Parents ask
Answered from the record below — the certificate, the board’s cut list, and what reviewers documented.
Is Maharaj OK for kids?
Filmi puts Maharaj at 16+ — suitable for 16 and over. The CBFC certified it U/A 16+. 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 Maharaj suitable for?
16+, based on the CBFC rating of U/A 16+. 2 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.
What content should parents know about in Maharaj?
Documented so far: sex or nudity — strong, 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 Maharaj?
The CBFC certified it U/A 16+ 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 journalist takes on a religious leader who sexually exploits female devotees under the guise of ritual devotion; critics call the theme distressing but not graphically shown, with strong reform and courage themes.
