Kammatipaadam, the Dulquer starrer is steadily moving towards becoming the first critically acclaimed Malayalam blockbuster of 2016. Director Rajeev Ravi says that the final edited version had a running time of 4 hours, but it had to be trimmed before release.
He also has reportedly raised his voice against the unwritten law constraining cinema into less than 2.5 hours. According to him certain cinemas like Kammattipaadam may require more time to convey its true essence. He added that Kammatipaadam DVDs will be the untrimmed version featuring all the characters, situations and sub-stories that had to be avoided in the theatrical version. People will have full freedom to watch the whole movie undisturbed in their homes.
