Run time is one of the crucial factors in deciding the overall Box Office verdict of a film. Of late, producers and directors are adopting a racy narration path with crisp duration of 120 to 130 minutes as safe run time. This would directly eliminate the lag in story telling process and also fasten the proceedings keeping the audience engaged. However, the final commitment of hero and director matter the most.
Latest we heard is ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ having the run time of 162 minutes which is of course high relative to current standards in vogue. As per multiplex audience mindset, any length less than 120 minutes is considered as secure. Director Bobby and hero Pawan Kalyan may not want to curtail the length by diluting narration. Accordingly, editor had no other chance than to make it locked at 2 hours 42 minutes.
Anyways, content and entertainment based execution are to drive the overall result. Pawan Kalyan keeping the audience on happy note with his trademark mannerisms, comic timing and high voltage action; we are even ready to enjoy a 180 minutes film. That’s the magic around Power Star. Hope, length won’t prove detrimental for ‘Sardaar.’
