runs for 2 hours and 48 minutes. Although the film has been successfully running at theaters despite the length of the film, some of the audiences expressed their views to minimize the length of the film to make it crispier. It is heard that the night shows start at 10 PM usually. But, due to the length of Chowka, the evening show ends late and the night show starts at 10:45 PM. The film ends at 1:45 PM and it causes a lot of inconvenience to the people for transportation. So, the team decided to cut some of the portions. It is reported that right from the title till the climax, the film has been trimmed here and there and this has saved 20 minutes. It has considerably increased the audiences, says a report.
