Strong violence includes bloody beatings and sustained sequences of suffocation. One man tortures another by twisting his fingers with a metal tool. There are scenes of, and references to, domestic abuse and ‘honour killings’. Other scenes depict fistfights.

There are intense and sustained scenes of threatening and aggressive behaviour, including kidnapping, beatings and torture. In a scene of domestic abuse, a man smashes through a door to get to his terrified daughter, then grabs her by the throat and threatens to kill her. Moderate scenes depict a powerful landslide and the subsequent operation to rescue survivors.

There is use of implied strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘whore’, ‘asshole’ and ‘bloody’, as well as implied use of the term ‘bitch’.

There is a brief, condemnatory reference to caste discrimination.

Verbal references to marijuana smuggling occur. Such behaviour is clearly criticised.

A distressed teenage girl is attacked, threatened and grabbed by the neck in an attempt to force her to falsely confess to an incestuous relationship with her brother. Another scene shows a police officer leering threateningly at a woman.
