The March box office clash is heating up as Toxic goes head to head with Dhurandhar 2. With both films promising scale and intensity, the debate around runtime has already begun among fans and trade circles.
Actor Yash is aiming to make a strong statement with Toxic. The makers appear to have chosen a familiar high-risk approach to create a big impact at the box office.
The official runtime of Toxic is listed at 195 minutes. That equals 3 hours and 15 minutes, making it one of the longest action films in Yash’s career. This length positions the film as a massive cinematic experience.
With high stakes involved, the team has attempted to tell a large-scale story. While this ambition can impress audiences, it also carries the risk of testing viewer patience over such a long duration.
Earlier, Aditya Dhar surprised many with Dhurandhar, which succeeded despite its lengthy runtime. Toxic now seems to be targeting a similar outcome.
However, holding audience attention for more than three hours is never easy. Even a strong narrative can struggle if pacing does not support the extended length.
Actor Ranveer Singh managed to pull it off with Dhurandhar. Yash now faces a tougher challenge as he competes directly with Dhurandhar 2, which is also expected to have a long runtime.
Fans are eager to see what the makers of Toxic have planned. With Yash going all out for this major clash, expectations are high across markets.
Only time will reveal if Toxic can turn its long runtime into a winning advantage. Otherwise, the extended length could risk making the film a tiring watch for audiences.
