Can anyone please suggest me any open source tool in which I can compare source and target subtitles and also watch the video? I tried Aegisub and Subtitle Edit but couldn't find this feature.

I'm not a subtitler.
Many video players allow you to show multiple subtitles. This often involves setting the position of the subtitles. I sometimes do this with VLC Player, but there are others (not all open source). This would be useful for viewing multiple subtitles, but obviously you can't review them and see the results of your edits in real time.

For text-based subtitles (.srt, .vtt, etc.), you can try Gaupol.
Compatible with Windows and GNU/Linux, released under the GPL.

You can open a source subtitle fie, then open or add a translation subtitle file as well (I'll assume they have the same number of lines and timing). Gaupol also supports video files. ▲ Collapse

If there's a need, there has to be someone willing to fulfill that need, so there's probably some subtitling tool where you can review subtitles in a source v. target fashion (cf. supra). However, subtitling does not consist in just taking the source lines and translating them into your target language. It involves compliance with the standard of subtitling in said target language and these often entails tweaking with timecodes in such a manner that you'll probably split the lines differently. I...

In other words, it's not a "there are 400 lines in this 24min English subbed video, so there has to be 400 lines in every single other language in the entire universe". It's a very common misconception regarding the subtitling process, so please keep that in mind when you review subtitles, I've seen many agencies jump into the "let's put all subtitles into a big TM with a pinch of AI and ML to reduce cost" wagon and literally smash their IPs into the ground with that belief. ▲ Collapse

I agree with Michel's comments. In my post, I was only answering the OP's question.
Still, for reviewing existing translations, it might be interesting to compare the subtitles and their translation side by side (in Gaupol, etc.), while making any edits or timing/line adjustments in Aegisub and Subtitle Edit (to cite the two other open source programs the OP mentionned) or any other subtitling program.

Use SE.
Go to file > Original Subtitle Mode and... voila
You can now open both the files side by side.

What about Oona? I haven't used it in a while but I think I used to see source and target in Oona-it's not my favourite subtitling tool but i think it does that.

You're right in that regard. OOONA Review Pro lets you see up to 3 columns simultaneously (the master template, the translated subtitles, and your QCs). But I don't believe it's open-source software, which is what OP was looking for. At least, I'm not aware of the existence of a public repository where everyone can look into its source code.
