However, few changes were made to the film. The cuts were related to language, visuals and an alcohol warning. An 8-second-long romantic kissing scene has also been removed. The censor board also instructed the makers to mute and remove certain objectionable words from the film’s audio and subtitles.

The total duration of the visual deletions amounts to eight seconds, while the muted dialogue does not affect the runtime. These edits were made at three places—one in the first half and two after the interval. Additionally, the CBFC asked the makers to add a static anti-liquor warning message during scenes featuring alcohol consumption.
