SCOOP: This Eid, get ready for a long ride; Toxic's runtime likely to be approx. 3 hours and 20 minutes; Dhurandhar: The Revenge expected to be longer Yesterday, March 1, Bollywood Hungama reported that Dhurandhar: The Revenge is expected to run between 220 minutes (3 hours 40 minutes) and 235 minutes (3 hours 55 minutes). The much-awaited film clashes with Toxic on Eid (March 19), and the face-off has sparked major buzz across the trade, industry and fans. Bollywood Hungama has now learned that, like Dhurandhar, Toxic too is likely to be a lengthy affair. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Toxic’s final length is yet to be locked, but it comes to around 200 minutes, that is, 3 hours and 20 minutes. The makers feel that there’s enough entertainment and mass-appealing moments in the film and that the audience won’t get bored or restless. Also, earlier, having a long film would lead to a negative perception. But it all changed with Animal (2023). It was 3 hours and 21 minutes long and ran very successfully. In recent times, Border 2 (2026) was released with a runtime of 3 hours and 19 minutes. Not to forget, the duration of Dhurandhar’s (2026) first part was 3 hours and 34 minutes. All these films were huge hits and it remains to be seen if Toxic also follows suit. ”However, the exhibitors were already at their wits' end over the clash and the news of the runtimes of Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Toxic have added to their woes.

SCOOP: Much-awaited trailer of Dhurandhar: The Revenge to be launched digitally on March 3 In February 2026, Bollywood Hungama had reported that the highly anticipated trailer of Dhurandhar: The Revenge will be launched on March 5 at Mumbai’s iconic Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC). We have now learned that there is a slight change in the plan. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s trailer will now come earlier than expected. It is now likely to be unveiled on Tuesday, March 3, on the auspicious occasion of Holi. However, no event will take place and the makers will drop the promo digitally. ”The trailer of the first part was also launched at NMACC in the presence of 2000 Ranveer Singh fans. It was one of the grandest events of 2025 and became a huge talking point. Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi. The first part told the story of an Indian spy who infiltrates into Pakistan’s criminal syndicate and political system and creates havoc. It opened well at the box office but, in a few days, it became a sensation. Its second week collections were more than that of the first and the action musical entertainer ultimately emerged as the highest grossing film of Bollywood. As a result, the buzz is tremendous for the sequel, which releases on March 19. Both parts are directed by Aditya Dhar and produced by Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios and Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dha... #March #highly_anticipated #Bollywood_Hungama #Revenge #Cultural_Centre #Nita_Mukesh #Mukesh_Ambani #Ambani_Cultural #iconic_Nita #Much-awaited_trailer

SCOOP: Dhurandhar: The Revenge to be longer than the first part; runtime expected to be between 3 hours 40 minutes and 3 hours 55 minutes March 2026, that is, the month of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has begun and the excitement for the sequel is growing day by day. Bollywood Hungama was the first one to inform you in November 2025 that the first part of Dhurandhar is expected to be more than 3 hours and 30 minutes long. We are now pleased to bring you another exciting update, this time about the runtime of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. As per sources in overseas territories, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is also a very lengthy film. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The film is expected to be 235 minutes long, that is, 3 hours and 55 minutes. However, in some regions, the information that has spread is that the sequel’s length is 3 hours and 40 minutes. Nevertheless, it is longer than Dhurandhar, which was 214. 01 minutes long, that is, 3 hours, 34 minutes and 1 second. If Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s length clocks 3. 55 hours, it’ll become one of the lengthiest films of Hindi cinema and the second longest film in the last 26 years, the first being LOC Kargil (2003). J P Dutta’s war film had a runtime of 4 hours and 7 minutes. The next on the list is Lagaan (2001), with a runtime of 3 hours and 44 minutes.

Sidharth Malhotra-Parineeti Chopra's Hasee Toh Phasee to re-release on March 6, 2026 PVR INOX Limited, India’s largest and most premium cinema exhibitor is set to bring back the much-loved romantic comedy Hasee Toh Phasee in association with Dharma Productions on March 6. Directed by Vinil Mathew and produced by Karan Johar, Vikas Bahl, Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap, the 2014 film is a refreshingly unconventional love story that beautifully balances quirk, chaos, and heartfelt emotion. Starring Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra, Hasee Toh Phasee follows the unlikely romance between a confused groom-to-be and a brilliantly eccentric scientist, unfolding over a whirlwind week leading up to a wedding. With its sharp writing, viral dialogues, memorable music, and endearing performances, the film has earned a special place in the hearts of audiences, making its theatrical re-release a nostalgic treat for fans and a delightful discovery for a new generation. Talking about the re-release, the producer of the film, Karan Johar, said, "Hasee Toh Phasee has a very special and warm place in my heart. It wasn’t a conventional love story; it was awkward, unpredictable, and beautifully flawed, much like love itself. A love story of misfits, as I fondly call it, the film celebrates the idea that you don’t fall in love with perfection; you fall in love with chaos, with individuality, with someone who turns your world delightfully upside down.
