Parents ask
Answered from the record below — the certificate, the board’s cut list, and what reviewers documented.
Is Maalik OK for kids?
Filmi puts Maalik 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 Maalik suitable for?
18+, based on the CBFC rating of A. 5 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.
What content should parents know about in Maalik?
Documented so far: violence — strong, language — mild, sex or nudity — mild, drink or drugs — mild, 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 Maalik?
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.

Saved. One more thing, if you like — your kids’ ages.
Set once, and your vote shows other parents which ages it came from. Kept on your account; only the ages travel with your vote.

Parent note
A gangster rise-and-fall drama set in 1980s Allahabad, heavy on shootouts, gore and brutal violence; critics call it bloody and warn it's not for family viewing. Mild language, a cigarette-smoking lead; no sex scenes noted.
