Hi deependra Sir,
Thanks for the quick reply. Could you please try to add the AD description for some of the regional languages movies such as, Malayalam, thamil, kannada, thelugu, and so? That will be useful for wide audiences sure. Hope these suggestions will consider in the future versions. Stay well, With regards, Timy.
