In the Hindi version of the film, Ranveer Singh voices the superhero. Sorry Ryan Reynolds, if we start a campaign to replace you as the lead.

So, the Merc with a Mouth is back with a sequel. Deadpool 2 opens in theatres this Friday. In the Hindi version of the film, Ranveer Singh provides the voiceover for the superhero. And Sorry Ryan Reynolds, but we might just launch a campaign to replace you as the lead. Because after hearing Ranveer as Deadpool, I am not able to decide if Ranveer Singh is more Deadpool than Deadpool, or if he is more Deadpool than he is Ranveer Singh. Such impeccable comic timing, man! And yes, we have to give his voice a lot of credit since more than half the time, Ryan is under the mask and it is just wonderful acoustics of Ranveer's voice that do the job. More on that later. Here we are going to talk about the fabulous potshots that the actor takes at Bollywood pop culture.

You see, Deadpool is a character that loves to break the fourth wall and talk directly to the camera. He is a character that likes to make references to movies. He is someone who likes to make meta-jokes you know like saying, "Ranveer Singh is a great actor in the Hindi version of the film. So, in the version which I watched since the makers wanted to connect to the desi audience, most of the potshots and references are aimed at Bollywood. Here is a list of Bollywood movies that Deadpool 2 makes referential jokes about! (ALSO READ: EXCLUSIVE! Deadpool 2 actor Karan Soni is excited about having "a bigger story in the sequel)

I found the dubbing of the trailer strictly mediocre at most. It did not have the chutzpah of the original. Punchlines fell flat.

Just like the dubbing of South movies always fell flat when it comes to punch line. Thankfully South comedians have excellent body language and expressions we get the gist of what they are trying to portray.
