155 minutes
The official CBFC certification list records Turbo’s theatrical certified length as 152 minutes, not 155 minutes.
Full reasoning
The Central Board of Film Certification’s official 2024 feature-film certification list includes Turbo and gives its certified theatrical length as 152 minutes. Because CBFC certification is the authoritative record for a film’s theatrical runtime in India, that directly contradicts the article’s claim of 155 minutes.
In the CBFC list, the relevant entry for Turbo shows:
- Film: Turbo
- Language: Malayalam
- Certification date: 16 May 2024
- Certified length: 152
- Producer/production house: George Sebastian / MAMMOOTTYKAMPANY FILMS PRIVATE LIMITED
That means the runtime listed here should be corrected from 155 minutes to 152 minutes.

Search result snippet for the CBFC PDF shows the Turbo entry as: "TURBO | Malayalam | ... | 16 May 2024 | 152 | Theatrical | ... | MAMMOOTTYKAMPANY FILMS PRIVATE LIMITED | UA".
The film was premiered in Sony LIV on 9 August 2024.
Turbo’s SonyLIV debut was reported as beginning on August 8, 2024, a day earlier than the originally announced August 9 date.
Full reasoning
Multiple post-release entertainment outlets reported that Turbo actually began streaming on SonyLIV on 8 August 2024, not 9 August 2024.
- Cinema Express reported on 8 August 2024 that "Mammootty-starrer Turbo started streaming on SonyLiv on Thursday."
- OTTplay likewise reported that the film made its digital debut "a day ahead of schedule", meaning it was available on 8 August 2024 instead of the planned 9 August 2024.
- The Economic Times also reported that the movie reached Sony LIV ahead of its originally scheduled release date, becoming available from August 8, 2024.
So while August 9 was the announced OTT date, the actual streaming premiere happened on August 8, 2024.
