Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty starrer Border 2 is just two weeks away from release. The film is a spiritual sequel to the 1997 classic. The movie focuses on the 1971 Indo-Pak war. Ahead of the release, Border 2 has joined the Bollywood 3-hour-plus runtime club after Dhurandhar, Animal and others. The movie is around 200 minutes long. As per Bollywood Hungama, “Border 2 is around 200 minutes long. In other words, its duration is around 3 hours and 20 minutes. The exact run time might change by a few minutes after the final touches are given. It will be locked in a few days and will be known once the film secures a censor certificate.”
With this, Border 2 officially joined the list of films like Dhurandhar, Pushpa 2, and Animal, all of which had runtimes exceeding three hours. All three movies became blockbusters. As per the reports, the makers of Border 2 felt the film needed a lengthy runtime to give viewers a proper understanding of the war being depicted. The makers also wanted to do justice to all four characters, such as Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty, which is why the film is over three runtime. “The makers have ensured that the film has enough dramatic, massy and patriotic moments to keep the viewers gripped and also compel them to break into claps or whistles,” the report.
