Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar Part 1 expected to be 3 hours 32 minutes long; will be Bollywood’s LONGEST film since Jodhaa Akbar

Source has been leading the way in sharing the latest updates about the highly anticipated film, Dhurandhar.
 We were the first to announce that the Ranveer Singh-starrer is a two-part story, which made a big impact in the industry. Before this news, we had already shared that the film is expected to be around three hours long. Now, source has learned that the first part of Dhurandhar will be longer than expected.


A source told , “The expected length of Dhurandhar Part 1 is around 3 hours and 32 minutes.
 The exact run time has not been officially confirmed yet, but it is likely to be just under 3 and a half hours. The process of getting the censor certificate has started. Once the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) gives its approval in a few days, the exact run time will be known.”

An insider told  “Dhurandhar has a very big story to tell, which is why it’s so long.
 Director Aditya Dhar is a master at storytelling. Look at his previous work, like Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019) or Article 370 (2024), Dhoom Dhaam (2025), and the recently released Baramulla (2025). He always makes sure that there is a lot happening in his films, and that the story doesn't feel dragged out. Dhurandhar will follow the same pattern. There will be so much going on that the audience will be fully engaged from the very beginning.”

If Dhurandhar has a run time of 3 hours and 32 minutes, it will be the longest Bollywood film since Jodhaa Akbar (2008).
 The Hrithik Roshan-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan film was 3 hours and 34 minutes long.

In the past 25 years, there have been 24 Hindi films that are more than 3 hours long.
 Dhurandhar will be the sixth longest Bollywood film since 2000, following LOC Kargil (2003; 4 hours and 7 minutes), Lagaan (2001; 3 hours and 44 minutes), Salaam-E-Ishq (2007; 3 hours and 36 minutes), Mohabbatein (2000; 3 hours and 35 minutes), and Jodhaa Akbar (2008; 3 hours and 34 minutes).

Anand Gandhi opens up on Tumbbad 2: “NONE of the original creators, including me, are involved in the sequel; it’s HARD to see it as a true continuation…I hope it respects the sentiments of the fans”

 Anand Gandhi became someone people were watching closely because of his movie Ship Of Theseus in 2013. After that, he worked on Tumbbad in 2018, which was a cult classic. He was listed as the executive producer and creative director of that film. The movie didn't do well when it first came out, but when it was shown again last year, it became one of the top-grossing re-releases. In a special interview with Bollywood Hungama, Anand talked about this horror movie.


In July this year, Anand made a surprising statement, saying he was the director of Tumbbad.

 How did Rahi Anil Barve, who was credited as the director, and Sohum Shah, the lead actor and producer, respond to this interview? Did they contact him?


Anand said, "I know it might have sounded shocking in the headline, but from my view, I was just telling about my role in a long and well-documented creative process.

 I had stayed quiet for a long time about it, and now I felt it was important to talk about my part in the film that people actually saw."


He added, "Everyone involved has their own feelings about the film and its history.

 I don't want to speak for Rahi or Sohum, and I don't want to talk about private chats. My wish is for honest credit on all sides, and for everyone to move forward with respect."


The success of Tumbbad's re-release made the team announce Tumbbad 2.

 When asked about his thoughts on the sequel, Anand said, "None of my original creative partners, and I, are involved in Tumbbad 2. Because of that, it's hard for me to see it as a direct follow-up to the film we made together."


He continued, "What I care about is the connection the first film has with its audience.

 People have a very personal bond with Tumbbad and what it meant for Indian cinema. My hope is that whatever form Tumbbad 2 takes, it honors that bond and respects the feelings of the fans."

Celina Jaitly shares emotional note after filing domestic violence case against husband Peter Haag: “Life stripped everything away”

 Celina Jaitly, who recently became a topic of discussion after ANI reported that she has filed a domestic violence case against her husband Peter Haag, shared a deeply personal message on Instagram on Tuesday. She talked about the tough time she is going through. According to ANI, the former actress has approached the Judicial Magistrate First Class in Andheri, asking for damages of Rs 50 crores, along with compensation for loss of income and property.


A few hours after the news came out, Celina posted an emotional message on Instagram, calling it the “strongest, most turbulent storm” of her life.

 She said she has been fighting alone without support from her parents or family. She added that she never thought she would feel so lonely.


She wrote, “Life stripped everything away.

 People I trusted walked away. Promises I believed in broke in silence,” before saying that the experience hasn’t broken her but has “delivered” her. Celina said she has found new strength in herself, crediting her resilience to being “a soldier’s daughter” who was raised with discipline and determination.


The actress said her main focus now is fighting for her children, her brother, and her dignity.

 She confirmed that a domestic violence complaint has been filed “against all the atrocities and abandonment” she has faced.


Celina thanked her legal team at Karanjawala & Co., calling them the “shield” she needed during the crisis.

 Since the matter is now sub judice, she asked media outlets to contact her lawyers — Sandeep Kapur, Niharika Karanjawala Misra, and Rytim Vohra Ahuja — for any official comments.


Celina and businessman Peter Haag got married in 2011.

 They welcomed twin boys in 2012, followed by another set of twins in 2017. One of the younger twins passed away shortly after birth due to a heart defect. The couple currently have three children.

Dharmendra once confessed that he was JEALOUS of Shah Rukh Khan: “Itni khoobsurat ladkiyon ke saath yeh romance kar raha hai! Toh main kyun nahin?”; revealed SRK’s comments on Apne: “He told me I should have promoted it well”

 The moviegoers and the film industry are very sad because their favorite actor, Dharmendra, passed away at the age of 89 on Monday, November 24. Many people from the film world shared their memories and feelings. On the same day, superstar Shah Rukh Khan posted a touching message calling Dharmendra a father figure. In 2024, Dharmendra shared a photo with SRK, and in 2023, he also wished SRK luck for his film Jawan. Bollywood Hungama looked through old stories and found some interesting quotes from Dharmendra that show how close he and SRK were.


Dharmendra once said he was jealous of Shah Rukh Khan: "Itni khoobsurat ladkiyon ke saath yeh romance kar raha hai!

 Toh main kyun nahin?" SRK also shared his thoughts about Dharmendra's film Apne, saying, "He told me I should have promoted it better."


In July 2015, during the promotion of Second Hand Husband, Dharmendra talked about how Shah Rukh Khan had once told him the Deol family should promote their films more to get people's attention.

 This was about Apne (2007), which starred Dharmendra and his two sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.


Dharmendra said, "Apne was a good film and there was nothing like it in the sports genre.

 Many sports films got media support, but ours didn't. I remember Shah Rukh Khan told me I should have promoted and marketed it better to get attention."


He also explained that Sunny Deol didn’t believe in a lot of promotion, saying, "Sunny thinks doing too much promotion is like blowing your own trumpet.

"


At the 42nd Filmfare Awards in February 1997, Dharmendra got the Lifetime Achievement Award.

 Shah Rukh Khan came on stage to introduce him and had tears in his eyes while talking about Dharmendra's greatness.


Dharmendra called Shah Rukh Khan his "chota bhai" and added, "Dilip Kapoor Saab, Raj Kapoor Saab, Dev Anand Saab gave me inspiration and actors like Shah Rukh Khan and my two sons are giving me competition.

 Jab tak unki heroine ke saath romance nahin karunga, chod ke jaunga nahin!"


In a December 2015 interview for his 80th birthday, Dharmendra admitted he felt jealous of SRK.

 He said, "I wish I could become so young again that all heroines work with me and they remember the 60s, 70s, and 80s again with the return of Dharmendra."


He continued, "I feel very jealous when I see Shah Rukh.

 Itni khoobsurat ladkiyon ke saath yeh romance kar raha hai! Toh main kyun nahin? I don't believe in the idea of age."

Trailer of Kapil Sharma-starrer Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 to be launched in a GRAND event on November 26

Ten years ago, Kapil Sharma made his big debut in Hindi movies with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015).
 It surprised everyone because it made over Rs. 10.15 crores in its first week. Because of that, people are really looking forward to the second part, called Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the trailer will be launched just two days from now.



A source told , “The theatrical trailer of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 will be unveiled on Wednesday, November 26, at a grand event in Mumbai.
 It will be graced by lead actor Kapil Sharma, Manjot Singh and his four heroines, namely, Warina Hussain, Ayesha Khan, Tridha Choudhury and Parul Gulati. Director Anukalp Goswami and producers Ratan Jain, Ganesh Jain and Abbas-Mustan are also expected to be present.”

The source further said, “The makers are happy with the way Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 has shaped up and are excited to launch the trailer in a big way.
 Hence, they have decided to go all out for the event. Moreover, Kapil’s presence is bound to add to the fun as he’s known for his quick-witted humour.”

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 releases in cinemas on December 12, 2025.
 The source said, “Star Studio18 has backed the film and they will also be releasing it in cinemas. The film is going to get a solo release and the team is already working to ensure that the comic caper gets the correct release nationwide, especially in the mass centres, where the first part did extremely well.”

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon’s first part told the story of a man who reluctantly gets married thrice.
 How he manages his three wives, ensuring that they don’t find out the truth, while also dealing with his girlfriend, formed the crux of the film. The sequel is expected to be on the same lines and this time, the laughter quotient is expected to be more, according to the insiders.

Ramayana 2 Postponed? Ranbir Kapoor’s Love & War Shoot Reportedly Slows Down Timeline

Fans are really excited about Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana and have been waiting for it to come out. Even though the first part of the movie is done, there are new updates saying that Ramayana Part 2 might not be released when people expected. This is because Ranbir is working on two big movies at the same time, which has made his schedule more packed than before.

Ranbir's busy schedule is slowing down the making of Ramayana Part 2.


Earlier, Ranbir used to focus on just one film at a time, but now he's taking on two major projects together: Ramayana and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War.
 Both movies require a lot of time, thorough preparation, and long shooting hours.

Reports from source mentioned, "Ranbir had planned to complete the two parts of Ramayana, then move on to Bhansali's Love & War. But the film isn't showing any sign of being finished. So, he has no choice but to give Bhansali all the dates that were originally set aside for Ramayana Part 2. This means that Part 2 might not make it to theatres by the end of 2026 as originally planned." The delay is not final, but it seems very likely.

What Fans Can Expect Ahead  
The postponement might disappoint fans.
 However, it could ultimately be good for the movie in the long run. Nitesh Tiwari and his team want Ramayana to be a cinematic masterpiece that lasts for generations. Giving more time for the second part could help improve the story, visuals, and overall scale of the film.

The Ramayana series is huge in every way.
 Ranbir plays the role of Ram, Sai Pallavi takes on Sita, Yash portrays Ravana, and the cast also includes actors like Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Arun Govil, Kunal Kapoor, and Sheeba Chaddha, among others.

Meanwhile, Love & War is another big project.
 Ranbir recently said working with Bhansali again after 17 years is challenging but rewarding. With Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal joining him, the film has become a top priority for the actor.
