Happy New Year is long, but less than 3 hours: Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan has said that his upcoming film Happy New Year is slightly on the longer side (runtime-wise) but not over 3 hours.

The actor was quoted saying “It’s less than three hours. There is a six minute video of cast and crew when the credit rolls. I think that makes the film longer.”

Recently, there were reports in the media that the runtime of the Farah Khan film was 3 hours and 8 minutes, making it one of the longest running Hindi films recent times.

We had earlier reported that the exact runtime of the film is 3 hours 4 minutes. Another trade source has just informed us that the actual length of the film is 3:04 hours (before it went to the censor board for approval) and including all the trailers attached, it could stretch beyond 3:08 hours. However, the closing credits of the film will be nearly 6 minutes long.

  • Anything beyond 2 hours & 40 minutes (160 minutes) will hamper the number of shows & collections. Srk fans, dont cry later with excuses n accept the fact. Better not to have 300 cr hopes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Whatever the fact is if HNY is a good enter taiber than the duration is justified and if its not appealing than it gone against the film because if the film is average than additional 30 min can make it mediocre and if its good still 30 min is too much considering more songs and Farha khan as a director.
    Let’s see what happen.

  • U r best director in world Farah ma’am!

  • why some people are behaving like srk is putting gun on their head and forcing to watch hny!if u don’t want to watch. …don’t watch it….why are u bringing negativity…..

  • Salman Replaced Amitji In Bigg Boss- Result: Show Became Big Hit !

    Saharukh khan Replaced Amitji In KBC- Result :Flop !

  • SRK Farah Khan Chor hai – Om shanti Om ki story Madhumati se churayi no credits given

    Yaha tak ki lines b churayi:

    “itni shiddat se maine tumhein paane ki koshish ki hai,
    har zarre ne mujhe tumse milaane ki saazish ki hai” ….lines from Om Shanti Om blatantly plagiarized from “The Alchemist”

    ‘And when you want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it’

    They r shameless chors and his fans say that HR and Salman copy hollywood and south indian movies.

    Be ready for some more chori in HNY “not the one shown in movie”.

  • Runtime does not matter when the film’s screenplay and story are so good. But today’s time films are all average to bad in this field.
    Hny’s collection will be average to bad also. My prediction for hny…
    On good = 250cr lifetime
    on average = 210cr lifetime
    on bad = 185cr lifetime

  • indicine, any updates on HNY screen count ? with 8 days to go for the release, i am sure details will be out now.

  • @Indicine: What is the budget of HNY. It looks like they are spending crores of rupees in promotion i.e. overseas shows and local dance shows…I don’t think it will be less than 150 crores….

  • Almost my 90% of comments not published by #indicine .. I never use a slang, still my comments has not been published by #indicine.
    @indicine wants that we leave their website.. They wants only Srk fans stay here.. Fine

  • @indicine i have heard that hny releasing on 4650 domestic and 1350 overseas screens. total=6000 screens. is this news true plz clear it. thnx

  • @legend amitji worked with salman in god tussi great ho – utter flop. amitji worked with King in K3G and Mohabbatein and you know the results.

  • @Laila : Dont try to be a saint. We have seen how much negativity you spread on Salman articles. Stop this weird behaviour !!!!!!!!!

  • When I go to cinema I want that movie never ends(Because I paid for it)…So I will watch my single movie of the year in cinema on 25th(Saturday) and will watch SRK for 3 hrs …Its great
