Negative Word-of-Mouth on Day 1 alerted the makers of 'Brahmotsavam'. As part of the damage control measure, Around 12 minutes of the footage will be chopped off from the movie. This include couple of songs and talkie portions which are lengthy.
Right from the moment USA Premiers have started, 'Brahmotsavam' received poor reports and collections began dropping hugely from late night shows. By the end of early morning shows on Friday, Unanimous Negative Talk has been spread across the World.
Viewers were complaining about the dragging and melodramatic scenes in the Second Half. Scenes were Mahesh goes searching for his ancestors were boring to say the least. Most of the trimming will be done in the Second Half & this should bring down the run time to close to 145 minutes. Collections might pick up if the unnecessary scenes were removed with immediate effect.
