CBFC Clears Drishyam The Conclusion U/A 16+ With Zero Cuts

The Central Board of Film Certification has cleared Ajay Devgns Drishyam The Conclusion with a U/A 16+ certificate and zero cuts, Bollywood Hungama reported exclusively, with Live Hindustan confirming the same clean pass.

According to Hungama, the Examining Committee did not seek a single audio or visual modification, nor the usual requests to localize title cards or add anti-drug tickers. The censor certificate was handed to the makers on Sept. 28. Runtime on the certificate is 150 minutes — eight minutes longer than Drishyam 2s 142-minute (2h22m) cut and shorter only than the 162-minute 2015 original within the franchise.

Drishyam The Conclusion is the second film in the Hindi series to leave the board with a U/A rating and no cuts, after Drishyam 2 in 2022. Abhishek Pathak directs; Alok Jain, Ajit Andhare, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Pathak produce. The cast includes Tabu, Shriya Saran, Jaideep Ahlawat, Prakash Raj, Rajat Kapoor, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, and Kamlesh Sawant alongside Devgn.

Theatrical release is set for Oct. 2, with advance booking already open and franchise goodwill from the earlier hits shaping expectations. Live Hindustan noted the boards recent clean passes — including Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatias The Vvaan as context for how lightly Drishyam The Conclusion was touched. For readers tracking Hindi thriller releases on Bollywood, the U/A 16+ stamp locks the films audience band days before opening.

Verified facts as of Sept. 28 reports: CBFC cleared Drishyam The Conclusion U/A 16+ with zero cuts, runtime 150 minutes, certificate dated Sept. 28, and Oct. 2 theatrical release with Devgn leading Pathak’s cast. Box-office response will decide whether the conclusion matches the series’ prior hold on multiplexes.
