Explained: Why short runtime of Raksha Bandhan can be a masterstroke against Laal Singh Chaddha at the box office

In the month of August, we will see the two biggest releases of Bollywood locking horns with each other. We are talking about Aamir Khan starrer _Laal Singh Chaddha_ and Akshay Kumar ’s _Raksha Bandhan_ . The buzz around both the films has been humongous and we are hoping that these two biggies will end the dry phase of Bollywood at the box office. However, we might see Raksha Bandhan garnering more collections than Laal Singh Chaddha due to its shorter runtime. The runtime of the Aamir Khan starrer is 164.50 minutes (2 hours, 44 min, 50 sec), on the other Akshay Kumar’s family drama has a runtime of 110 minutes (1 hour, 50 min).

The shorter runtime of Raksha Bandhan will give a huge advantage to the film as it will have more shows than Laal Singh Chaddha. For example, if Laal Singh Chaddha is getting 4 shows in a single screen, Raksha Bandhan will get 6 shows instead. With a crisp runtime, more shows will result in more footfalls and which might reflect on its box office collections. However, the content of the film matters a lot as people in the industry have been showering praises on Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor ’s performances ahead of the release of their films.

Also, the success of Raksha Bandhan is very critical for Akshay Kumar as his last two films _Samrat Prithviraj_ and _Bachchhan Paandey_ failed to create magic at the box office. The important part is that the promos and songs of both films have garnered positive responses from the cinegoers and industry experts are expecting great openings from both movies. Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan will have added advantages of festive and national holidays like Raksha Bandhan, Independence Day and Parsi New Year, which will result into great collections at the ticket windows. Talking about Laal Singh Chaddha, the film is the official adaptation of _Forrest Gump_ and is directed by Secret Superstar helmer Advait Chandan. It also features Naga Chaitanya Akkineni and Mona Singh in prominent roles. On the other hand, Raksha Bandhan, which is directed by Aanand L Rai, also features Bhumi Pednekar, Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Smrithi Srikanth and Deepika Khanna in key roles.
