Dhurandhar 2: The buzz around Dhurandhar 2 is at an all-time high, but along with excitement, the film has also sparked a wave of humour online. Starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy thriller has become the centre of a massive meme fest due to its reported runtime of 3 hours and 55 minutes. Even before its release, the film has managed to achieve a rare feat, with tickets selling out days in advance despite high prices and unconventional show timings. However, while the box office response looks promising, social media users are having a field day reacting to the unusually long duration.

Reports suggesting that the film runs close to four hours have triggered hilarious reactions across platforms. Instagram influencers and content creators have been posting reels joking about preparing for a cinematic night out. In several viral videos, users are seen packing suitcases, snacks, blankets and even pillows before heading to theatres, as if they were going on a long journey. Many users have also joked that the interval might feel like a full dinner break rather than a quick snack pause.

Meanwhile, the humour does not stop there. Memes suggesting audiences might need to order full meals during the break have flooded the internet. Interestingly, brands and even the film’s production team have joined in, engaging with the memes in comment sections. Alongside the runtime jokes, another trend that has resurfaced is the viral 'Peak Detailing by Aditya Dhar' meme. This originated after the success of the first film, Dhurandhar, which was praised and mocked for its intricate details.

Now, as the sequel gears up for release, these memes have made a comeback with a new twist. Social media users are linking the film’s release timing with global events, especially tensions in the Middle East. This has led to the rise of so-called karma memes. One user wrote, "KARMA is real…! Dhurandhar-1 was BANNED in the Middle East. Now the Middle East is CLOSED during the release of Dhurandhar-2." Another commented, "IRONY Dhurandhar-1 was banned in the Middle East. Now Middle East is closed during the release of Dhurandhar-2 due to war".
