When the absolutely amazing Minimal Bollywood Posters decides to do something, they make sure they do it well. MBP is back with another installment of Bhaujiwood, but this time with some super popular television series. Oh, in case you still do not know what Bhaujiwood is, please know that we are silently judging you. Also, since we're nice people, we'll tell you what it is anyway. ( Read: Everything Sounds Better in Bhojpuri. But You Always Knew This, Didn't You? )

So MBP has taken a bunch of some of the longest running English television series and has given them a Bhojpuri twist. Which, as we've already established before, makes everything sound so better. So here goes:

1. How I Met Your Mother:  The series is about the story of a man who takes nine long seasons just to tell his kids the utterly inappropriate (and detailed) story of how he met their mother.

Charane gaye gaiiya, mil gayi tumhri maiiya. If only this had been the plot. Show could have wrapped up in two episodes.


2.  Gossip Girl:  The show ran for 6 seasons and was based on a book written by Cecily von Ziegesar. The story is simple: Anonymous writer blogs about the lives of  some very good looking, rich people who sadly seem to hate one another.

Nahi frustiyao. Humka bhi batao. This poster is more entertaining than the series.


3.  Game of Thrones: The story of the epic HBO series which recently concluded its 4th season is the simplest of them all. Everyone wants a very prickly looking 'iron throne'. And yes, they're all okay with murder, war, incest, adultery, betrayal and conspiracies. Simple plot. Just like the poster.

As the Starks say, winter is coming. Aawat rahi, re bhaiyya!


4. Lost:  For over 6 seasons they showed a bunch of people who were 'lost' after their flight had crashed on a distant island.

Pilot budbak? Okay, this is gold.


5.  The Walking Dead: Newest of the lot. It's based on a comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard and is a zombies-are-eating-the-world drama. Not for those with a weak stomach.

Lone man fighting. Some serious dhobi pachar coming up for those poor zombies.
