Billu Censored

We all know the fun times Censor Board brings us. The <PING> and <PEEEP> at strategic places have sometimes provided more entertainment than the actual dialog would provide. Kinda like how the fig leaf works, I guess. (I mean, we all know what naughty bits are covered there.)

e.g. Yesterday, I was watching Billu Barber. Now, we are all aware of the controversy created by the name, and how they solved it. And then I came across the song:

Billu se bada hajjaam naahi re
Saari duniya mein aisa kono naam naahi re (as heard on screen)

All this time, I was under the impression that they were applying layers and tonnes of maska to Billu in that song. Turns out, they were just going for some public roasting.

Like I told my friend, the song should have come with a P.S.: Knowledgeable persons should feel free to fill in the blanks.

And then I came acorss this:

Kisi raja maharaja ka raju raju kehke bulaoge ka?
Yeh Billua ko Hajjaam naahi
Barber keh kar bulaao
Barber aur voh bhi ijjat se
Billu Barber, samjhe ke naahi!

Priceless!

Is this what they call Nerd-vana?

I don’t know anything about Star Trek except that there’s a weirdly shaped spaceship (but then, is there any other kind?) in it called Enterprise.

Furthermore, Lost for me is what Australian cricket team did in India (yeah, that’s not getting old soon).

But, I am pretty sure any of these guys ever starred in Lost, thousands, if not millions, of nerd-heads will be bursting out of sheer pleasure.

 

scifi.com did it.

Cue the M:I music

A real life conversation in my cubicle:

Collegue 1: I didn’t open the pdf. If it was “classified”, my hard disk would be scrubbed. I didn’t want to lose my data.

C2: Why would you lose your data if the file was marked secret?

C1: If I open a classified file on my computer, I have to go get my hard disk scrubbed.

C3: Oh, I thought if you open the file, it automatically formats your hard disk. Like in Mission: Impossible.

Me: Yeah, you open the file and it goes “Your hdd will be formatted in 5… 4… 3…”. That will be cool. And so scary. Not to mention, irritating.

 

Itna sannata kyoon hai bhai?
