Theatres are increasing show timings to meet the massive demand for the film. Cities like Mumbai and Thane have started late-night shows, some as late as 1:50 AM. Many cinemas are preparing to run the film almost 24 hours a day, which is extremely rare.

'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' has a runtime of nearly 4 hours, which means a single screen can only manage about 4 shows a day. A Hindustan Times report, quoting industry sources, says one show slot takes up about 4 hours and 40 minutes, including trailers and the interval. Despite this, every show is seeing a massive crowd.

Mumbai's iconic Maratha Mandir theatre has seen a major change. The theatre had to shift the show for Shah Rukh Khan's 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' (DDLJ), which has been running for almost three decades. The show, which used to run at 11:30 AM, has now been moved to an earlier morning slot to provide more screenings for 'Dhurandhar 2'.
