Madharaasi Runtime Revealed: Sivakarthikeyan’s Action Thriller Runs Nearly 3 Hours

The much-awaited Sivakarthikeyan starrer Madharaasi, directed by AR Murugadoss, is finally ready for release. The film created strong buzz after its impressive trailer and now cleared censor formalities. The Censor Board awarded a U/A certificate and confirmed a runtime of 167 minutes (2 hours and 47 minutes). This makes it one of the lengthiest films releasing this year, and fans now look forward to how Murugadoss structures the screenplay to hold attention for nearly three hours.

Madharaasi Release Date and Expectations

Madharaasi will hit the big screens on September 5, 2025, in both Tamil and Hindi languages. The makers titled the Hindi version Dil Madharaasi. Many fans kept expectations low because of the director’s recent setbacks. However, the trailer changed the narrative by showcasing gripping action sequences, a solid storyline, and a heartfelt love track. This boosted excitement among movie lovers, especially since Sivakarthikeyan is already riding high with the blockbuster success of Amaran.

AR Murugadoss Banking on Madharaasi

Director AR Murugadoss pins all his hopes on Madharaasi after his last outing, Sikandar with Salman Khan, failed at the box office. With this film, he aims to bounce back strongly. A lengthy runtime often tests the patience of audiences, but Murugadoss usually delivers racy screenplays. Fans now expect him to pack the narrative with enough twists, action, and emotions to justify the long duration.

Star Cast and Crew

The film features Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead, while Vidyut Jammwal plays the main antagonist. The cast also includes Biju Menon, Vikranth, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Prem Kumar, Sanjay, and Sachana Namidass in key roles, giving the project a star-studded appeal.

On the technical side, Anirudh Ravichander composes the music, promising foot-tapping songs and a powerful background score. Sudeep Elamon handles cinematography, while acclaimed editor A. Sreekar Prasad takes care of the editing. N. Srilakshmi Prasad produces the film under the banner of Sri Lakshmi Movies.
