Dhurandhar Longer Than Animal? All Records Broken!

Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar gears up for a massive release as it highlights real Indian intelligence operations with a powerful star lineup. The trailer earned strong appreciation, and multiple sources suggest the film will run for about 3 hours and 32 minutes.

This makes Dhurandhar one of the longest Bollywood films in recent years. The last mainstream title to cross this length was Jodhaa Akbar, starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, which reportedly ran for 3 hours and 34 minutes.

A runtime like this shows Dhar wants each character to breathe and unfold fully. He appears to focus on scale, detail, and proper space for the cast, instead of rushing the narrative, even if the duration feels bold.

Long films often receive criticism for testing patience, but Animal at 3 hours 21 minutes proved audiences accept lengthy films when the story holds attention. With that momentum, Dhurandhar may aim to deliver a deep cinematic journey.

Fans now expect a layered narrative with clear build-up, especially with Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna and Sanjay Dutt sharing screen time. The runtime allows detailed arcs, but gripping screenplay will decide the final impact.

Hype is strong, and expectations sit high. Whether Dhurandhar sustains viewer engagement for over three hours and marks Ranveer Singh’s major box office resurgence is something you will know only when the film arrives.
