It
seems
like
the
movie
makers
in
Kannada
have
decided
to
consider
the
suggestion
of
media
and
audience.
In
the
recent
past,
the
makers
of
Darshan
starrer
Brindavana
chopped
the
run
time
of
the
movie,
following
the
suggestion
from
critics
and
public,
who
had
said
that
it
is
too
long.
Many
Kannada
movies
in
recent
days,
which
had
the
run
time
close
to
three
hours
were
chopped
off
after
its
release.
Movies
like
Krishnan
Love
Story,
Kranthiveera
Sangolli
Raayanna,
Lakshmi,
Bulbul,
Tony
and
recent
Brindavana's
run
time
was
chopped
off
between
5-10
minutes
by
the
crew,
just
to
tighten
its
narration.
Talking
to
a
leading
daily,
Brindavana
director
K
Madesha
defended
that
they
are
not
considering
the
public
or
people's
opinion
to
chop
the
run
time,
but
they
are
doing
it
because
to
polish
it
further.
He
said,
"The
team
of
the
film
thought
that
despite
a
first
cut,
the
film
was
still
a
bit
too
long.
So
we
edited
it
further.
It
was
not
because
of
suggestions
from
the
audience."
Sources
said
that
the
Central
Censor
board
is
not
having
any
issue
with
chopping
the
run
time
of
the
movie.

Tony
Producer
Jaytheertha
Says
I
had
experimented
with
the
climax
of
the
film
by
presenting
philosophy
through
folklore.
There
was
an
opinion
that
was
not
required,
so
I
reduced
that
bit.
It
Was
A
Painful
Decision
Jayatheertha
added
that
it
was
a
painful
decision
as
it
interfered
with
his
artistic
viewpoint.
Three
minutes
in
the
Tony's
run
time
was
chopped
off.
Films
Length
And
Fate
Are
Decided
By
Mass
Audience
The
movie
maker,
who
doesn't
want
to
reveal
his
name
said,
"Even
among
Kannada
viewers,
we
have
two
distinct
sets
of
audiences
-
what
you
call
the
mass
audience
and
the
intellectual
class.
The
trouble
is
that
a
film's
length
and
fate
are
often
decided
by
the
mass
audience,
as
the
second
set
watches
these
films
much
later."
No
Special
Permission
Required
The
President
of
the
Karnataka
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce,
B
Vijaykumar
said,
"Technically,
there
are
no
issues
with
trimming
a
film
as
the
Censor
Board
would
have
already
cleared
the
entire
film.
You
don't
need
to
get
any
special
permission
for
this."
Krishnan
Love
Story
It
all
started
from
Krishnan
Love
Story.
Director
Shashank
decided
to
chopped
off
the
scene,
which
reduced
the
movie's
run
time
by
5
minutes.
Lakshmi
The
run
time
of
Lakshmi
was
chopped
off
for
20
minutes.
The
movie
had
Hattrick
hero
Shivaraj
Kumar
and
Priyamani.
Kranthiveera
Sangolli
Raayanna
And
Bulbul
Apart
from
Brindavana,
Darshan's
previous
movies
-
Kranthiveera
Sangolli
Raayanna
And
Bulbul's
run
time
were
also
trimmed
for
nearly
15-20
minutes.
