The third and final chapter of Ajay Devgn's Drishyam franchise has cleared its last hurdle before release. According to Times Now, Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has been certified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), with its official runtime now revealed.
The certification details, listed on the CBFC website, show that the film was certified as UA 16+ on Monday, September 28. The film's runtime is 150 minutes, making it the second-longest instalment in the franchise. The first film, released in 2015, remains the longest at 162 minutes, while Drishyam 2 ran for 142 minutes.
No cuts, per reports
Citing a Bollywood Hungama report, Times Now stated that the CBFC cleared the film without any audio or visual cuts or modifications. That means audiences will see the film exactly as the makers intended.
The certification completes the formal release process for the film, which is scheduled to arrive in theatres worldwide on October 2.
The final chapter of Vijay's story
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam 3 brings back Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar, the character at the centre of one of Hindi cinema's most beloved crime thrillers. Tabu, Shriya Saran and Ishita Dutta are reprising their roles, while Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj join the cast in key roles, as Rajeev Singh Tomar and Indrajith Shetty respectively.
Unlike the first two films, which were direct remakes of the Malayalam originals, the Hindi third part is an original story. Ajay Devgn and Pathak have said the film is intended as the conclusion of Vijay's journey, even as the Malayalam franchise moves ahead with a fourth instalment.
