Chiyaan Vikram’s Cobra was released in theatres on August 31st in theatres and opened to mixed reports and impressive first-day collections at the box office. While the collections were good due to the hype, the word of mouth was mixed due to the runtime of the film.
The audiences felt that 183 minutes was a very lengthy runtime for a sci-fi thriller movie. While Vikram’s performance received a lot of applause, the runtime was the main culprit. In view of this, the makers have decided to adopt some changes to win over the audiences.
The makers have taken a bold decision to cut short the film by about 40 minutes. The movie has been trimmed from 183 minutes to 144 minutes now. After complaints from the audience about unwanted scenes, the makers decided to remove such scenes to make a sharper film.
The trimmed version of Cobra will be screened from today’s evening shows. This is an attempt to bring disinterested audiences back into the theatres. Since the only major complaint was the runtime and some unnecessary scenes, people might come to the theatres to watch Vikram’s magic on the big screen.
Cobra also stars Srinidhi Shetty, Irfan Pathan, Mrinalini Ravi, Roshan Matthew, and KS Ravikumar among others. Ajay Gnanamuthu is the director of the film and AR Rahman is the music director of the film.
