It has now come to light that the Mahendra Singh Dhoni biopic Dhoni: The Untold Story is 3 hours 10 minutes in length.

It was shown to the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) this week. Says a source close to the film, “The Board wouldn’t touch a single shot. They said every moment in Dhoni’s story is inspiring and motivational. The film clocks in at a solid 3 hours and 10 minutes of playing time.”

Interestingly, the film is split in two unequal halves. Says the source, “The interval occurs after 2 hours 40 minutes of playing-time at a crucial juncture in Dhoni’s saga.”

Reacting to the CBFC’s clean chit, the film’s director Neeraj Pandey says, “This was expected.”
