Jolly LLB 3, starring Akshay Kumar, has received a U/A 16+ rating from the CBFC, with minor cuts required before its September 19 release.

Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's much-anticipated Jolly LLB 3 has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a U/A 16+ rating, just days ahead of its theatrical release on 19 September. While the courtroom drama received approval, the CBFC asked for minor cuts and modifications before giving it the green light.

Jolly LLB 3 cleared by CBFC after following changes

Jolly LLB 3 features courtroom drama, humour, and intense legal battles. It is directed by Subhash Kapoor and has a star-studded cast.

According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, among the changes made, the old disclaimer was replaced with a new one, and any visible alcohol branding was blurred. The film also had to include a fictional location and year at the start. A profanity (f****r) was muted throughout, while a scene involving police violence against an elderly man was toned down.

Additionally, a line of dialogue was changed to "emergency clause", and certain logos seen in the background or on documents were blurred or altered. In the second half, another line was modified to say: “Janki amma ka gaon sirf ek...cheque muh pe fek ke mara. (There's only one village that belongs to Janki mother…Threw the cheque right at the face.) ” The final certified runtime of the film stands at 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 16 seconds (157.16 minutes).
