We are assuming that you all are a highly aware audience for whom the streaming of “House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 1” is no news. It started streaming this morning and fans are a little sneaky now.
The reason? They think that JioCinema has cut some scenes from the first episode of House of the Dragon. Is it true though?
Let’s find out. The official runtime of House of the Dragon on JioCinema is 55 Minutes 42 Seconds.
But what about the OG streamer Max? Although Max doesn’t stream in India, we can confirm that the runtime for the episode in the USA is not a second less than 58 Minutes 3 Seconds.
That’s a big loss of 2 Minutes 21 Seconds. And it matters.
So, yes, there are some cuts on JioCinema. The platform is yet to provide us any justification for the cuts but they might have trimmed some intimate scenes. This Saturday, we exposed a similar problem on Prime Video India as they were streaming trimmed episodes of The Boys Season 3.
Regardless, it is what it is. These are precisely the kind of issues which promote piracy as many people don’t wanna miss any scene from the buzzy show.
