Daaku Maharaaj

Violence includes shootings, stabbings, throat-slashings, impalements and decapitations, often resulting in blood spurts and bloody injury detail. A villain physically attacks his wife and their young child while holding them hostage. In another scene, a killer urinates on a dying teenager in the wake of a massacre. A pet dog is fatally kicked through a window, and a wild animal is stabbed to death; however, there is no on-screen evidence of real animal cruelty.

Intense scenes include violent attacks, kidnappings, hostage situations and a home invasion. A group of frightened adults and children are doused with petrol and threatened with immolation. A villain attempts to stab a pregnant woman’s stomach.

Infrequent use of strong language (‘maderchod’) is accompanied by milder terms include ‘nee yabba’ and ‘saala’.

There is infrequent sexualised visual focus on women’s bodies.

There are occasional visual and verbal references to the production and distribution of cocaine.

There is a short sequence of implied sexual threat directed towards a kidnapped teenage girl, but this threat is quickly forestalled.

A villain briefly taunts a man over the off-screen suicide of his daughter.

A bullet is removed from a wound in brief close-up detail. A person hacks apart bloody ‘meat’ that is subsequently revealed to be human remains. A massacre scene features sight of bloodied dead and dying victims, including children.

People are shown grieving over the deaths of loved ones.
