MohenjoDaro and Rustom: Runtime compared with other films

Both MohenjoDaro and Rustom have been passed by the Censor Board of Film Certification with no cuts. MohenjoDaro will be Ashutosh Gowarikar’s first film with a runtime of less than 3 hours (180 minutes). His classics like Lagaan, Swades and Jodhaa Akbar were all more than 3 hours 15 minutes long.

Mohenjo Daro is shorter in length when compared to a film like Bajirao Mastani, but slightly longer than PK.

On the other hand, Rustom’s runtime is 2 hours 22 minutes (142 minutes) long. The length is similar to FAN and about 12 minutes longer than Akshay Kumar’s Airlift which released earlier this year.

  • Countdown begins for biggest clash of Bollywood.
    Content will decide everything.
    Rustom is biggest release of Akki’s career because it has created huge buzz which was never ever seen in Akki movie.
    Mohenjo Daro looks like a commercial movie with content.
    Good luck to both Rustom and Mohenjo Daro.
    #EpicClash #6DaysToGo

  • MohenjoDaro made on a budget of 120cr has already recovered 60cr from satellite & music rights. That means it needs around 80-90cr theatrical share to gain hit status
    let’s say it’s overseas nett will b 60cr then it will need just 110-120cr to get the hit status & 170+ to become a super hit..!!

    Actually it’s economics is exactly d same as bajirao which scored 100cr nett overseas and 187cr nett domestic..!!

    So basically irrespective of d opening MD can emerge a superhit with +ve to strong wom bcz main 3 holidays r Sunday,Monday (I Day) and Thursday ( Rakshabandhan)

  • When Dilwale released hrithik supported bm and said he ( Ranveer ) used be my fan now I am his.
    The whole industry was against Dilwale be it bjp, Lallu, Aamir, hrithik and their fans.
    We had trust only on hrithik fans but they showed their true colour. Now they will reap what they sow.
    The irony is that everyone supports Rustom over mohenjo daro lol.
    Hrithik fans u will taste ur own medicine
    U were dancing during dilwale vs bm clash and during Fan’s failure and we saw how chameleon u all were. Now taste ur own medicine ???

  • Who will tweet about rustom tomorrow(yeah yeah on his own) has become bigger question than why katappa killed bahubali?

  • Although, Rustom isn’t as big as bm but again I am extremely happy with this clash. Rustom will do 80 to 110+ crore biz even in the worst case but if the content clicks, then it will break the record of rowdy rathore. As for mohenjo daro it has to be extremely high on content in order to survive at box office.

  • Perfect length of mojo……so finally the most awaited movie of the year mohenjodaro is coming in your way…will sweep all the awards ….rustom below 65 crores nd mohenjodaro 185 plus crores….fingers crossed….

  • 12th August Will be Mohenjo Daro Day ……….
    Mohenjo Daro will bring cyclone at box office..!
    Sure shot block blaster and run time also perfect..

  • Mohenjo-Daro is quite perfect with run time. A historical cannot be made more shorter. Though Rustom being a thriller could have been 20 min shorter. Around 2 hrs would have been perfect. Also considering some other movie trailers are being attached to it, rustom may be equal to length to MD including the trailer.

    Just get a feeling it will be a repeat of Lagaan and Gadar. MD will definitely be a bigger grosser but Rustom will also leave a good mark.

  • Thanks for the update.
    I am little surprised with Hrithik answer when media asked him about Bollywood supporting Rustom. He said Rustom is the one that needs support. That makes him sound over confident like SRK during Dilwale. Even Bollywood supported Bang Bang during clash with Haider. It is all promotional strategy after all. Just chill, Hrithikians. Just because other actors are talking about the other film doesn’t mean they are insecure and want Mohenjodaro to fail.

  • Thrilling news for all akkian-According to insiders,RUSTOM is the great patriotic thriller ever made’
    before the release of trailor of rustom,there were news according to some insiders that’it is a great trailor,alarming bell for MD’…….and that was exactly what happen…..:)
    i am proud to be the fan of (king of versatility)-akshay kuMar

  • Rustom has surprisingly created huge buzz….If content clicks then sky is the limit….No offence to Mohenjadaro….Rustom can do a business of around 120-130Cr….Akki is d best

  • wohle Bollywood supporting Akshay Kumar only because they want Mohenjo Daro to underperform so that srk raees solo on 26jan 2017
    if this clash is between srk and akki everyone gonna support Shahrukh Khan not Akshay Kumar even Ranveer Singh is a double dholki ….no 1 in maska maaring…..

  • waiting for MD … all the best to Rustom too …hope Hrithik and Akki both will celebrate together on their apartment’s rooftop …

  • all four films Lagaan ,Swadesh ,BMB, JD have taught us if content is good ,runtime doesn’t matter ..audience will not get bore …opening collection may get affected though ..

  • Fantastic…. #MohenjoDaro gonna Rule this Independence Day… #Indus Vally Civilization #Hrithik #Pooja #Ashutosh G

  • Mohejodaro has very apt runtime for its genre. They are already having the best screens and best showtimings compared to rustom and runtime will help get maximum shows possible for a biggie. That means despite all the buzz that Rustom is carrying, it will be Mohenjodaro that would take home most of the footfalls and money on day 1.

  • Locarno festival guys had watched the films and then requested to the producers to let it show on the closing day ….those guys didnt know Hrithik , they only know ashu sir for his movie Lagaan …that surely means they have liked the movie …tht’s good news for Hrithikians …

  • Rustom will Be D first choice no matter jadoo boy is coming after 2 years with Best recent Genre…!
    That shows akshay’s popularity is much more than 8hit-thik !

  • One hit wonder Ashutosh’s only classic was Lagaan which obviously was ghost directed by Aamir- the others were third rate at best. Stop overhyping this one hit wonders achievements

  • Rustom buzz was always higher than MD right from its trailer . First time I am seeing jadoo boy promoting his movies on different shows otherwise he only promotes them on internet and by giving Dare Etc etc.

    IT SHOWS Jadoo boy’s inner fear.. he needs some mountain dews now?

  • Good thing about Maanvar Ka Darrs shortish runtime is that many dozen scenes were cut short perhaps at that precise moment Jadoo Boy Ritik started his uncontrollable epic shivering….!

    Atleast audiences wont have to tolerate scenes in which his huge nostrils look like a wormhole to another galaxy where perhaps the long lost jadoo n friends live….!

  • Both films will earn equally well if they are worthy it. Nowadays audience is smart enough to know which film deserves to be watched. Clash wont affect both the movies by more than 20-25 crores. If the movie is not good it will anyway flop n earn less. Example is last year’s Brothers.
