Parents ask

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

What age is City Lights 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 City Lights?

What the record shows: violence — strong; language — not on record; 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 City Lights?

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.
