Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' Gets 'A' Certificate: 3h 34m Runtime & Controversy Cleared

Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' Certified 'A' Amidst Length Controversy and Legal Tussle

Ranveer Singh's upcoming film, 'Dhurandhar,' is already making headlines, not just for its highly anticipated release but also for its exceptionally long runtime and a pre-release controversy involving a deceased military hero. The film has officially received an 'A' (Adult) certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

Dhurandhar Sets A New Record for Runtime

The most striking detail about the certification is the film’s runtime: a massive 214 minutes, which translates to 3 hours and 34 minutes. This makes 'Dhurandhar' one of the longest Hindi films released in the past 17 years, immediately sparking conversations about whether its epic length will resonate with modern audiences accustomed to shorter cinema.

As part of the certification process, the CBFC mandated cuts to some violent scenes and mutes on several cuss words to comply with the 'A' rating guidelines, despite the explicit adult certification.

Controversy Over Real-Life Inspiration From Major Mohit Sharma.

The certification process has also brought a significant legal controversy to light. The CBFC was forced to issue a public clarification after the parents of Major Mohit Sharma, an Ashok Chakra awardee, filed a petition seeking a stay on the film’s release.

Major Sharma's family believed that 'Dhurandhar' was based on the life of their son without their explicit permission, raising serious ethical and legal questions regarding biographical depictions.


In response, the CBFC officially clarified that 'Dhurandhar' is a work of pure fiction. This statement aims to resolve the dispute and allow the film to move toward its scheduled release, although the initial confusion and legal challenge have cast a shadow over its final stages of production.

What Lies Ahead

With its 'A' rating, significant runtime, and the pre-release legal drama now seemingly resolved by the CBFC's clarification, 'Dhurandhar' is set to be one of the most talked-about releases of the season. All eyes are now on Ranveer Singh and director Sditya Dhar to see how they manage to hold the audience captive for over three and a half hours.
