Padmavati gets cleared: 10 points by Twitter users
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s latest gets censor nod, and a new name.
So, the censor board has hit bulls-I with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s new movie. After the Deepika Padukone starrer raised several eye-brows, it has finally received the CBFC’s aye to hit the theatres. However, it will now be called Padmavat, instead of the earlier, offensive title of Padmavati.
While this is a wonderful lesson on how losing the egoistical, self-serving ‘I’ can make you more acceptable, Twitterarti have raised other, valid issues.

According to the new regime it should be PadmaGST instead of PadmaVAT. #Padmavati

This just demand
Now that #Padmavati has lost an i, can we call the aggressors Karn Sena? Coz, an i for an i.

More hurt regional pride
All those offended with #Padmavati becoming #Padmavat, at least now you know how we feel when people call #Kannada as #Kannad ??

This conspiracy theorist
#PadmavatiWhen 'i' is removed from "India" it becomes "nda". I think now everyone can figure out Modi’s evil plan.??

This gender-bender
Padmavati can't go to theater but Padmavat can. Another gender discrimination. Women empowerment anyone?

I hope Padmavati fails at the box office so SLB stops making movies after reading NCERT Class 6 History textbooks.
