When we set out to create Dear Moments, we weren’t just making another mini-series—we were trying to capture the real essence of the people, the voices, and the stories that live and breathe in Bengaluru. That’s when we coined the term “Bengaluru Lingual.” Not just a phrase, but a feeling. A celebration. A cultural identity.
So… what exactly is Bengaluru Lingual?
The City of Codes, Cafes, and Conversations
Bengaluru isn’t just a city; it’s a vibe. A melting pot. A tech town with vintage soul. And it speaks many languages—sometimes all in one sentence. Walk into a café in Indiranagar or a tech park in Whitefield, and you’ll hear a beautifully tangled mix of Kannada, English, and Hindi. It’s not forced. It’s fluid. It’s what happens when people from all over the country call this place home, and still hold on to their roots while finding common ground.
“Dear Moments” – A Mini-Series in the Bengaluru Lingual
When we at Sripada Studios created Dear Moments, we didn’t want to dub dialogues to suit one language. We wanted to stay real. So, the script flows the way Bengalureans do—from Kannada to English to Hindi, back to Kannada.
It’s not multilingual.
It’s not code-switching.
It’s Bengaluru Lingual.
More Than Just Words
Bengaluru Lingual isn’t just about what language you speak—it’s about how you speak it. It’s the way a techie says “yen guru, status update kodi,” or how a college student shouts “brooo, yella ok-na?” with a laugh. It’s memes in mixed languages. It’s arguments in Kannada and patch-ups in English. It’s emotions in mother tongue, and life updates in a mix of everything else.
This language doesn’t have rules. It has rhythm.
Why It Matters
In an industry that often forces a one-language-fits-all model, Bengaluru Lingual is about representation. It’s a reminder that our stories don’t have to fit a mold. They can sound like us. They should sound like us.
At Sripada Studios, we believe this language is worth documenting—not just in scripts, but in the way we promote, shoot, and share cinema. Dear Moments is just the beginning.
A Term Born in Bengaluru, Meant for the World
We hope Bengaluru Lingual becomes more than just a term we coined. We want it to be a movement. A category. A genre. A recognition of what happens when cities grow, evolve, and still hold on to their roots.
So, the next time you hear a sentence that starts in Kannada, meanders through English, and ends in Hindi—don’t correct it.
Celebrate it.
That’s Bengaluru Lingual.
