The subtitles had to balance the grandmother’s grumpiness with her underlying affection. In one of the film's most poignant moments, she attempts to make a "pizza" for the boys using local ingredients (roti and toppings). The subtext of this scene is immense—it is a rebellion against the exclusion the boys faced. The subtitles here are sparse, allowing the visual of the makeshift pizza to do the heavy lifting, but they perfectly encapsulate the grandmother’s loving, "I told you so" attitude without becoming melodramatic.
