While Tier-1 city audiences are comfortable with subtitles, the magic of Perfume lies in its visuals. Reading subtitles distracts from the lush cinematography of 18th-century Grasse. The Hindi dub allows viewers to watch Grenouille’s nose twitch, the slow-motion fall of a petal, or the horrifying mob scene without looking away at the bottom of the screen.
If you have a strong stomach and a love for tragic poetry, search for the cut tonight. Just be warned: You will never smell perfume the same way again.
