Ghajini is the second longest film of the year-2008
Aamir Khan starrer “Ghajini” is going to be second longest movie of this year after “Jodhaa Akbar”. It has a longer story to tell than is considered healthy for multiplexes but the producer is unperturbed.
“It’s not the length. It’s the performance. You could have a really boring two-hour film. On the other hand you could’ve a really gripping film that’s three hours long,” producer Madhu Mantena, who also co-produced the super hit Tamil version of “Ghajini” with Alu Arvind.
“Ghajini” is released on December 25, which is directed by A.R. Murugadoss and it has also stars Asin and Jiah Khan.
The film would have been lengthier by at least five minutes more, says the producer.
“We were thinking of adding theatrical trailers to the feature. That would’ve added five minutes extra to the playing time and good 30 minutes lost during the day at the multiplexes,” Mantena said.
He refutes the charge that the film has an overdose of violence.
“It’s not a tale of violence. It’s a tale of retribution. And at the moment after 26/11 everyone wants answers. Films about retribution are always liked,” said Mantena.
when ask about “Ghajini” is a remake of Christopher Nolan’s “Memento”, Mantena said: “There are other Hollywood films on same theme of short term memory loss like ‘Finding Nemo’ and ‘50 First Dates’. So why single out ‘Memento’?”
