Parents ask

Answered from the record below — the certificate, the board’s cut list, and what reviewers documented.
Is Article 15 OK for kids?

Filmi puts Article 15 at 12+ — suitable for 12 and over. The CBFC certified it U/A. That comes from the certificate and from what reviewers documented, not from anyone at Filmi watching the film — every claim on this page is quoted with its source.

What age is Article 15 suitable for?

12+, based on the CBFC rating of U/A. 4 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.

What content should parents know about in Article 15?

What the record shows: violence — strong; language — mild; sex or nudity — moderate; drink or drugs — not on record; frightening scenes — moderate. A category left blank means nobody documented it, not that the film is clean — the full record, quoted with sources, is on this page.

Did the censor board cut anything from Article 15?

The CBFC certified it U/A with no published cut list. That is not the same as the film being uncut — only that no modification was published.
