Help from Hindi speakers
Quick question--
What's the Hindi word for sin? Or, more specifically, would it be accurate to say that the title of the movie Boom (the supermodel/gangster movie set in Mumbai and Dubai) is a pun? Does this makes sense? Thanks. |

Are there others? Is there a Hindi word that sounds like "Boom"?

There are lots of hindi words like Boom - Dhoom, Jhoom, Ghoom, but none is even close to meaning Sin.

Boom probably meant to sound like an explosion with no pun intended.
