Dhurandhar The Revenge Makes Waves: Maratha Mandir Adjusts Schedule for Epic 235-Minute Film
Bollywood’s latest blockbuster, “Dhurandhar The Revenge,” is making waves even before its official release. The film has become the first Hindi movie to schedule post-midnight shows, reflecting an unprecedented demand from audiences. As theaters across Mumbai and beyond prepare for these late-night screenings, the excitement surrounding the sequel continues to grow, prompting adjustments to the schedules of other popular films, including the iconic “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.”
Post-Midnight Showings Set to Break Records
The anticipation for “Dhurandhar The Revenge” has led to a remarkable trend in cinema scheduling. As of March 16, eight theaters in Mumbai have begun booking post-midnight shows for the film, which is set to release on March 19. Notably, MovieMax Sion is offering screenings at 2:15 am, 3:15 am, and 5:30 am. Meanwhile, MovieMax Wonder Mall in Thane has gone above and beyond, scheduling four shows at 2:15 am, 3:00 am, 4:20 am, and 5:20 am. Other locations, including MovieMax SM5 Kalyan and MovieMax Kanjurmarg, have also joined in by adding late-night screenings.
The excitement isn’t confined to Mumbai alone. In Pune, MovieMax Amanora Town Centre has scheduled shows at 2:00 am, 2:30 am, 4:00 am, and 5:00 am, while MovieMax Gold in Kalyani Nagar has added screenings at 2:15 am and 3:15 am. The trend has also reached Ahmedabad, where several cinemas have started offering post-midnight shows. As demand continues to rise, more theaters in Mumbai and other cities are expected to follow suit in the coming days.
Impact on Iconic Screenings
The extended runtime of “Dhurandhar The Revenge,” which runs for an impressive 3 hours and 55 minutes, is having a significant impact on the scheduling of other films. In a notable adjustment, Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir, known for its long-standing tradition of screening “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge” at 11:30 am, will now shift the classic to a 10:00 am slot starting March 18. This change is necessary to accommodate the lengthy runtime of the new blockbuster.
The historic single-screen theater will now feature “Dhurandhar The Revenge” at 1:15 pm, 5:30 pm, and 9:45 pm. An exhibition source noted that this is the first time in years that “DDLJ” will be screened as early as 10:00 am, highlighting the film’s significant influence on current cinema scheduling. The adjustments echo similar changes made during the releases of other films with extended runtimes, such as “Pushpa 2” and “Animal.”
Growing Excitement for ‘Dhurandhar The Revenge’
As the release date approaches, the buzz surrounding “Dhurandhar The Revenge” continues to escalate. The film’s unique scheduling and the addition of post-midnight shows are indicative of its potential to draw large audiences. The excitement is palpable, with fans eager to experience the sequel that has already set new benchmarks in the industry.
The film’s success is not just about its runtime or scheduling; it represents a shift in how audiences engage with cinema. The willingness of theaters to adapt their schedules to meet demand speaks volumes about the film’s anticipated popularity. As more theaters prepare to add late-night screenings, it is clear that “Dhurandhar The Revenge” is poised to make a significant impact on the Bollywood landscape.
