The CBFC needlessly altered several lines of dialogue, for example:
"3,000 years of backlog will not be cleared in just 70 years." was amended to "The backlog of age-old discrimination will not be cleared in just 70 years."
A line saying "Dharam ka kaam hai" ("this is religious work") was replaced with "Punya ka kaam hai" ("this is [work toward] a good deed").
One account of an edit suggests a substitution involving the poem Thakur ka Kuan (the Thakur's well), penned by Om Prakash Valmiki. It is unclear whether this poem was replaced or whether it supplanted another. In broad terms, the poem examines upper-caste control of resources and the consequent alienation of lower-caste communities from them.
The CBFC granted certification to Dhadak 2 after requiring 16 cuts.
Siddhanth's complexion was darkened so he could portray a Dalit.
