Whereas when done right, it brings the authenticity to the work and a lot of respect for the makers. The best example of Hindi accent done right! 1. The Hindi/Urdu used in the video, prepared by Ten rings terrorist declaring the kidnapping of Tony Stark, by Faran Tahir appears as Raza. Also, the Hindi/Urdu spoken by Stark's fellow captive, (Shaun Toub as Yinsen) is understandably an accent spoken by someone who is not fully proficient and still learning. Worst example of Hindi language in films is a scene in movie - 1. Avengers (Scene where Black Widow searches for Dr Banner, and a little girl approaches Dr Banner and talks in a bad accent) 2. The Russell Peters TV show on Netflix - Indian Detective, the lead actress has the worst accent of Hindi. (Alas, Russell Peters is of Indian descent)”</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anders Reff from Oslo, Norway writes in, “Hollywood has portrayed the scandinavian and especially norwegian accent terribly wrong for many decades. By that i mean the accent we have while talking english. I understand why it ends up like that. They cant use resources on nailing that accent correct I mean, who cares, besides from us here up in the cold north. It is especially annoying because the actual norwegian accent is quite funny and naive. The hollywood version: way over the top and everybody sounds like nutcases. Wrong accent: norwegians visiting in a simpsons-episode Right accent: thorbjorn jagland revealing obama as peace prize winner ( jeezes, did that really happen?)”</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And Eddie from Philadelphia writes in to say “I just listened to the February 14 episode of </span></p>
