Yesterday, March 1, Bollywood Hungama reported that Dhurandhar: The Revenge is anticipated 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 more likely to be a lengthy affair.
SCOOP: This Eid, prepare for an extended ride; Toxic’s runtime more likely to be approx. 3 hours and 20 minutes; Dhurandhar: The Revenge expected to be longer
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Toxic’s final length is yet to be locked, however it involves around 200 minutes, that’s, 3 hours and 20 minutes. The makers feel that there’s enough entertainment and mass-appealing moments within the film and that the audience won’t get bored or restless. Also, earlier, having an extended film would result in a negative perception. But it surely all modified 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 three hours and 19 minutes. To not forget, the duration of Dhurandhar’s (2026) first part was 3 hours and 34 minutes. All these movies were huge hits and it stays to be seen if Toxic also follows suit.”
Nevertheless, 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. A single-screen cinema hall owner, said on condition of anonymity, sighed, “The distributors anyway weren’t going to be ready for show-sharing. But we hoped that it is likely to be possible, especially if each movies had concise lengths. But now, there’s no likelihood. It’ll be a challenge even for theatres with multiple screens to accommodate sufficient shows of each movies.”
Meanwhile, it’s an important week because the trailer of Dhurandhar: The Revenge might be launched digitally on March 3, as confirmed by Bollywood Hungama yesterday in an article. As for Toxic, the makers have planned a grand trailer launch on March 8 in Bengaluru. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, it marks the return of Yash of KGF fame and in addition stars Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Akshay Oberoi and others.
