Superstar Salman Khan’s latest release Dabangg 3, which hit the screens on December 20, has been trimmed by almost nine minutes as the film was critcised for being too long with a duration of over two hours.
The film reportedly has too many songs and was criticised majorly because it served as a hindrance in the narrative.
According to a website, the producers of Dabangg 3 decided to shorten the film by nine minutes from the second day of its release. Theatres were instructed to play the revised version with immediate effect.
A source told the portal: ‘Out of nine minutes, approximately eight minutes have been removed from the first half. The song ‘Awara’, featuring Salman and Saiee Manjrekar, has been edited out. Also, their other song Naina Lade has been slightly trimmed.
‘Moreover, a few comedy scenes didn’t elicit the desired laughs from the moviegoers. Those too have been chucked out from the revised version.’
The major issue with the third instalment of the Dabangg franchise is that the tracks are not that memorable. Moreover, there are four romantic numbers in the film, two in each half with both the heroines. (IANS)
