រឿងឥណ្ឌាល្បីៗ ប្រែសំឡេងខ្មែរ៖ ហេតុអ្វីបានជាយើងញៀនមើលមិនដាច់? (Famous Indian Dramas Dubbed into Khmer: Why Can’t We Stop Watching?) Indian dramas speak Khmer now
Yes, I’m talking about (រឿងឥណ្ឌា) – but not the Bollywood movies with the singing and dancing. I’m talking about the daily soap operas, now speaking pure Khmer (ប្រែសំឡេងខ្មែរ). Drop the name in the comments
