AI dubbing and lip sync in Marathi
To dub a video into Marathi with lip sync, send it to us. We translate your script into Marathi, and our technology recreates the speaker's own voice. Then we match the mouth to every Marathi word. If you have a Marathi dub, we match the mouth to that.
Watch a Hindi film change to Marathi
Britannia shot this 50-50 Golmaal film in Hindi, and the client made the Marathi dub. Tap Original to hear that dub over the Hindi mouth. Tap Lipsmatch to see the mouth shape the Marathi words at the same moment. All 4 films of the campaign went into Marathi.
Translated into real Marathi, line by line
We translate each line of your script for its meaning, into natural Marathi.
Marathi and Hindi share the Devanagari letters. So a Hindi script can look almost ready for Marathi on the page. But Marathi has its own words and grammar. A line copied over from Hindi can sound foreign to Marathi viewers.
So you read and approve the Marathi translation before we make any voice. Then our technology recreates the speaker's own voice, and Lipsmatch changes the mouth to match each Marathi word.

3 choices for your Marathi translation
You make these choices once, at the start. Every later video in the series follows them.
- Formal or everyday Marathi. Formal Marathi takes its literary and technical words from Sanskrit. Everyday speech also uses many words from Persian and English. A lesson or a speech often suits the first. A vlog or an ad often suits the second.
- Standard or local. Standard Marathi is the Marathi of books and newspapers. It grew from the speech of Pune. Its dialects are close, so one standard translation serves most videos. A video made for western Vidarbha can add words from Varhadi.
- Seconds on screen. Your cuts stay as filmed, and they set the time for each line. We translate each line to fit that time, as dubbing research advises. Inside that time, our translators pick words for their meaning. Then Lipsmatch shapes the mouth to fit them.
The speaker, talking Marathi
The Golmaal film above shows the change. The comedy keeps its timing, and nothing in the frame moves except the mouth.
For viewers in Mumbai, Pune or Nagpur, the speaker now talks to them in Marathi. The same work suits an ad, a lesson or a creator's weekly video.
To order, send the video and say where you will post it. Each video comes back as one finished Marathi file, checked by our team. You post it as its own upload: a Marathi channel, a playlist, Shorts, Reels or your website.
Marathi language pairs, in and out
We work in 4 directions, and 2 of them have aired on Britannia films.
- Hindi to Marathi. The Golmaal film above took this route. It suits Hindi campaigns, courses and channels that want viewers in Maharashtra.
- English to Marathi. Britannia's Bourbon film was shot in English and aired in Marathi with the mouth matched. English courses, training and brand films take the same route.
- Marathi to English. A Marathi channel, course or company message can reach English viewers in India and abroad. We translate the Marathi script into English, and the speaker's recreated voice says it with the mouth matched.
- Marathi to Hindi. A Marathi talk, course or show can reach Hindi viewers across India, in the same voice and with the same face.

Marathi dubbing questions
Does YouTube auto dubbing support Marathi?
No. YouTube's automatic dubbing offers no Marathi in either direction. Lipsmatch gives Marathi viewers a finished Marathi video, in the speaker's own recreated voice, with the mouth on every word. Where YouTube does dub, a generated voice replaces the sound and the original mouth stays on screen. A dubbed sound track cannot change the picture, so a matched Marathi version goes up as its own video.
How do I translate an English video to Marathi?
Send us the English video, and tell us where you will post it. We translate the English script into Marathi, line by line, for meaning. You approve the translation. Our technology recreates the speaker's own voice to say the Marathi lines, and we change the mouth to fit them. Our team checks the result, and you receive a new Marathi video file.
Can you dub Hindi videos into Marathi with lip sync?
Yes. The 50-50 Golmaal film on this page was shot in Hindi and aired in Marathi with the mouth matched. If you have a Marathi dub, we match the mouth to it. If not, we translate the Hindi script into Marathi for you. Both languages use Devanagari, so our team checks that no Hindi words slip into the Marathi.
How do I translate a Marathi video into English?
Tell us who the English viewers are, in India or abroad, and send the video. We translate the Marathi script into English that keeps the speaker's meaning and tone, and you approve it. The speaker's recreated voice then says it, and we change the mouth to fit each English word. You receive a new English file, ready to post.
How do I translate video audio to Marathi?
Send us the video. We translate its script into Marathi. Our technology recreates the speaker's own voice to say it, with the delivery of the original. With Lipsmatch, the new Marathi audio comes with a matched mouth, so the lips and the words move together. We do this only with the approvals you already have for the voice and face.
How much does Marathi dubbing cost?
Send one scene first. We send it back in Marathi, with the mouth matched, at no cost and with no commitment. Then we quote for your video. The quote follows its length, the number of languages, and who translates and voices the Marathi. If you have a Marathi dub, we only change the mouth, which is the smaller job. For weekly Marathi uploads, a monthly plan sets the hours up front. Our dubbing cost guide explains more.
