Dhurandhar 2 runtime sparks meme festAudiences are eagerly waiting for Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2. And amidst the wait, they are also preparing to watch a 4–5-hour film (including trailers and an interval). Many social media users shared hilarious memes and videos, showing their preps for watching one of the longest films in Indian cinema.
In several viral videos, creators are seen dramatically packing suitcases before leaving for the theatre, as though they are about to go on a long trip rather than watch a film.
While some netizens are packing food and suitcases like a train journey, another video shows a group of friends rolling out their luggage and announcing they are off to watch Dhurandhar 2.
Another meme showed how netizens feel that the interval could become a full-fledged dinner scene as the audience will surely be hungry while watching a 3-hour 55-minute film.

Dhurandhar 2 box office already breaking recordsIn a rarity for Indian cinema, theatres are now adding post-midnight shows for Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2. The film’s nearly four-hour runtime has made it difficult for exhibitors to schedule more than four shows per screen in a day. As per a report by Hindustan Times, major theatre chains are keeping a 4-hour, 40-minute window for each show, factoring in trailers, the interval, and the turnaround time between shows.
