violence
People are shot or stabbed, occasionally resulting in spurts of blood and bloody aftermath detail. A person is strangled to death, and others are struck with fists or improvised weapons such as bottles. An object is seen embedded in a corpse’s forehead immediately following an off-screen murder. There are also brief references to domestic violence.
threat and horror
Villains pour petrol over a weeping captive before setting him on fire off screen. A man is repeatedly shown playing solo games of ‘Russian roulette’, although he is not physically harmed. Other scenes include violent interrogations, gun threat, and targeted aggressive behaviour.
language
Infrequent mild bad language includes ‘piss’ and ‘saala’.
sex
Mild sex references include a scene in which an unsympathetic male character insults a woman by referring to her as another man’s ‘mistress’.
drugs
There are infrequent visual and verbal references to drug misuse and dealing.
suicide and self-harm
