As Bollywood continues to experiment with scale and storytelling, filmmakers are once again pushing boundaries—this time with runtime. With audiences showing patience for longer narratives, big films are no longer afraid to stretch beyond the usual limits. One upcoming war drama is now becoming part of this growing trend, even before it reaches theatres.

That film is Border 2, a spiritual successor to the iconic 1997 classic. Set against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pak War, the movie promises a grand cinematic experience rooted in patriotism, emotion, and action. With just days left for its release, fresh details about the film have added to the growing buzz.

Reports suggest that Border 2 has a runtime of around 200 minutes, which translates to approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes. While the final duration may still change slightly after last-minute edits, the makers are expected to lock the runtime once the censor certificate is received. This officially places Border 2 among recent big-ticket films like Dhurandhar, Pushpa 2, and Animal, all of which crossed the three-hour mark and went on to achieve massive box office success.
