Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale is one of the shorter big films in recent times, as the runtime of the film falls in between Ra One and PK. However, Dilwale is longer than Rohit Shetty and SRK’s last film together ‘Chennai Express’ which went on to be the highest grosser of all time.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani is slightly longer at 158 minutes, but there is very little difference between the two.
When the runtime of films is somewhere around the 160 minutes mark or lesser, it can help films get more shows at multiplexes, thereby increasing the revenue in the all-important first weekend. The runtime could prove to be critical this time around, as there are two big films battling for screen space at multiplexes.
There are reports that Bhansali edited out several scenes and dance sequences to make the film shorter. Both films release in theatres on December 18.
A comparison between the runtime of Bajirao Mastani, Dilwale and other big films in recent times.

When there is “hardly” any difference, why write a whole article on it? lol.
It seems Indicine is only putting up articles so that it can be filled with hatred comments of fighting fans…..
@JC, we do these articles for all big movies. It’s not just about Dilwale vs Baijrao Mastani, but a runtime comparison with other major films.
Get ready for Dilwale this Christmas.23-25 cr opening for sure.
Ideal run times for both the films. Frankly, expected Bajirao Mastani to have a longer runtime, somewhere around 3 hour mark.
Good and logical strategy by SLB to cut less important scenes and dance sequences, should get him more shows in this tussle for screens/shows.
@JC
Well said
Only waiting for ATBB Dilwale on 18th Dec.
So what u want to prove?? That dilwale & bm will get enough shows in multiplex to bcm a big hit now?? Hopefully ur assumption comes true. Btw bm overseas screen count is more than bb. It’s 8500
ddd scored 44cr overseas. Ram leela 35-40 tamasha 40+. Twmr 45. Piku 30. Yjhd 60cr. So i expect bm to score 80cr if content meets expectations.
so now the pressure on domestic bo ti get hit status has slightly reduced as satellite rights reportedly sold for a whooping 40cr
so 110-120 will now give clean hit status
Dilwale will be a superhit/blockbuster. BM will be flop.
Dilwale will be a better film too.
The thing with SRKAJOL is that whenever they came on-screen they never disappointed the audience.
Same goes for Rohit Shetty, who is Mr Blockbuster Director of our times, whose earlier movies are being watched daily on TV channels & u can watch them with family without 0% hesitation.
So this Dynamite Combination of SRKAJOL + ROHIT SHETTY is gonna blow away everything from negativity to Bajirao coming in its way.

Dilwale GENEROUS PREDICTION::
*Note: This is not my final prediction,it is just made considering everything goes well for dilwale and it exceeds expectations.
First 3 Day Weekend:: 80crs
Mon to Thurs(4 days):: 55crs
First week 135crs
2nd week
Friday(Xmas holiday):: 19crs
Sat,Sun :: Total 28crs
Mon to Thurs (20crs)
2 Week total
135+67crs 202crs
3rd week:: 25crs
Lifetime Around Kick and Chennai express with really positive WOM scenario.
CE 2ND WEEK:: 43crs
Kick 2nd week:: 51crs
I have taken Dilwales 2nd week as 67crs which is again a very high no. for a masala film by Rohit Shetty.
So Dilwale has to be a better film than CE,Kick to have any chance of crossing them.
Few Facts for people who are planning to boycott movie -:
An NGO called Make a Wish Foundation works for the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions and make their wishes come true. Shah Rukh Khan is a member of the board of directors of Make-A-Wish Foundation in India has been closely involved with this NGO and has consistently come to help them out whenever they have approached him. Many of these little ones wish to meet Shah Rukh Khan and the actor arranges for such kids to be driven to his house and ensures that he spends some quality time with them bringing in joy in their lives.
Seven villages in Odisha, Ahriajpur, Banhipal, Okilapala, Palachua, Rangani, Denlasahi and Gupti, for which Shahrukh Khan became as a Messiah by funding for solar electricity; which was implemented by The Energy and Research Institute (TERI). As per TERI, Shahrukh Khan fully funded to implement the project in these villages of Odisha; where there is no proper communication to reach, people even for 61 years after independence stays dark at night.
Also in 2011,he was honoured with the UNESCO’s Pyramide con Marni award for his charity engagements and social commitment towards providing education for kids thus becoming the first Indian to win the accolade.
This is only few things I have posted…think about a man..before saying something about him..
Runtime will not matter much. I expect dilwale to crash from Monday … It is not looking that good.
Bajirao Mastani will start to collapse from Saturday itself as these kind of idiotic SLB films will get negative response.. I don’t think BM will be a good film..
This year will end with 2 flops – BM and dilwaale. Just like Tamasha has flopped. ..
Runtime is neither long nor short.. but if Dilwale runtime was little bit more short that would be much better since it will face a big clash.. anyways can’t wait for another family entertainer..
No comparison between Dilwale and BM. Dilwale will beat BM in terms of BO as well as content.
After bb, twmr nd baby im going to watch bm…
@babaji bajirao prediction kaha hai??
Disappointing year so far.. Next year Dangal , Sultan and Raees are going to epic disappointments. ..
Buzz is that Azharuddin Biopic is going to be 1st superhit of 2016 followed by Raaz 4 .
It’s very obvious SRK is the King of Bollywood!! He is the reason why non-Hindi speakers like myself love India!
Waiting for Bajirao Mastani film , it will rock I Maharashtra .
SRK is just beyond awesomeness. toooooooo much excited for his next film.
news are coming Dilwale content is better than BM.
First 3 Day Weekend:: 65crs
Mon to Thurs(4 days):: 35crs
First week 100crs
Lifetime- 180 cr
