The Tamil film Jana Nayagan was released in theatres on July 23 after an extended six-month wait. The film marked Vijay’s farewell from the movie industry. The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister will now concentrate on his political profession. As expected, Jana Nayagan had an enormous opening in India and abroad. The film earned over 40 crore net in India on day 1. The film’s worldwide gross was over 77 crore. Now, one hears that the maker plans so as to add more scenes to the present 183 minutes of runtime. What are these scenes, and can they impact the narrative of the film? Discover
Jana Nayagan To Get 6 More Scenes?
Changes to the film were made before its July 23 release, and it was sent for recensoring. The makers reportedly implemented some changes within the film after it was leaked online in April. The makers at the moment are planning so as to add 6 deleted scenes to the film screening next week. The knowledge was shared by director H Vinoth at a recent event.
When the host on the event asked if there have been any deleted scenes from Jana Nayagan, the director said, “Yes, there are six scenes featuring sir [Vijay]. There are two fun scenes, two motion scenes, and two emotional scenes.” Nevertheless, these are deleted scenes and will probably be released directly on YouTube. It’s to be noted that the deleted footage won’t be added to the major film running in theatres, but will probably be made available on YouTube as bonus scenes.
What Was Deleted From Jana Nayagan?
The film was primarily delayed as a consequence of the lengthy censorship certification process. Eventually, the film only had 20 seconds of total footage deleted from the film, and 10 seconds of scenes were replaced. Among the many deleted scenes are visuals of the Indian flag falling on the bottom, a one-second scene of DC’s office badge rolling down disrespectfully, and visuals of a toddler burning.
For Jana Nayagan, the censor board also demanded muting of some words, including TVK (Thalapatahy Vijay‘s party name). Words like ‘Bhagavatha’, ‘Oththa’, ‘India en kalla vizha vaikaren’, ‘Thevidiya Paiya’, ‘Ranganathar’, ‘Siluvaila’. Some dialogue was also muted within the film, and words similar to “Om” and “Recent India” were removed throughout the explanation of Operation Meluha. The makers were also asked to switch the name Sheela Rani wherever used. The makers even have to change the visuals showing Dr. Ambedkar on the book’s cover. One other dialogue referencing Ambedkar has also been replaced.
How Is Jana Nayagan Doing At The Box Office?
Despite the leak, the film put up an enormous opening worldwide. The film entered the 200-crore club worldwide in 4 days. Nevertheless, on its first Monday in India, the film saw an enormous drop. In line with Sacnilk, it scored 10.15 crore on day 5, an enormous 76% drop from day 1’s 42.7 crore. In comparison with day 4’s 32 crore, it dropped by an enormous 68.28%. In total, the film has earned 134.9 crore net on the Indian box office, which equals 159.19 crore gross.
