Thanks a lot for that insight. I will assume you work primarily for Hollywood with that description. It is interesting to hear about the behind-the-scenes from film industries in different parts of the world. In the Indian film industry (maybe not so much Bollywood, but more of the local ones like Tamil, Malayalam, etc) there's a LOT more post being done. Some entire Malayalam films have dubbed voices (for the original movie). Not to mention nearly every song track does not have the singing recorded during the shooting of the dance sequences. So those sets and actor voices I would bet would be completely different.

Italian films from the 70's used to overdub all the vocals, and of course it wasn't exactly in sync so it looked terrible.

Yeah, here in California we have the luxury to do good production sound almost all the time. Dubbing the voices later all sounds very different, because the recordings are not in the same space as the original production and so on. I forgot to think about that aspect, because here we always record production sound unless there is an impossibly high level of noise (eg from a wind machine or something). With modern cameras it's been very good for the sound department because they are so quiet, whereas older 16 and 35mm film cameras were quite noisy, like a sewing machine, and it required some work to prevent this messing up the dialog recording.
