Cobra’s Run Time Has Been Trimmed By Twenty Minutes

The
team
of

Cobra
has
announced
just
now,
that
the
film
has
been
trimmed
by
about
twenty
minutes.
The
announcement
stated
that
a
film
is
ultimately
for
the
consumption
of
the
audience,
and
their
suggestions
have
been
heard.

Which
parts
have
been
trimmed
is
yet
to
become
public.
Probably
some
scenes
from
the
second
half
would
be
trimmed,
as
that
half
of
the
film
received
some
negative
feedback.
The
film
impressed
the
audience
largely,
with
its
first
half,
and
this
trim
might
just
boost
the
numbers
at
the
box
office
for
the
psychological
thriller.

The
first
half
of
the
film
explores
the
life
of
nerdy
assassin
Madhi,
who
is
trying
to
avoid
a
relationship
with
Bhavana.
He
adores
the
girl
but
he
feels
that
her
life
might
get
ruined
due
to
his
way
of
life.
By
the
time
the
first
half
ends,
we
see
Vikram
in
multiple
avatars
and
executing
some
interesting
targets.
And
the
film
introduces
the
freaky
villain
Rishi,
who
turns
against
his
own
mercenary.
It
also
follows
Interpol
detective
Azlaan
and
a
math
undergrad
with
a
raging
passion
for
crime
detection.
The
undergrad
also
happens
to
be
a
student
of
Bhavana,
who
is
a
professor
of
criminology.

While
the
first
half
set
up
the
pieces
and
managed
to
hold
our
attention
and
focus,
the
second
half
took
detours
to
explain
the
emotional
complexities
between
the
characters.
Although
the
scenes
were
important
to
the
narrative,
they
could
only
deliver
the
information
and
not
pull
us
into
the
drama.

Now,
with
a
trim,
the
film
might
be
sharper
and
could
hold
attention
better.
Even
those
who
liked
the
film
as
it
was,
agree
that
the
trim
could
help.
This
is
a
good
move
from
the
team.
We
will
wait
and
see
if
this
boosts
the
film
at
the
box
office.
