After shortening James Bond’s kiss scene in Spectre, Indian Censor board has created another storm by converting Game Of Thrones to Ramayana during its censor process.
As per sources, HBO wanted to show Game of Thrones episodes inside cinemas halls during the upcoming season 6 of the show so they applied for censor approval. Once censor board was through with the cuts, the reel HBO got in return was of Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana.
Speaking to Faking News, an exasperated HBO executive said, “This is incredible. They have deleted all the scenes from our show and replaced them with scenes from Ramayana asking us to show that instead else the show won’t get a censor certificate. Only scene they left untouched was of Hodor saying ‘Hodor! Hodor! Hodor!’ Either we can run that for 60 minutes or add Ramayana’s scenes to the show.”
Our sources inside Censor Board speaking on the condition of anonymity explained censor board’s rationale behind deleting the scenes. He told us, “See, it is not as if we are against creativity but some standards had to be maintained. We had to remove all scenes featuring Targaryens and Lannisters because of the incest in their families. Starks could not be shown because of their link to direwolves, PETA would have been at our throat. Baratheon house scenes had too much blood, Martells had nudity, Tyrells have homosexuality, Boltons are too violent, Freys have no family planning. What could we do? All we had left was Hodor.”
“We understood that HBO still has a show to run, we can’t just give them Hodor! Hodor! Hodor! So we replaced the cut scenes by scenes from Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana so that the viewers can learn a thing or two from Lord of Virtue, Lord Rama instead of watching the bottomless pit of vice, Tyrion Lannister”, Our source added.
HBO is now considering dropping this plan completely and thinking of letting Indians watch the show the way they like, by downloading it through illegal torrents. “If we play this censored version, everyone will be unhappy including us. Let the people be happy at least, torrent the show”, said the HBO executive.
Meanwhile, as per sources, Pahlaj Nihalani has already recorded a video praising Modi Kaka for winning the battle of the blackwater bay.
