Why did BMC demolish parts of the property?

According to reports, the civic body had issued a notice on September 10, 2026, asking those responsible for the construction to stop the work and submit the relevant documents and approvals.

The work allegedly involved several modifications, including changes to the interiors, installation of partition walls and windows and other construction activities without the necessary permissions as per BMC.

However, the corporation later demolished sections of the property, alleging that work had continued despite its earlier order.

The notice was issued under Section 354A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, which empowers the civic body to stop construction in certain cases.

The action relates to alleged breaches of building regulations at the Juhu property. Devgn's office, meanwhile, has maintained that the required changes have been made in accordance with the civic body's directions.

An excerpt from WION's review of the film reads, "While the first two parts had the story divided perfectly among the characters, here all the focus has shifted to Vijay and how and where he hid Sam's skeleton. With not much serious dialogue-baazi (most was done by Jaideep), this movie moves ahead with its expressions, story and actors. The first half of the movie establishes the plot with its omniscient tone, but midway through the movie it does feel a little stretched. The courtroom part is brief and works in favour of the plot. I don't want to talk about the climax, as it should be left to be enjoyed in cinemas."

Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film also starred Tabu, Shriya Saran, Jaideep Ahlawat, Prakash Raj, Rajat Kapoor, and Ishita Dutta.
