Gone
are
those
days
when
filmmakers
and
technicians
used
to
decide
a
film"s
output
before
sending
prints
to
theatres.
Now,
the
theatre
operators
themselves
have
picked
the
new-hat
task
of
editing
scenes.
In
recent
times,
many
films
have
become
a
success
due
to
theatre
operators
deleting
and
reediting
certain
sequences,
witnessing
the
audiences" feedback
after
a
couple
of
shows
on
first
day
of
release.
It"s
worth
mentioning
that
Shankar"s
production
Eeram
had
a
mediocre
opening
and
consequently,
once
the
duration
was
trimmed,
the
feedback
gradually
exceeded
everyone"s
expectations.
On
par,
Selvaraghavan"s
Aayirathil
Oruvan
made
it
bigger
on
charts
as
nearly
30
mins
of
bold
sequences
in
second
half
were
completely
deleted
by
the
operators.
Of
course,
these
sequences
were
completely
inappropriate
for
kids
as
they
involved
lots
of
obscenity
and
violence.
Now,
taking
a
step
ahead,
the
operators
have
started
analyzing
audiences" psychology.
As
the
audiences
in
theatres
of
Chennai
outskirts
and
down
south
districts
couldn"t
accept
tragic
climax
of
Vinnaithandi
Varuvaaya,
the
theatre
operators
have
become
saviors
of
the
hour.
They
have
somehow
managed
to
reedit
certain
sequences
to
depict
a
happy
ending
with
the
reunification
of
Silambarasan
and
Trisha.
By
nature,
the
teen
groups
in
school,
who"ve
decided
to
watch
the
film
after
examinations
will
be
brimmed
with
surprises
and
it
would
result
in
drawing
more
crowds
for
summer
vacation.
