Mastiii 4 gets censored: 6 dialogues changed, visuals deleted

CBFC orders multiple cuts ahead of release
Mastiii 4, the latest instalment in the adult-comedy franchise, has undergone notable edits after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) flagged several portions for modification. The board asked the makers to change six dialogues and remove specific visuals before granting the film an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate.

Six dialogues altered or replaced
According to the censor report, three dialogues were modified, one was entirely replaced, and two were toned down for language sensitivity and innuendo control. Words like “behen” and “item” were replaced, and a reference to a real alcohol brand was swapped with a fictional name to avoid brand usage concerns. These changes were implemented to align the film with certification guidelines while keeping the humour intact.

Bold visual trimmed from final cut
The CBFC also directed the makers to delete a 9-second “top-angle animal humping” visual, marking one of the strictest cuts for the film. Additionally, around 30 seconds of close-up shots were reduced to maintain the board’s standards for adult content without crossing into graphic territory.

Final runtime and certification
After all mandated changes, Mastiii 4 received its ‘A’ certificate on 17 November 2025. The final approved runtime stands at 144 minutes and 17 seconds, making it one of the longer films in the comedy franchise. Despite the edits, insiders believe the film retains its signature cheeky tone and humour.

What this means for the franchise
The Masti/Mastiii franchise has always walked the fine line between adult humour and censorship boundaries. The latest round of cuts indicates that while the CBFC is willing to permit bold content under the adult category, explicit visuals and sensitive wording still face strict scrutiny.

Conclusion
With dialogues altered and visuals removed, Mastiii 4 moves closer to its theatrical release. The changes may spark conversations on censorship norms in India, but the film is expected to draw audiences familiar with its brand of risqué comedy.
