Hamare Baarah

A patriarch exercises controlling behaviour over his wife and children, which includes allusions to his assertion of his marital rights and moments in which he uses physical violence against members of his family. The patriarch justifies his behaviour on the basis of religious beliefs and tradition, and a lawyer acting on his behalf in legal proceedings echoes that justification when the man refuses to consent to his pregnant wife having an abortion despite her life being in danger from another childbirth. These elements of domestic abuse give rise to upsetting scenes of family discord and bereavement.

There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms such as 'bastard' and 'God'.

There are mild sex references, including an allegation that a woman has had adulterous relationships.

Women are subjected to sexist behaviour based on religious and cultural traditions. A religious group perceives that legislation enforcing population control is biased against it. Discrimination is not endorsed by the film as a whole.

There are mild drug references.

There are brief bloody images to denote a woman's suicide attempt, which takes place off-screen. In another scene, a man is prevented from taking his own life.

There are references to abortion.
