violence
There is a prolonged, stylised and darkly lit fight sequence in which a character slashes and stabs thugs using multiple bladed weapons, with accompanying large blood spurts. In one scene, a man uses a spear to skewer a group of advancing thugs. Police officers beat an inmate during an interrogation using batons, landing heavy blows.
threat and horror
An angry mob wielding flaming torches threaten to set a man's cabin alight. There are also occasional scenes of knife threat throughout.
language
Mild bad language ('bugger', 'bloody') occurs, as well as very mild bad language ('God').
discrimination
Characters face caste-based discrimination from feudal landlords. However, discrimination is not condoned by the film as a whole.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A villainous character orders a woman to breastfeed her infant in front of him and his friends in a prolonged scene of sexual threat, with focus on the victim's distress. However, this behaviour is ultimately met with negative consequences.
suicide and self-harm
People attempt to take their own lives, however, they are quickly prevented from doing so.
injury detail
There is close-up emphasis on a severed eyeball, as well as undetailed sight of blood-stained and headless corpses in the aftermath of violence. There is sight of dead blood-stained animals, however, these are clearly computer-generated and not evidence of real animal cruelty. Milder moments include grisly sight of human skeletal remains within the context of a forensic investigation.
theme
Characters are shown grieving the deaths of loved ones in the aftermath of murder.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
