Parents should know
Strong scary or upsetting scenes: a young girl slowly dies in the street frothing at the mouth. A caste-oppression drama centred on a village's fight against police power; critics describe police brutality and riot violence as central, alongside a romantic subplot and themes of defiance and justice. Also moderate violence and mild sexual content.
