'BAN' run-time proves Koratala is consistent
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,April 17 2018]
Koratala Siva has always gone in for a long run-time. 'Mirchi', 'Srimanthudu' and 'Janatha Garage' were all long by today's standards. Before the release of 'JG', which had a run-time of 2:38 mins, the director had actually said that 10 more mins of content will be added a week after the movie's release.
The talented director believes that big films need such running time to tell the story. The long run-time only goes to show that the film has a strong storyline.
What about 'Bharat Ane Nenu'? It is 2 hrs 53 minutes long. Isn't it too lengthy? Hasn't 'Rangasthalam', which is longer, become a blockbuster? At 173 minutes, our film actually passes off without making the audience conscious about the length, says producer DVV Danayya.
Certified with U/A, it had no cuts proposed by Censor Board. Starring Mahesh Babu and Kiara Advani, it will hit the screens on April 20.
