SOORAJ STRETCH

WHETHER it is super hits like Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Koun or flops like Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, one thing that director Sooraj Barjatya’s film have in common is they are painfully long, including some that are well over three hours. So, including the trailers and interval, means audiences can be in cinemas for nearly four hours. He continued that tradition with his latest offering Uunchai (left) and suffocated a potentially great movie by making it too long.
