Another angle is the linguistic aspect. Dubbing into Punjabi could be a way to reach a broader audience. However, Punjabi itself has different dialects and regional variations, so translating accurately might be challenging.

Unauthorized dubs reduce viewership for legitimate platforms, undermining the financial viability of films. Moreover, Punjabi filmmakers may resent the unregulated use of their works, as dubbed versions often lack the nuance of original Punjabi cinema, risking cultural dilution.
