I have done some research over the past 5-6 days...apparently there are many different prints of this movie. Some places have the movie logging in at 2 hours 40 minutes all the way to 3 hours 36 minutes. Does anyone have ANY CONCRETE ABSOLUTE truth to a running time?
I contacted uTv via Email - they reported back as 213 minutes. I wrote to NYTimes...same thing. Same in Los Angeles. But all over the world, prints have running times of 160min, 180, 185, 200, 205, 213, 216 minutes....crazy.
The BBFC (
http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classifie ... enDocument ) usually has pretty accurate runtimes as long as long as the prints have not been pe-cut before submissions (sadly you can never tell with Indian films) - they have JODHAA AKBAR @ 213m 6s - anything below that would have something or other missing (unless its NTSC->PAL speed problem then the runtime of the uncut 213m could end up as 204/5m). Not sure where the 216m time came from? Maybe someones added their own trailers in

LOL!
Sometimes, very rarely though, the Indian and British releases of certain movies have different running times, with the Indian version being longer -- example: Bride & Prejudice and Pinjar (the latter, in fact, had sequences unique to India and some sequences unique to US/UK).
