Canadian Moviegoers Experience Bollywood Intermission
Aditya Dhar ‘s Dhurandhar The Revenge is nearly four hours long. Indians are familiar with the concept of interval, but not many people in Western countries are.

The audience’s reactions were priceless.
The words on the video read, “Dhurandhar 2 effect (Canadian flag). The movie is four hours long, so Cineplex had an intermission, probably for the first time in its history!!!! I’ve never seen this in my 20+years of living in Canada (laughing emoji). Everyone was thrilled.”
