The runtime of Salman Khan’s keenly-awaited Dabangg 2 is around 2 hours. 125 minutes to be precise, making it one of Salman Khan’s shortest films ever. The first film, Dabangg, had a runtime of 126 minutes.
While the length of feature films has reduced considerably over the last decade, very few mainstream Hindi films are 2 hours or less. But given the fact that more than 50% of business is generated in the first weekend itself, filmmakers are trying to make films shorter, to accomodate more shows at multiplexes and even single screens.
Pros: more shows at multiplexes which helps generate more revenue over the weekend, higher repeat value if the film is liked.
Cons: Single screen audience might walk out disappointed, as short films are not considered to be ‘paisa-vasool’ at smaller centers. With a runtime so short and about 20 minutes dedicated to songs, the actual film might just be around 1 and a half hours.
What do you think of the Dabangg 2’s runtime.. Salman Khan fans?
Update: The actual runtime is 125 minutes (2 hour 5 mins). The censor board has passed the film with a U/A certificate (without cuts).
sirf paise ke liye karta hai
SRK ko dekho jthj runtime 2hrs 56m
boss got scared by jthj runtime and its collections so decided
well actually almost all hollywood films are if same runtime i.e. about 1hr & 40 minutes ….so it doesn’t matter…but it does matter whether film entertains you in that given runtime!
ths movie will be outstanding…200cr+ movie
Salman Ki mvie main run time doesnt matter all dat matter is his screen presence :D and 1 hr 50 mins means it will b full on dhamaal entertaining and fast pasced mvie cnt wait very excited :D
Shut up tejas trying to defend salman every one know the run time of less than two hrs is baseless film what the audience will enjoy dabangg is only made for money best actions in bollywood is rowdy rathore AND dabangg will only cross 120 mark at the boxoffice
i think 2 hours is good enough to watch out a movie.
@tejas yes u r rite…nd im sure it will be entertaing..its music are aleady on top chart..
Welcome Emperor Khan. Fate loves fearless.
Disappointment and waste money
it will definitely break the opening weekend record…nt sure abt the opening day…if the movie receives the same response as Dabangg then guaranteed 200+
@ radha yup!! 2nd atbb in 2012!!
jerry ghar ja aur tom & jerry dekh….wahi tere liye sahi hai!
salman is clever.he knws from nowadays youth,that’s why he reduced the runtime..lenghty film is boring
now every one follows salman khan… they also reduse der film runtime…
salman is the trendsetter of bollywood…
he knws dat dere is no story in d movie, so mek it short n conduct as many shows as possible , so dat in 1st week all d revenues flows in, n it collects a huge amount, chahe audience aur critics ko pasand aye na aye, film blockbuster ho jayegi, dats wat he wnts , only money n blockbuster tagline !! if u mek a lengthy movie n it is gripping thru out, audience vl lyk it irrespective of d tym e.g omg, kahaani, arakshan, agneepath etc bt inhe kaun samjhaye ! all dey wnt is blockbuster tagline , bollywood’s future is nt lukin gud
: i think editor of
Dabangg 2 edited full-on bcoz of
arbaz khan 3rd class direction !!!
but movie will earn too much
now cuz now show will increass
in double numbers n wid help of
paid media n salman stardom
also their wid Dabangg brand
run time koi matter nahi karta but indian film agar 1.50hr ki h to matter h cos songs bhi hote h
1 hr 50 mins is a huge advantage….it shld be entertaining
All time flopbuster. Salman ki movie main story hoti hay kaya?
i thnk its because arbaaz is a 1st time director with less sense so he would have decided to let it be short and engaging because its nt cup of tea of every one to make long and engaging movies like karan johar or farhan akhtar
Single screens audience will disappoint???
LOL What a STUPID yar.
Its perfect runtime which will help to “Greater Repeat Value”.
Collection should be Huge than current expection.
Tejas watch wait n watch ragini mms next Diwali because u will feel better after the failure of dabangg 2
Jo jo sochta hai ki d2 disappoint hogi toh mat dekho koi zoor nahi…aur wasai bhi d2 ko atbb honay sai koi nahi rokh sakhta
Does Mass people in Single Screens like Songs?
NO WAY.
I saw so many people were taking rest or going to bathroom when Songs came Film in all Single Screens.
There’s no way disappoint for single screens.
@ jerry i prefer family movies…not skin eposing movies involving multiple kisses like jab tak hai jaan & ragini mms….
u can njoy ragini mms as u are srk fan….& his movies have many kisses & exposure of actresses!
Dabangg2 gonna rock..for sure!!!…get READY for another BANGG…
