To be fair, no argument is complete without critique. Some Indonesian purists note that the translation loses the religious syncretism of the original. The phrase "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" itself loses its rhythmic alliteration in translation. Also, the lip-sync for fast-paced argument scenes can be off by a few frames.
In the Indonesian version, the script adaptation is handled with care. Instead of stiff, literal translations, the dialogue flows naturally in Bahasa Indonesia. The famous monologues delivered by Samar Anand (Shah Rukh Khan) are translated into deep, philosophical Indonesian that retains the weight of the original script. The dubbing scriptwriters managed to find words that match the lip movements (lip-sync) while keeping the emotional intensity high. film india jab tak hai jaan dubbing indonesia better
