Raja Shivaji: Hindi Version Trimmed for Pacing
29 Apr
Summary
- Marathi version is 3 hours, 15 minutes long.
- Hindi version is shorter by 8 minutes for conciseness.
- Trailers also show a runtime difference between versions.
The film Raja Shivaji, slated for release on May 1, will be available in both Marathi and Hindi, but with distinct runtimes.
The Marathi version has a runtime of three hours, 15 minutes, and five seconds, officially certified on April 24. In contrast, the Hindi version is eight minutes shorter, concluding at three hours, seven minutes, and five seconds.
This deviation from the norm, where multilingual films usually share identical durations, is a deliberate creative choice by actor-director Riteish Deshmukh. The aim is to provide a more concise narrative experience for the Hindi-speaking audience.
Further highlighting this difference, the film's trailers also exhibit varied lengths. The Marathi trailer runs for three minutes and five seconds, while its Hindi counterpart is six seconds shorter at two minutes and 59 seconds.
Raja Shivaji boasts an ensemble cast, including Genelia Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, and Vidya Balan, with Riteish Deshmukh portraying Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
