Strong substance use: a woman turns to alcohol, becomes addicted and later dies of illness. A tender; tragic biopic about actress Savitri: her extramarital romance, career decline, and alcohol addiction, told alongside a journalist's own path to courage. Also moderate scary or upsetting scenes and mild sexual content.

What content should parents know about in Mahanati?
