Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 has cleared censorship formalities with minimal modifications across multiple language versions. While the Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada versions received a U/A 16+ certificate without cuts, the Telugu version was asked to mute an expletive word. The makers have also confirmed the film’s runtime and updated theatrical release date.

Drishyam 3 CBFC cuts

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed all versions of Drishyam 3 from the Thiruvananthapuram office with a U/A 16+ certificate. Thankfully, no visual or audio cuts have been ordered in the Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada versions. In the original Malayalam version, the makers were asked to add a static warning card about the dangers of smoking. Meanwhile, in the dubbed Kannada version, the makers were instructed to add a similar static warning card about the ill effects of alcohol consumption. Finally, in the Telugu version, the makers were asked to mute the expletive ‘f**k’ in the second half of the film.
