EXCLUSIVE: Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar Part 1 expected to be 3 hours 32 minutes long; will be Bollywood’s LONGEST film since Jodhaa Akbar

Bollywood Hungama has been at the forefront in delivering breaking news about the much-awaited film, Dhurandhar. We were the first to announce that the Ranveer Singh-starrer is a two-part saga; this news created a stir in the industry. Prior to this newsbreak, we informed readers that Dhurandhar is expected to last 3 hours. Bollywood Hungama has now learned that the run time of the first part of Dhurandhar is longer than expected. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Dhurandhar Part 1’s length is said to be around 3 hours and 32 minutes. The final run time has been kept under wraps. But it’s expected to be close to 3 ½ hours long. The process of acquiring the censor certificate has begun. Once the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passes the film in a few days from now, the exact run time will be known.”An insider told Bollywood Hungama, “Dhurandhar tells a vast story and hence the lengthy run time. Director Aditya Dhar is an expert storyteller. Look at Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019) or his productions like Article 370 (2024), Dhoom Dhaam (2025) and the recently-released Baramulla (2025). He always ensures that there’s a lot happening in his films and that the goings-on don’t feel stretched. Dhurandhar’s storytelling will be on the same lines. There would be so much happening that the audience would be gripped from start to finish.”If Dhurandhar indeed has a run time of 3 hours and 32 minutes, it’ll be Bollywood’s longest film since Jodhaa Akbar (2008). The Hrithik Roshan-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer was 3 hours and 34 minutes long. In the last 25 years, there have been 24 Hindi films with a run time of more than 3 hours. Dhurandhar is the sixth longest Bollywood film since 2000 after LOC Kargil (2003; 4 hours and 7 minutes), Lagaan (2001; 3 hours and 44 minutes), Salaam-E-Ishq (2007; 3 hours and 36 minutes), Mohabbatein (2000; 3 hours and 35 minutes) and Jodhaa Akbar (2008; 3 hours and 34 minutes). The 3 hours plus Hindi films in the last 25 years (arranged in the order of their release): 1. Mohabbatein (2000) 3 hours and 35 minutes 2. Lagaan (2001) 3 hours and 44 minutes 3. Gadar Ek Prem Katha (2001) 3 hours and 6 minutes 4. Dil Chahta Hai (2001) 3 hours and 4 minutes 5. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) 3 hours and 30 minutes 6. Devdas (2002) 3 hours and 4 minutes 7.

SCOOP: Dhurandhar expected to have a run time of 3 hours plus; will be Ranveer Singh’s LENGTHIEST film

All eyes are on Dhurandhar and hence, its trailer is highly awaited. It was all set to be launched on November 12, but due to the circumstances last week, it was pushed to Tuesday, November 18. As the world waits to ascertain if the trailer is as exciting as the teaser, Bollywood Hungama has learned that, going by the recent trends of several biggies, Dhurandhar has also turned out to be a lengthy film. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Dhurandhar has a vast and expansive storyline. The focus is on Ranveer Singh’s character and what he goes through, while there are also other actors who have a crucial part. Director Aditya Dhar is clear that he doesn’t want to rush through the narrative and at the same time, ensure that every scene engages and excites the audience.”The source continued, “At present, the final run time of Dhurandhar is more than 3 hours. It is somewhere around 3 hours and 5 minutes. The final duration, locked by Aditya Dhar, Jio Studios and B62 Studios, will be known in the next 10 days.” It remains to be seen if the length is brought down or if it remains the same as mentioned above. If Dhurandhar is indeed 185 minutes long, it’ll turn out to be the lengthiest film of Ranveer Singh’s career. Until now, that honour was enjoyed by Dil Dhadakne Do (2015), which was 2 hours and 51 minutes long. This was followed by Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), which had a run time of 2 hours and 48 minutes (in cinemas). Then came 83 (2021) and Padmaavat (2018); their duration was 2 hours and 43 minutes. Kill Dil (2014) is his shortest film, as it had a run time of just 1 hour and 57 minutes. Besides Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun. The entire team of the film, except Sanjay and Akshaye, is expected to attend the trailer launch on November 18.
