This paper examines the Zee TV drama Punar Vivah (2011-2013) as a case study in the globalization of Indian television content, with particular emphasis on the function of English subtitles as a transcultural bridge. The show’s theme—remarriage, specifically the social and emotional challenges faced by divorcees and widows in contemporary India—presents culturally specific dilemmas. English subtitles allow non-Hindi-speaking diasporic and international audiences to access these narratives, yet they also mediate, translate, and sometimes simplify complex sociolinguistic cues.
