‘Nannaku Prematho’ completed censor formalities Yesterday and the film received ‘U/A’ Certificate. Ever since the Censor report was out, Fans of NTR began doubting the Box Office outcome of the project. Yes, They have got a valid reason for it!
The total runtime of ‘Nannaku Prematho’ is somewhere close to 168 minutes. Its never easy to keep the viewers glued to the screens for such a long period and films with a run time exceeding 150 minutes have mostly received mixed response from the movie buffs.
In fact, Sukumar’s previous outing ‘1 – Nenokkadine’ received thumbs down from audience and one of the reasons behind it is a runtime of around 170 minutes. Yet, The Filmmaker hasn’t learnt anything from the failure and gone ahead with his conviction for ‘Nannaku Prematho’.
Of course, There are a few instances to say run time alone can’t decide the fate of a movie. We have films like Mohabbatein which lasts for 3 hr 36 min ending up as money spinners. Hopefully, ‘Nannaku Prematho’ fits in the same league.
