Unless and until, the subject is very strong, the audience is not in a position to sit in the theatre for longer time these days. Any scene is found boring, they would immediately vacate their seat in the theatre.
To avoid such unnecessary risks, even the makers are planning the movies duration for around 140-145 minutes. But the Kick 2 makers took a daring step, by extending the movie up to 161 minutes. But that daring step seems not applauded by the audience and a divided talk was started on the film, right from the first show itself.
Many of the critics and reviewers opined that, there are many scenes, which are unnecessarily dragged and cutting them might have given better quality to the film. May be the movie team felt the same and have now cut down almost 20 minutes duration scenes in the second half of Kick 2. Currently, Kick 2 total runtime is 142 minutes.
As many opined that, the first half is very good with fine comedy but complained about the second half, the makers edited all such irrelevant violence oriented scenes in the second half. The makers are saying that, Kick 2 will be more entertaining now, after cutting down the scenes.
In spite of the divided talk, Kick 2 still managed to collect good share. As per the reports, Kick 2 movie collected Rs.7.5 crore share and thus stood as the number one position among all Raviteja films.
