Keeping the runtime under 160 minutes is important in today’s time to keep the turnaround time between two shows to less than 3 hours. The runtime of KICK at 147 mins (2 hours 27 mins) is just about perfect for a big release.
For a film starring Salman Khan, it is also important to get the length of his films just right. Too short and his audience in mass-centres will walk out disappointed, too long and it might bore the audience while also reducing the number of shows at multiplexes.
So, how does the runtime of Kick compare to that of other big films? Kick comes right between two of the biggest blockbusters in recent times – Chennai Express (141 mins) and Krrish 3 (153 mins). Salman’s last release Jai Ho was 135 mins long.
Below we have a runtime comparison between a few films released in the last couple of years.
- Dabangg 2 120 minutes
- Ek Tha Tiger 132 minutes
- Jai Ho – 135 minutes
- Chennai Express 141 minutes
- KICK – 147 minutes
- Krrish 3 153 minutes
- Ra One 156 minutes
- Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani 159 minutes
- Dhoom 3 172 minutes
- Agneepath 174 minutes
- Holiday: A Solider Is Never Off Duty – 170 minutes
- Jab Tak Hai Jaan 176 minutes
- Bhaag Milkha Bhaag 189 minutes
@Anand even I am a 25yr old..nice to know :)
even I don’t hate anybody..but when somebody drags Aamir Sir just to demean or make fun, obviously as a die hard fan I get pissed..
@Bulli, @sachin11 and @Navin are my fav commentators for the comic relief they provide.. :D

Hahaha look at babaji, hard core SRK hater… Watched just 2 films of Hritik n 3 of ch akki n call himself fan of Hritik n ch akki… While in reality fan of bhabhi n tingulal watched 4 films of tingu n 5 of bhabhi
Even I not liking Hritik has watched more films of him than you guzarish( can’t forget the torture),znmd n agnepath. Krrish 3 even if someone had paid me to watch that crap I wouldn’t had. Total 3 films and yea one more thing, I’ve never ever watched ch akki’s movie on theatre and proud of my decision
@sss
I have seen jthj,don2,raone and most srk films but not in theatre…
On a side note D3 at nearly 3 hrs long was still able to earn 100 cr faster than lungi express even with paid previews… Thats real starpower and a job well done by exhibitors in getting the turnaround done so swiftly…!
On a serious note our resident drunk sorry critc ‘nipin senior’ and the dictionarys new definition of ‘hypocrisy’ has come up with his Top 3 list from the above list of films- no surprises that Mosquito God has 2 films in Top 3 but BMB is number one is a surprise… So hats off for sticking to your past claims about liking classy films as its nice to see you didnt put Rohit 3 or Nostril Exploding Agneepath at top spot. For once a like from me…!
@navin bhojpuri,that’s not tingulal’s star power that collection is due to name dhoom and SRK’S MADE YRF and due to multi actors and most important due to higher ticket price and extra 500 screen,lol.even Ranbur could even bigger hit if he git all these opportunities.still tingulal couldn’t give a single 100cr movie with out south remake and multiactors.he comes under 90cr club actor list.
@babaji,that’s why I blame you for not watching those films in theater.though you talk so much sensible things still I couldn’t expect this from you but you too are 3rd grade south remake lover.
Wow! Just back home after watching it..
There are movies. There is entertainment. There is awesomeness. There is celebration. There is experience. There is Kick.
Absolutely loved. I have watched Telugu kick more than 8 times. I have not expected they would have changed the screenplay more than 60% from the Telugu one. Telugu version was more of a comedy but this one is more of action and romance. They have made it grand.
Nawazuddin, unbelievable!!! New super villain.
My rating: 4.5/5 I keep 0.5 with me because in the end it has left me craving for more.
For Ajay fans…I feel Ajay is the best actor in Bollywood in terms of acting though I am Salman fan.
Thank u babaji ka thullu for understanding.
@sick rum that buddha is a sarkar devotee n a bhai hater- he will go back to liking akki when dog day releases no doubt and again he will talk crap about bhai… Hes on of you lungi folk now…!
Navinbar, 1st and hopefully last but this time I agree with you except for budha is bhai hater
I am a biggest SRK fan,but i am also a biggest cinema lovers,so i love every good nd entertain film.i watch,ETT(1st day 1st show),READY,Bodygurd(1st day 1st show),JAI HO in theater.will watch Kick,but I am nt a Salman fan.GO BOLLYWOOD,GO AHEAD!!
