The runtime of Baahubali Prabhas latest movie Saaho is quite long that it stood at 2 hours 51 minutes long in theatres. While critics found this runtime as a boring one with second-half appearing bit dragged for them, fans and regular moviegoers are enjoying it.
Some filmmakers write their movies to a particular length and shoot accordingly. But some makers like Rajamouli shoot all the possible scenes and produce a 4+ hours movie though they will go with only 3 hours runtime. We hear that Saaho director cut is almost 4 hours 37 minutes as director Sujeeth locked that after pouring in all of his thoughts.
Even though they trimmed Saaho big time, the film has lots of loopholes and pale scenes. We wonder what has Sujeeth shot to produce that 4 hours 37 minutes output. Rather carving such lengthy movies, maybe they should have written impactful scenes and watertight screenplay to make it more interesting and also to save money.
