Parents should know
Strong violence: a man's eyes are gouged out and his fingernails pulled out during torture. A historical war epic about a Maratha king's rebellion against the Mughal empire, with graphic sword battles and a lengthy, harrowing torture sequence in the climax that several critics say is difficult to watch. Also strong scary or upsetting scenes and strong sexual content.

Parents ask
Answered from the record below — the certificate, the board’s cut list, and what reviewers documented.
Is Chhaava OK for kids?
Filmi puts Chhaava at 18+ — suitable for 18 and over. The CBFC certified it 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 Chhaava suitable for?
18+, based on the CBFC rating of A. 3 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.
What content should parents know about in Chhaava?
What the record shows: violence — strong; language — not on record; sex or nudity — strong; drink or drugs — not on record; frightening scenes — strong. 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 Chhaava?
The CBFC certified it A with no published cut list. That is not the same as the film being uncut — only that no modification was published.
