Download English Subtitles For Bollywood Movies Using MX Player

Based on research, MX Player is the major alternative to VLC player. Although there is a pro version, you should be comfortable with the free version. The only noticeable issue with the free version however, is ads.

Here is a step by step guide on the easiest way to get English subtitles for Indian movies using MX Player.

Is Internet Connected Required For This To Work?

Obviously, yes! Internet connection is required to download the subtitle online using both apps. However, you do not need internet connection to keep watching the movie after the subtitle has been downloaded. When the movie begins to display the subtitle and properly synchronize with the hindi language being spoken in the movie, you can deactivate your internet connection if you want.

Which Of These Apps Do I Recommend?

For the most part, I would recommend using MX player for this. Reason being that, VLC Media player pretty much just downloads a subtitle it deems appropriate and begins to display that. MX Player on the other hand, provides you with options. You can thereafter, choose whichever you want and download.

In cases where one doesn’t properly synchronize with the movie, you can always choose another till you arrive at the best.
