Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Theatrical Runtime Revealed: One of The Longest Bollywood Films

Mumbai, November 26 - Director Aditya Dhar's spy action thriller Dhurandhar is shaping up to be one of the most-awaited Bollywood films. Starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, the film is based on incredible true events, and, according to the latest update, is set to be one of the longest films ever. It was recently reported that Dhurandhar is gearing up to be released in two parts due to the importance of the story. The first part was said to be over 3 hours, and now, as per Bollywood Hungama, the film's theatrical runtime is clocking around 3 hours and 30 minutes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) "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", says the report. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If the final runtime gets locked as mentioned above, Dhurandhar will be the 6th longest Bollywood movie of the 21st century and the longest since Jodhaa Akbar (2008), which ran for 3 hours and 34 minutes. "Dhurandhar tells a vast story, and hence the lengthy run time. Its storytelling will be on the same lines as Dhar's URI". Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, alongside Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi in key roles. It is scheduled to be released on December 5, 2025. Stay tuned...

Love and War Release Date: Is An Early Release On The Cards For Ranbir Kapoor's Period Romantic Drama?

Mumbai, November 26 - Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor has one of the best line-ups of films with multiple potential blockbusters. The Animal star will be seen headlining some of the most-awaited Indian films, including Love & War, Ramayana, and Animal Park. While the release dates of Ramayana Part 1 and Part 2 are locked for Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027, the uncertainty over director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War is looming large, as the latest reports hint at a major twist despite it being already locked for an August 2026 release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Love & War, which also stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, has been in production since last year, and some portion of the shoot is still pending. It was recently postponed to August 2026 from March 19, but according to the latest report by Bollywood Hungama, Ranbir is pushing SLB to prepone the release by a couple of months. Indian Cinema Prepares For Its Most Ambitious Line-up Yet With Ramayana, Varanasi, King, and More Since Ramayana Part 1 is already scheduled for Diwali 2026 release, Ranbir has reportedly requested SLB to move his period romantic drama up in June 2026, to maintain a reasonable gap between the two films. "He wants to ensure that there's at least 4 months' gap between Love And War and Ramayana. Since the date of Ramayana can't move, RK has requested Sanjay Leela Bhansali to bring Love And War on the big screen, latest by June 2026", says the report. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It is said that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is still adamant to launch Love & War in August on Independence Day, since it's a lucrative window for box office dominance, but RK feels that there's too little of a gap between Love & War and Ramayana. Ramayana producer Namit Malhotra is also reportedly putting pressure on SLB to release his movie in June, as he doesn't want the aftermath of Love And War to impact Ramayana in any way. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is expected to take a call on the release date soon and make an official announcement. It will be Ranbir's first release since Animal (2023), which went to become his highest-grossing film with over 900 crores at the worldwide box office.

Is Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar Based On The Life of Major Mohit Sharma? Director Aditya Dhar Clears The Air

Mumbai, November 27 - Ranveer Singh-fronted spy action thriller Dhurandhar has been the talk of the town for the last few days after the trailer was launched. The makers have described the movie as "inspired by actual events", which has led social media users to dig deep to find the parallels. Ever since the trailer was launched, people began drawing parallels between Ranveer Singh's character and real-life national hero Major Mohit Sharma, the braveheart who went undercover as Iftikhar Bhatt to infiltrate Hizbul Mujahideen in the early 2000s. On Wednesday (November 26), director Aditya Dhar responded to Major Mohit's brother, Madhur Sharma, who tagged the filmmaker on social media and asked if the film was based on the undercover spy. Clearing the air, Dhar denied the rumours that say that the film is inspired by Braveheart. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) "Hi, sir - our film Dhurandhar is not based on the life of braveheart Major Mohit Sharma AC(P) SM. This is an official clarification. I assure you, if we do make a biopic on Mohit sir in the future, we will do it with full consent and in complete consultation with the family, and in a way that truly honours his sacrifice for the nation and the legacy it has left for all of us. 🙏 Jai Hind 🇮🇳", the URI director said.

De De Pyaar De 2 Collection: Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh's Rom-Com Tops 100 Crore Worldwide

Mumbai, November 25 - Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh-fronted romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2 has topped the 100 crore worldwide mark, a decent milestone at the global box office. Directed by Anshul Sharma, DDPD2 took 12 days to go past the century mark worldwide. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While entering the 100-crore club is always noteworthy for a rom-com, the overall performance of the sequel is being viewed as satisfactory rather than impressive, especially considering the expectations attached to the brand value of the first film. The film opened on a modest note, and though it picked up over the weekend, the growth wasn't strong enough to signal a major blockbuster run. Gradual progress over the weekdays and a steady second weekend helped the film push its worldwide gross to over 100 crore, allowing it to just about cross the benchmark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) At the domestic box office, DDPD2 has grossed approximately 77.50 crores in 12 days, which also reflects the mixed trend — not a failure, but far from the commanding numbers expected from a franchise-driven urban entertainer. Overseas, the film has posted around 22.50 crores so far to take its global tally past 100 crores. Despite this, De De Pyaar De 2 remains a fairly acceptable box-office outing, buoyed by family audiences. Overall, the film's entry into the 100 crore worldwide club is a decent achievement, but the verdict remains clear — the result is not extraordinary, merely satisfactory, and certainly below what trade circles had anticipated before release.

Tere Ishk Mein Advance Booking: A Double-Digit Opening On The Cards For Dhanush, Kriti Sanon's Romantic Drama

Mumbai, November 25 - Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's much-awaited Tere Ishk Mein is heading for a solid opening at the domestic box office after the early promising signs in the advance booking. Directed by Anand L. Rai, the film is scheduled to release on November 28 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The booking of Tere Iskq Mein was opened on Monday, November 24, and since then, it has been trending better than several Bollywood films of the year. As of 9 AM on November 26, the romantic drama has sold over 45K tickets worth 1.10 crore gross collection for the opening day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In the three national chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis), Tere Ishk Mein has sold nearly 20K tickets so far, and with almost 2 days left before the release, the pre-sales are expected to be among the highest of the year. The makers have done well to keep the buzz going with a solid trailer and songs, which is being reflected in the early pre-sales numbers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Not many films this year have managed to take a double-digit opening at the domestic box office, but here, Tere Ishk Mein seems to be heading for that mark comfortably, if the pre-sales momentum continues. The lack of competition in its first week is a massive advantage for the film, which will further boost its opening day prospects. Tere Ishk Mein is touted as one of the best romantic dramas, and if it manages to click with the audiences, then it will be unstoppable at the box office, as romantic films have done well this year. As said, the early signs are very promising, and it is certain to take a good opening at the box office. Stay tuned...

Salman Khan To Release Battle of Galwan On Eid 2026?

Mumbai, November 24 - Superstar Salman Khan's Battle of Galwan is shaping up to be one of the biggest Bollywood films of the next year. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the war action drama has been in the news since its announcement, with buzz growing each passing day. As the shoot of the film is nearing its end, the suspense over the release date continues to grow. Earlier, it was reported that Salman was planning to release it in June 2026 due to a packed schedule early in the year. However, the latest reports hint that it might be released early. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Bollywood Hungama, the superstar is toying with the idea and considering if his war film can arrive on Eid 2026. Eid has been synonymous with Salman Khan over the years, with any of his films getting released on this festival. Earlier, the actor reportedly decided not to bring BoG during the frame as there are already a couple of big movies releasing. Currently, Yash's Toxic and Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 are scheduled to hit the screens on Eid 2026. However, the postponement of Ranbir Kapoor's Love and War, which was supposed to release on this festival, might have tempted Salman to bring Battle of Galwan to his most celebrated festive slot. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) There are rumours that Toxic might also get postponed due to a delay in production, even though the makers recently reconfirmed their release plans. If it indeed gets postponed, then it might be easy for Salman Khan and team to release BoG during that time, and clash with Dhamaal 4. For that, the Sultan star is seriously considering and will take a call on the same soon. Produced by Salman Khan Films, the film is based on the events that took place between the Indian and Chinese troops at the Galwan region on June 15, 2020, when 200 Indian soldiers bravely defended their territory against a force of 1200 Chinese Liberation Army soldiers.
