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 Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan is 154 minutes (2 hours 34 mins), which is a little longer than the runtime of his last film ‘Kick’.
The runtime for a film starring Salman Khan is even more important because the audience at mass-centres / single-screens, don’t consider short films to be ‘paisa vasool’ (value for money).
The runtime of Bajrangi Bhaijaan is about the same as big films like Krrish 3, Bang Bang, PK and Ra One.
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
- Bang Bang – 153 minutes
- PK – 153 minutes
- Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 154 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
- Happy New Year – 180 minutes
- Bhaag Milkha Bhaag – 189 minutes

Sarook Should Read The Script Before Signing The Movies.Ra-1,Jthj,Ce,
Happy New year All Were Pathetic Movies.
@ thullu – dont worry it will be atbb without your money.
Baja Bhai’s name is less than bahubali in the article. Every where bahubali bahubali. No one know about baja Bhai. Now current buzz of baja Bhai is around -10 or -12.
@BKT no one is interested in akshay’s film either. His 60 Cr long shackles proves that
154 minutes of mindless dhisum-dhisum and crappy jokes , and occasional appearence of the leading lady , not to show her curves , but to serve as a relief from Bhai’s infinite torture …
please pubilish a article on bajrangi bhaijaan’s overseas release.i heard that bajrangi bhaijan will nt get released in pakistan on Eid. @Indicine
good luck bhaijan
one of the biggest superstar in this country return this friday hit theater worldwide
History created by Bahubali has reduced the buzz of Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
The moment of reckoning is justround the corner. Less than 100 hours remain for the release of Bajrangi Bhaijaan and the calculations have already begun. While it is pretty much a given that the film would be releasing on the highest screen count ever for a Salman Khan starrer (over 5300 just in India), there are many records of his own that the Superstar would beaiming to break.These are as follows (only for Indian theatrical):*.Biggest Opening Day – Ek Tha Tiger (33 crore)*.Highest First Three Days collections (Kick – 83.85 crore)*.Highest First Week collections (Kick – 164.21 crore)*.Biggest Lifetime Total (232 crore)Though Ek Tha Tiger had taken a record breaking opening, the film was releasedon Wednesdayand hence the collections dippedon ThursdayandFriday, before escalating again over the weekend. On the other hand Kick (which releasedon Friday) couldn’t beat the opening day number of Ek Tha Tiger but saw constant escalation over the weekend, only to register its highest number (28.89 crore) on Eid, which fellon Tuesday. This resulted in an all time high First Week collections for Kick (164.21 crore).While Ek Tha Tiger had fell agonizingly short of 200 crore mark, Kick continued to fetch good collections after its excellent opening week, and settled down at the 232 crore, hence emerging as the biggest Salman Khan starrer till date.Now that Bajrangi Bhaijaan is releasing on Friday, 17th July, one waits to see if Opening Day record of Ek Tha Tiger and First Three Days record of Kick wouldbe broken. These would be the first two milestones for the Kabir Khan directed film to cross, before one begins to track Highest First Week and Biggest Lifetime collections.This is what the Trade experts have to say about the fortunes of this Eros production:Girish Johar (Distributor and film business analyst):I feel the opening day record will be touch and go, though the first three days would be record breaker for sure. The look of Bajrangi Bhaijaanis being really appreciated. Also, the trailer and now the songsare quite well received too. The craze is humongous and only escalating further with just hours remaining for the release. The film will be brimming HOT HOT HOT, making it a HIT HIT HIT!!!Prashant Solanki (General Manager, Cine Park Cinemas Pvt. Ltd.):Surely, Bajrangi Bhaijaanwill break Salman’s own opening day record of EkTha Tiger as well as the weekend record of Kick. Eid will further give boostto the film, hence ensuring good and steady footfalls on weekdays as well as the weekend ahead.Ramesh Sippy (Distributor):With the universal appealof Salman and the film, the possibility of breaking the record of Kick for the opening week is totally in his favorHarsh Jain (Distributor and exhibitor):Yes, why not? The business has grown tremendously since Ek Tha Tiger and I think Bajrangi Bhaijaan will definitely break its record. The craze for the film is outstanding, plus it is coming on Eid. The songs have picked up too. I am sure the film will open to big numbers.Rajesh Thadani (Distributor):Although it is tough task, with the popularity that Salman has (which is growing day by day), the promo and songs becoming popular and Eid on its side, Bajrangi Bhaijaan has all the chances of breaking Salman’s earlier records.Akshaye Rathi (Exhibitor and distributor):When a film featuring Salman Khan or the other two of the Khan trinity is up for release, virtually ANYTHING is possible at the box office! Even though they are all stepping into their 50s, with each passing film they are setting new benchmarks at the box office and giving stars, who are half their age, a run for their money! Such unprecedented starpower can not only breakrecords, but also set benchmarks that can be breached only by these three in today’s times!Comments
@sss: Bhai’s all those flops look nothing in front of king’s mega disaster YLJK.
BTW, i challange you name a single hit movie of king without big banners/directors/heroines!!!
Enjoying last episode of comdey nights with kapil
Salman Khan you rock man
@babaji, spend your money on akki movies to help him to surpass youngsters like varun, sid, ranveer etc. Bhai does not need your money.
@ajinkya, and movies like joker, gobar, entertainment, k786 are classics right!!!!
Srk fans like @javed find new excuse that is hny was not collected 200cr due to its long duration…LOL.
If that is the case then how d3 collected more than 270???
The run time length is simple logic. Quantity vs Quality Ratios!
We can see yes some places d run time length determines d patiences of d audience with different perspectives. Some feel for d movie to b shown in theatre 3/4 daily it shd b short. Whilee some believe d run time length b longcos of Paisa vasooli. I don’t enjoy too short length movies rather a long but qualitative ones. So trust me in d single screen regions where majority of populous live would appreciate Salman movie cos he is loved there. Even multiplex if d wom is strong why not. In Hollywood their average length is 1hr 40muns at most. But movies like ZODIAC 2007 David Fincher movie starring Robert Downey was 2hr 40mins intialy 3hrs plus b4 academy award jury told d director to reduce d length. D MOVIE was a big success. So it depends with d WOM. Aamir and SRK of d late 90s n early 2000s movies were paisa vasooli. Veer zara k3gm ddlj etc . Aamir pk33idiots dhoom 3 d same. Salman 1st long length movie will b determined by d wom. But it’s SALMAN so expect a minimum of 100 crores with bad wom that’s d reality of being d 3 Khans. no much fuss,let d movie release. Let’s forget RIVALRY n see south movies to b a challenge now and wish movies like BB Brothers for now best of luck n show Bollywood too kisi we kum nahi hai.
Without any offence my top long length and Paise vasioli movies
1. Gangs of wassypur

This Salman Khan is just a glorified Superstar!
Yes he works hard for d poor and is actually a nice person. Coming to his acting talent to be honest I know his fans may not like it or start calling recent Blockbuster or 100 cr club but let me ask audience this. Pls u people tell me if wen u are talking about pure ACTING does Salman really ranks above the likes of
aamir khan
shah rukh khan
ajay devgan
hritik roshan
I think not. Yes I would categorize him in class B rankings where we have the likes of
Salman khan
Akshaya kumar
Ranbir kapoor who are over rated but yes they are also huge superstars created by media and fanatical narrow minded fans unlike class A superstars who are even accredited by Critics.
Hope BB can elevate him back to class A superstars as a result of hardwork and natural talent with ease. People might question Hritik roshan in class A where we have d 2 khans n devgan. Well ideally I think yes hritik she be between class A and B so I think I will make it more realistic as I said earlier this is ranking merely on Natural acting that when they are at their best they leave the audience with a lasting impression.
Class A SUPERSTARS
Aamir
Shah Rukh
Ajay Devgan
Class AB SUPERSTARS considering Box office
Hritik
Salman
Class B superstars with or without Box ofc recds
Akshay kumar
Ranbeer kapoor
BB will be the biggest film of Salman khan for sure. Also it will be the biggest monmoney maker of the year.
BB will be the biggest film of Salman khan for sure. Also it will be the biggest money maker of the year.
@fan udhaas absoultly right ….being a die hard fan of salman I love everything what he does but if going by pure acting he is a notch down to amir & srk …even ajay & hritik I cant denied that…I always feel amir ..srk..hritik..akkki..Ajay r better actor than salman…amir is way ahead to every one in everything…srk is unmatchable in romance (although in comedy & action clearly overacting )…hritik suits in everything besides comedy…Ajay masters serious & comedy timing…akki does well everything but sum time goes over d board…what salman USB is his style & charisma…being a avag actor & still ruling 25 yr is not easy but his charisma & engry giving him d milage better than his rivals….thank u
BB cross 500cr worldwise.
Why khans fan trolling bahubhali
It’s a amazing movie
No khan has guts to this kind of movie
And khans are nothing without holidays
Stroke has struck on Friday 10th July 2015
