English Subtitles for Telugu Comedy

I have a 35-minute Telugu comedy short film and need a complete set of English subtitles, timed and formatted as a clean .srt file. There is no pre-existing transcript, so the dialogue must be transcribed directly from the audio, translated, and then spot-timed. Because much of the humor relies on wordplay and local references, I need culturally equivalent lines that keep the jokes flowing for an English-speaking audience without losing the Telugu flavor. Film details • Genre: Comedy • Approx. length: 35 minutes • Source language audio only—no script Scope of work 1. Transcribe all spoken Telugu dialogue with attention to slang, tone, and overlapping speech. 2. Translate into natural, concise English that preserves comedic timing. 3. Localize idioms and cultural references so the humor lands for viewers unfamiliar with Telugu culture. 4. Create a properly time-coded .srt file synced to the master video (24 fps). 5. Deliver a final subtitle file ready to be dropped into any standard video player or NLE. Acceptance criteria • Maximum ±0.5 sec in/out timing drift per line • No missing or truncated dialogue • Spelling, grammar, and punctuation suitable for broadcast subtitles • Cultural notes only where absolutely necessary (kept brief in brackets) Please let me know your estimated turnaround and any relevant samples or links that showcase previous subtitle projects in Indian languages.
