Dhoomam

There are moments of strong violence, such as bloody shootings, and a man gouging out another's eyes, resulting in brief sight of blood oozing from the wound. Other violence involves crunchy fist-fights, shoot-outs, and use of improvised weapons.

Characters are threatened at gunpoint and knifepoint. Bomb threat becomes increasingly palpable throughout the film. A character holds a gun to her head threatening to end her life when she fears a bomb inside her will detonate, but another character intervenes.

There is use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other milder terms ('shit', 'bastard', 'shit', 'bloody', 'piss', 'screw', 'hell' and 'God').

A Chinese prisoner is referred to as 'Jackie Chan' by one of his captors.

There are brief verbal references to marijuana.

Characters sustain bloody injuries and there is occasional close-up emphasis on gunshot wounds and crime scene detail.

There are scenes of bereavement and emotional upset at the funeral of an infant who died from passive smoking.

There are frequent scenes of people smoking cigarettes and vaping. Tobacco is a consistent theme of the film as it follows the dealings of a company marketing counterfeit cigarettes, and thus smoking is sometimes framed as a glamorous activity. In some scenes, a character must continue to smoke counterfeit cigarettes to neutralise a bomb thought to be lying dormant inside her body.
