Padmavat vs Pad Man on Jan 25; but let’s put a period on those old jokes

'Padmavat' has finally got a release date - Janurary 25, and now it's clashing with 'Pad Man'. While we're usually great fans of instant memes, the lack of variety this time, is just jarring. Period!

In the clash between ‘Padmavat’ and ‘Pad Man’, how many period jokes can you handle?

Padmavat, the new i-less name for the controversial Sanjay Leela Bhansali film formerly known as Padmavati, has braved all odds and got a release date. Much to the jubilation of fans, the epic drama starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor is slated for a January 25 release. But giving more reason to debate and discuss the fate of the film is the fact that the release date is now clashing with yet another controversy-ridden movie, Pad Man.

The news of the release of the period film Padmavat was received with much celebratory hoots on social media, till someone out there came up with a correlation between the two releases clashing on the same day: A Period Movie vs A Movie On Periods. As witty as the word play sounds at first, it seems Tweeple were for once out of many original ideas for memes and jokes, as the same joke – or its different versions – crept up everywhere.

Much to the chagrin of the recipients of these period jokes, their frequency really got a bit too much to take after a point. After all, how many period jokes can you handle?

If Padmavati does release on the same day as Padman, it will be a first for Hindi films. Two period films on the same day.

Rajasthan Govt still doesn’t want Padmavat released. Bhansali should change the name to Padman and tell them it’s a ‘period’ drama

Irony:
1) #Padmavat & #Padman, both have ‘Pad’s’.
2) #Padmavat – A period drama; #Padman – A drama on period.
3) #Padmavat & #Padman, both have ‘Ma’ in their names.
4) #Padmavat & #Padman, both titles r male centric.
5) If both titles are combined, they create ‘#Padmavan‘ garden.

Just stop with the jokes. Period.

Please stop with the Padmavati and Padman clash jokes please. Period.

I’ve seen several people come up with different variations of the same joke. So, in the interest of public welfare, please note that #Padman and #Padmavat, both being period films, is now an old joke.

A case of mistaken identities

Take it from me – on 27th Jan there will be a group of dolts who will go and disrupt screening of #PadMan thinking its #Padmavat

Well If #Padmavat releasing on 25th Jan 2018 then i think it would be best for both #Padman & #Aiyaary to move head on 9th February. Clash with #Padmavati will be a suicidal. PERIOD !
