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

What age is Celluloid suitable for?
10+, from the content record (the CBFC rated it U). 2 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.
What content should parents know about in Celluloid?
What the record shows: violence — moderate; language — not on record; sex or nudity — not on record; 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 Celluloid?
The CBFC certified it U with no published cut list. That is not the same as the film being uncut — only that no modification was published.
