Ranveer Singh-led Dhurandhar 2 continues its mad ride in theatres, shattering records. In a rare move, a Canadian theatre, Cineplex, introduced an interval during a screening of Dhurandhar 2, surprising audiences. The mid-film break, uncommon in international cinemas, was reportedly added after repeated viewer requests due to the film’s long runtime.
Canada theatre adds interval during Dhurandhar 2 show
The rare break was documented by a fan, who shared a video from a Cineplex screening on Instagram. “Unlike theatres in India, Cineplex doesn’t usually have an intermission. But Dhurandhar 2 changed that (sic),” she wrote, adding that the 15-minute pause came midway through the film’s lengthy runtime.
According to the post, the decision followed multiple requests from viewers who wanted a breather during the nearly four-hour film. “We couldn’t believe it. I’ve never seen this happen in my 20+ years of living in Canada. We were all cheering (sic),” she shared.
The post quickly gained traction online, with viewers sharing mixed but largely excited reactions. While some said they didn’t get an interval at their screenings, others pointed out that long Indian films, especially recent South hits, have occasionally prompted similar breaks in international markets.
However, a few days back, screenings of the film in Montreal, Canada, were disrupted after incidents of sabotage were reported in two cinema halls. According to viral reports on social media, miscreants were seen slashing the theatre screen mid-show, causing interruptions during screenings.
