Satakarni Runtime Is Just Perfect!

The typical trend of Telugu cinema is to keep the narration as crisp as possible eliminating the lag and boring episodes from the narration. Rather than filling the runtime with unnecessary episodes, directors and producers are working towards purposeful entertainment. A random look at recent successful films shows that anything in between 2 hours to 2 hours 20 minutes is absolutely fine and perfect runtime. 

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s prestigious century mark film ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ is following the suite and director Krish is learnt to have locked the runtime at 2 hours 12 minutes. To all our information, Satakarni production was a costly affair traversed through unseen and untapped geographical locations in the world shooting the crucial war episodes. 

With four extra-ordinary war episodes, plenty of important build up shots elaborating Satavahana Kingdom’s glory of political and people administration, director Krish appears to have played tight at editing department. Anyways, let’s wait for Satakarni audio launch on December 16th in Tirupathi and trailer to be unveiled before that.
