Important note first: Ramaiya Vastavaiya is a Hindi film (starring Shruti Haasan and Girish Kumar). It was not originally made in Malayalam. Therefore, you will be looking for Malayalam subtitles (not a dubbed version).

Tools Needed:

1. Aegisub (free subtitle editor)
2. Google Translate + a Malayalam typist (or you can type using Manjari or Indulekha fonts)
3. English SRT file (download from OpenSubtitles as a base)
