'Padmavat' vs 'PadMan' At Box Office? Twitter Has Just One Joke

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavat, after emerging from multiple controversies, is reportedly slated for a January 25 release, with a possible clash at the box office with Akshay Kumar- starrer PadMan. Now that the period drama is releasing on the same date as a film about periods, Twitter has predictably gone into an overdrive with punny jokes. While many are wondering which movie will fare better at the box office, others are have put on their funny caps to make the most obvious - period jokes.

Here's what Twitter is saying about the Padmavat vs PadMan:
 

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.

#Padmavati & #Padman releasing together. Period.

- Sidharth Jain (@irocksid) January 8, 2018

However, many on Twitter have now called for the period jokes to be retired.
 

Anyone else tired of the period film about period jokes? #Padmavat #Padman #BasBhai
