All this is just a loose but acc
